Every so often an artist or group comes along that redefines bachata. Monchy y Alexandra, Aventura, Xtreme, and now Prince Royce. While his debut album is only 10 tracks deep, it's amazing from start to finish.

Xtreme has more of an R&B edge to their music, whereas Royce adds some pop and R&B flavor both to his songs. This Bronx Dominicano writes all of his own lyrics, and the music production is as perfect as a plate of abuelita's mofongo. Even though his Spanglish cover of "Stand By Me" was the chart-topper, I think the rest of his tracks are even more amazing.

If songs like Hoja en Blanco moved you, Royce's "Mi Ultima Carta" will have the same impact. The standout track on the album for me is the love-is-blind themed "Corazon Sin Cara", a throwback to Anthony Santos singing Obsesion on the smash 2002 Aventura album. I also predict that Rechazame is destined to become a club favorite. If you dig songs like "Tempted to Touch" by Rupee, then the album's English tracks like "Crazy" will appeal to you.

It's almost impossible to listen to this CD without dancing. If you love bachata as much as I do, treat yourself today and buy this album.

In retrospective, when i first read these reviews i thought it was a little far fetched to compare this new kid i never heard about to great groups like Aventura and Xtreme, which i'm a big fan of. With this name i thought was kind of corny. But i got the cd and for the past week that's all i've been listening to. The name had to grow on me more than his music did because as soon as i uploaded it to my ipod and listen to it, i was an instant fan. DON'T DELAY AND GET THIS!!!

Such an awesome collection! I love listening to this - songs are uplifting and and have an excellent beat to them. Oh, and his voice is a perfect tenor! The production and quality of sound is also excellent. This will not disappoint.
