If you want the quick synopsis, skip to the end of this review. Otherwise, here's the LONG story! One day, in March 2005, I hit the wrong number on my stereo remote and instead of winding up on the "oldies" channel, I landed on the Latin Pop channel where I was mesmerized by La Fuerza Del Destino. Of course, I had NO IDEA who this Fey woman was, being as I didn't speak Spanish! I HAD been a Shakira fan since Laundry Service, even her Spanish albums, but I'd never looked any deeper into Latin music. At any rate, I really wanted to hear the song again SO I started listening to the Latin Pop channel just to hear Fey every 4 hours 45 minutes! Of course, in the meantime, I exposed myself to LOTS of other Latin musicians and music and REALLY ENJOYED IT. Not the depressing, angst filled stuff being cranked out lately by English speaking musicians! THAT'S why I'd been splitting time between 1955-70 Pop and the 80's music of my college days.

Back to the point--I took a chance and bought La Fuerza Del Destino from Amazon and WOW! FANTASTIC! From start to finish I just loved it! Of course, I couldn't UNDERSTAND anything, SO I decided to teach myself to understand Spanish. Living in the boonies near the Canadian border, there isn't anybody around who speaks Spanish (eh?) so that's why I had to teach MYSELF! I'm pleased to report success. I can now read and understand Spanish fairly well. Making up my OWN sentences is still a bit S L O W and pathetic, but I can UNDERSTAND lyrics and Spanish language movies (although I have to cheat with closed captioning at times when they TALK TOO FAST!). But I digress!

Since then, I've bought most of FEY'S other albums (and numerous other Latin albums!) from Amazon.com and enjoyed them ALL! Today, I can look back and say that La Fuerza Del Destino is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for my discovering a WHOLE NEW WORLD of music that I never knew existed AND for my learning a whole new language!! So thanks, FEY! You expanded my musical world and even made me want to move SOUTH OF THE BORDER--although it might be that I'm just getting tired of shoveling all the SNOW we get up here in the north!

NOW TO SUMMARIZE: I think that La Fuerza Del Destino is AWESOME. 12 GREAT TRACKS, not a lame one amongst them! Having never heard Mecano's versions (or of Mecano for that matter!) I judged this album as "new" material and not as "remakes". Happy, FUN dance pop with a techno-flair! La Fuerza, Barco A Venus & Busca Algo Barato are my favorite tracks. The whole album reminds me of the great American/English techno-pop from the 1980's. Nothing cutting edge or quirky (ala Shakira), but VERY WELL PERFORMED and WELL PRODUCED. Cantando de buena calidad de una MUY HERMOSA mujer! I'll be back for more FEY when her new album comes out! FIVE STARS (y muchas gracias, Fey!) for LA FUERZA DEL DESTINO!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fey, Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte!, June 19, 2005

Fey is a girl that has a very pretty voice, for my any song that sings me it finds magic because has a style and a form that alone she possesses, the third sail the ballad Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte it is a clear example, also to each song it put a touch very to the fey, which makes the Cd A lot but Amusing.

This is my 3rd cd from Fey. I own her 2nd and 3rd cd also. I wanted this cd because their was a couple songs I heard on my latin music channel. And I loved those songs. I heard that these are not new songs. That they are songs from a group which I never bought any of their cds. Mecano. But I think they are all great. Wonderful cd Fey. Thank You.
