This is a great album including pop and some rock elements, combined with a sweet recognizable voice. Each song has its special thing and the duets harmonize in every way. The origin is no doubt the Spanish linguistic zone, but at no time there is too much of Spanish guitars or any other cliché. Short, this is an intelligent mixture.
Towards the end there is a fantastic increase which I had not expected. The sound is harder, guitars are more dominant. There are two additional tracks, which are worth buying the full album.
Ultimately the collaboration with Francesco Sondelli is something special, what means that Shery is able to convince in Italian language, even if only for one song.
Hopefully we hear more of this special Guatemalan singer. This is not a CD for one's time is needed: It yearns to be heard once again, from the beginning.

Antes de escuchar este disco supe que seria bueno, pero para mi grata sorpresa resulto mas bien espectacular: lleno de canciones inspiradas, entregadas con pasion por una voz deliciosa, que acaricia y cautiva como ninguna otra que haya escuchado.

El hilo central es el amor, sobre todo el que duele. El nombre "El amor es un fantasma" esta muy bien puesto, pues eso es lo que evoca: un sentimiento del que nunca nos desprendemos, una sombra que nos sigue a todos lados, que tortura pero que hace que valga la pena vivir la vida, y la voz magica de Shery que, una vez la escuchas, se te pega y te acompaña a todos lados como un hechizo del que no se quiere jamas despertar.

Con este primer album, la joven y bella cantautora guatemalteca Shery ha logrado una rara hazaña: combinar una produccion musical de calidad maestra, con una fresca sensualidad, atractivo pop y clase pura. Es en conclusion un disco que enamora, con cada detalle superando al anterior: fotografia exquisita, en un booklet de 16 paginas, canciones que suenan a hits, llenas de un sentimiento solo posible porque es ella misma quien las escribe, cantandolas con verdad desde el fondo del alma, ademas de letras que valen por si solas como poesia pura, y melodias originales que no se parecen a nada, y que ahora viven en mi cabeza y se me han metido al alma.
