Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Light rock tunes and soft pop ballads marked Enrique Iglesias's 1995 debut, but what obviously propelled him to the top of the charts was his young good looks and his pedigree, son of perhaps the most famous troubadour in the music world--Julio Iglesias. "Trapecista" and "Experiencia Religiosa" were solid tunes with catchy hooks. And even on the simple tune "Por Amarte," one can detect Iglesias exploring wailful tones and learning the power of melodic phrasing. In "Si Tu Te Vas," he examines idealistic love, while "Inalcansable" captures youthful dreams. Those songs are the bright spots in an otherwise pedestrian pop-ballad CD. The fact that Iglesias scored five consecutive number one singles on Billboard from this CD may attest more to the power of the elder Iglesias's worldwide fans. --Ramiro Burr

5.0 out of 5 stars ENRIQUE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Enrique Iglesias [1995] (Audio CD)

Enrique is simply the best! He is even better than Ricky Martin, and anyone else, and I give him five stars just because I can't give him more, but if I could I would give him billions of them or all of the stars in the universe! I have all of his albums and I think they are great! I never heard such a good collection of CDS as these! I recomend you all to buy them all, 'cause they are FANTASTIC!!! I love them! I just listen to them every day! I heard some others, but they just can't be compared to Enrique, 'cause HE IS THE BEST! Buy them you all, 'cause the price is cheap compared to the quality of these CDS, and if you haven't gone to any of his concerts you better go cause is just the best of all the greatest experiences that you could ever get! Best songs: Bailamos, Cosas del amor, Miente, Ruleta Rusa, Muneca Cruel, Sirena,Experiencia Religiosa, Contigo, only you (bilingual version), Vivir y Por Amarte. I recomend you to listen to those songs cause they are just the best of all. For more info abut him [e-mail]. VIVA ENRIQUE IGLESIAS! BAILAMOS!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy man, sexy music, July 9, 2003

By	olanike ayedun (Arlington TX USA) - See all my reviews

I live in America and I have never heard the father sing, so it is very annoying when italians say he is popular because of his father. He posses one of the sexiest voice alive. When you listen to his music, it's like having a slow and pleasurable orgasmic experience. Plus he dances so well. He is a great artist and am looking forward to another release from him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mystical experience, October 13, 2001

By	AArraez (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enrique Iglesias [1995] (Audio CD)

With the imminent release of Enrique's latest album Escape it's great to contrast it to his earliest. These songs were written when Enrique was a teenager insecure about himself and in love with the world around him (as teenagers often are) His songs definitely come from the heart and if you understand the lyrics you can easily relate to the simplicit complexity of Enrique's emotions. The best song on the album is undeniably Experiencia Religiosa you can listen to it forever and never grow tires. The smooth rock sound of Si Tu Te Vas is definitely another fan fave and listening to it you can almost hear the legions of fans singing along in concerts. Not to be a one track horse the tempo lifts slightly with Muneca Cruel written by Rafel Perez Botija who is responsibe for many of Enrique's upbeat pop songs. Muneca Crual is the most distinct song on the album and the listener is taken into the song completely unaware and is floored by a facet of Enrique that otherwise would have gone unexplored on this album. In short this album is perfect for nostagia, rainy days, and for when you're depressed. It's an essential for all those old romantics....in short buye if you appreciate good music buye this CD.
