Yes, we hear you girl!, March 16, 2004
This review is from: Esencia Natural (Audio CD)
Since the 2nd season of Spain's Opweracion Triunfo started in late 2003, Ainhoa had always come accross to avid viewers as the contestant who had to strive to prove herself. Others in her batch had it easy- Nandez always wowed the judges, Beth was under the radar, Vega mystified everyone with her exotic beauty, Toni Santos had mass appeal. Ainhoa, meanwhile, armed with a huge stage presence and a grand voice, got under the judge's chopping board as early as the first episode. With all the emotional breakdowns when nobody among her competitors voted to save her and a swift brush with Vega, she seemed to have had the rockiest road to the finals. But heck, no matter how rocky the road was, she went on to the finals. To sweeten the deal, she bagged it, first prize and all. That after 3 nominations to be booted out of the contest, a "fistfight" with one of the contestants, and an intense desire to throw in the towel in the middle of the game.
After winning the contest in convincing fashion, Ainhoa strikes back with Esencia Natural. Armed with the creme of the crop- from producer Emilio Estefan to songwriter Shakira, Ainhoa delivers yet again. In listening to the album, there is that same energy Ainhoa has brought from the contest- the aim-to-please energy. Somehow, one can just hear it from her voice. Maybe she may try too much, but for people who have seen what this girl had to go through to achieve her status, all her efforts are definitely not in vain.
The album is lush, technically excellent, and should be supported. Ainhoa is one talent the world should notice, and better notice fast!
