Nuevos Senderos was Olga Tanon's breather from her regular "Queen of the Meringue" status. The songs were artistically written and well produced by Marco Antonio Solis from Los Bukis fame. For fans who are expecting a fast-paced meringue workout, this album is not it. Instead, you get well-crafted and very beautiful, romantic boleros, ballads, and maybe a few cumbias. From start to finish of entire c.d., vocals and instrumentation are magnificent ! You can feel the passion and emotion that Olga put into this project along with Solis; She can really belt out with her voice on these ballads ! This c.d. is highly recommended. Do not dismiss it simply because you might think it's too slow- paced--there are plenty of surprises that may change the way you think about Latin boleros, cumbias and ballads with this one!!!...

One of my favorite CDs-a truly amazing talent & voice-as good as it gets-this CD is soooooo GOOD-a MASTERPIECE-thank GOD for Olga Tanon-I love you!!

Nuevos Senderos was Olga's first non-Merengue CD. The songs are a lot slower than what she usually does and they seem to fall under the Grupero category on this CD. "Me Subes, Me Bajas, Me Subes" is probably the most popular and upbeat track. Most of the songs were written by Marco Antonio Solis. Olga's voice is very clear and gorgeous. Even though it's not her best release, it's still quite good.

Olga Tanon's "Nuevos Senderos" is a great CD for old Olga fans, seeing the way they react to it. But I am a newer Olga fan, and "Nuevos" really didn't get me that excited. I have four Olga CDs, most of them upbeat, and this CD kinda turned me off. The only songs that I almost always repeat are "Cuestion de Suerte", "En Ti", and sometimes "Basta Ya!". I like the live version of "Me Subes, Me Bajas, Me Subes" much better than this version, it seems slower. All in all, a good CD, but better get more experienced with Olga Tanon before delving into her more experimental works. :-)
