4.0 out of 5 stars The man is back with a Salsa beat!, April 5, 2000

George Lamond became the king of freestyle with classics like "Bad of the Heart", "Where Does That Leave Love", and his duet with Brenda K. Starr "No Matter What". Now he's back with his first Salsa CD, "Entrega". George shines on the #1 smash "Que Te Vas", a masterpiece written by Mexican-born singer-composer Juan Gabriel. He also re-made Menudo's classic hit "If you're not here" in Salsa and sounds as good as Robi Rosa did on the original. If you like romantic, Marc Anthony style Salsa, this one's for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars El es un cantante guapisimo!, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Entrega (Audio CD)

I had never heard George Lamond until I listened to the music samples on Amazon. I was instantly infatuated. I am a huge fan of DLG and his voice had a Huey Dunbar quality to it. Except it was also uniquely George. Every one of his songs is so soulful and full of energy. It is a perfect album for salsa dancing. I luv how the CD is also multimedia--the music video is definitely worth chesking out, as is the interview. I was thrilled to learn he was born February 25th. My birthday is the 26th and this had a special importance to me. The fact that someone so talented was born so closely to my birthdate makes me honored to be a Pisces. Please, listen to the sample on Amazon and buy this CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great voice....material only "so so", December 4, 2004

My introduction to George Lamond's album, "Entrega" was my first experience listening to the sample of the first track, "Si Te Vas" (written by Juan Gabriel). It sparkled with energy and life. I wanted to get up dancing then and there! What a great interpretation of a song that was first recorded as a ballad.

Unfortunately, the rest of the album is not up to par with that first song. First of all, I want you all to know I think George is a great singer. I have heard his earlier material, before he decided to go the salsa route, and, though, I am not a huge fan of 80s freestyle music, that guy made me like it anyway! He has the kind of warmth, expression and originality that definitely makes him stand out in a crowd of numerous other singers who have recorded similiar material. It's unfortunate, but a lot of the songs sound the same on this album start off the same. We hear the same syncopated sound from the timbales, the same hook. It just sounds too repetitive. I imagine this is what puts people off of salsa so much--they think that if they have heard one tune, they have heard them all. At first I thought I was hearing things, so I kept going to the next track to confirm that what I was hearing what true. Sure enough, "Cuando Se Ama," "Solo Palabras" (with the corny reggae bridge), "Te Amo," "Me Niego de Perderte," "No Vivire," "Amor de Enterga Total," and the rest of the tracks (with the exception of "Si Tu No Estas") basically sounded the same.

Come on, George. I know that isn't all you have in you! Still, if this your introduction to Mr. Lamond, and you are only listening to it for the vocals, you won't be disappointed. (Though, it is hard to ignore the accompaniment.)
