Frankie Negron's "Lo Que Llevo por Dentro" represents this superb vocalist at his best. The Spanish-language songs on this album combine romantic lyrics with the percussion-rich rhythms of Salsa music. Frankie's voice is distinctive: a combination of masculine power and boyish sweetness. And he brings great passion to each song on this disc.

A special bonus to this disc is the appearance of the excellent song "Enamorado de Ti" in two versions: one salsa, one a gentle ballad. Both are, like the rest of the album, excellent. Some of Latin music's best songwriters, including Leo Vanelli, contributed compositions to "Lo Que Llevo por Dentro." If you love Latin music in general or Salsa in particular, check out this album.

The trend in pop music today is that "Hispanic" music is "in." But too often what passes as "in" is mere pop music--in Spanish. Ricky Martin, Shakira, and Paulina Rubio are typical of this bland trend. But Frankie Negron is the real deal. His brand of Salsa is alive and pure. The sound is both original and classic, but never dowdy or boring. Frankie Negron is not a "back to the roots" type artist; he honors the pure Salsa sound by doing it right. This album will appeal both to purists and teenagers alike. Frankie is the real deal. Ricky Martin is to Frankie Negron what the Monkees were to the Beatles.

I fell in love with this CD the moment I listened to it. I have Frankie's other CD's, which are also great. I must say that this young salsero is definitely growing with the music. He gets better and better. Frankie, if you are reading this, you are wonderful. Always remember that you have a huge fan in New Jersey. Keep up the great work. Your salsa is too HOT to handle.

I must say that FRANKIE NEGRON have a extreme voice and his music of such emotional heart warming feeling, he interpretation to his song touch anyone heart.. When I first heard one of his song from his second album. i ask who it was and soon that day i bought his CD then a year bought his new third album .. I really enjoy his music and I think he is one of the best salsa singer. I can't never hear enough of his song . Now i have order his first CD from amazon.com and can't wait to have it in my hand he sure beat Marc Anthony off my shelf ...if you like romance fast song or fact of life fast and slow good dance salsa , Frankie Negro is the one he deliever it all ....Framkie if you ever come across reading this you are my number one favrote singer & I am your number one fan .....Que viva Puerto Rico .......... Boricua

Frankie's third cd is a good one that will keep people dancing in nightclubs. His voice still sounds as good as ever. However, there isn't really any song that stands out on this cd. I would rank this cd a notch below No me Compares. If you like Frankie's music, then you will like this one.

This CD has great energy and passion. By the end of the second song I often find myself shouting things like : "sing it Frankie!!" What a great talent this man is!

It's a descent salsa album. If you are a salsero from PR or NY you can tell without reading the liner notes which songs were recorded where. He proved how a mixture of NY salsa and PR salsa make an album worth listening to.

Ok, I have had lots of time, and this has to be one of my most favorites that I have now! I love almost all of the songs, if u don't get this one u are missing out on something sepcial.

I always like to leave reviews, b/c I know I like reading other peoples and they are informative. Well, i Just got this cd. I have Frankie's 'No Me Compares' It is okay. This one.. well usually I have to give cds time nad hten I fall in love with them. This one hasn't done much for me yet. I love Frankie, but I don't know about this cd. Gimme some time...I haven't heard any songs yet that I have fallen in love with. but cd comes w/ more pics of him and stuff. cool chevere..

It has taken me a surprisingly long time to really like this album, but I have gradually inched up my rating with repeated listenings.

The material is somewhat variable on this album, ranging from very very good to somewhat awkward in arrangement, to one really bad song.

It seems the better the song, the better is Frankie's singing.
Four of the salsas, all arranged by R. Sanchez, are extremely good, and Frankie is a great singer here. These are Remolino, Enamerando de Ti,(this will be a classic), Desesperadamente, and Amarte Asi. I especially like the terrific background singers. The arrangements are very modern and cutting edge.

Desde que Fuiste, is another good one, even if the arrangement is slightly awkward at times. Que Ironia de la vida and Por Ti have a lot to like, but the arrangements could be a little more smooth. Recordando a mi Papa is a lovely song, and Frankie sings it very well. I can't help but imagine Marc Anthony, who Frankie is often compared to, singing this one even better tho.

The ballad version of Enamerando de Ti is quite nice.

The one dud is No me Arrepiento. THis is a bad song! That must be the reason that Frankie sounds so strained. At one point, it actually sounds like his voice is about to break.

I have raised my rating of Lo Que llevo por dentro from 2 to 3 to 4 stars! The best songs I would rate 5 stars. This album is a major advance over his first two albums, and better than Por tu Placer, which I find much less sophisticated.

Not as versatile as Marc Anthony, or as perfect in voice, Frankie sounds best in a song which is carefully tailored to range and style. At his best, Frankie Negron is a very appealing singer.
