Seduccionfinds Tejano princess Jennifer Peña fully embracing her potential and individuality as an artist. The album features an impressive mix of polished cumbias and dramatic ballads, anchored by Peña's maturing vocals and the slick work of producers Rudy Perez and Kike Santander. "Vivo y Muero en Tu Piel" is the type of glittering, emotive ballad that has become a trademark of Peña's repertoire. The song is also featured in a cumbia remix and in a re-recorded salsa version, which finds Peña spicing things up with a more spontaneous vocal delivery. Producer Santander melds tropical and cumbia rhythms on the fiery "Cumba IHO," one of the album's best tracks. Peña herself boasts production credits on "Ya Veras" and "Si Yo Me Vuelvo a Enamorar," a pair of straightforward cumbias that blend perfectly with the rest of the album. Curiously, the weakest moment is "Como Saber," Emilio Estefan Jr.'s only contribution to Seduccion. The vocals and verses are appropriately dramatic, but the chorus soon becomes repetitive, and the instrumentation sounds uneven and thin. It's a small misstep, however, in an otherwise vibrant collection of songs. Just wait until Peña starts recording in English.--Joey Guerra

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW-from nasal to Great APPRAISALS, November 22, 2004

I have liked Jennifer Penas music from day one. And as much as people want to compare her to Selena, shes not the same,.. if not BETTER. But like I said I have heard her voice evolve from a untrained sound to almost a Celine Dion. I have the last 3 albums and Seduccion just makes you go WHOOAAA (puberty) JK. I mean I could switch back n forth from the other CDS but Seduccion has you glued to your sound box. I give great kudos to Jen on mastering this cd with such a powerful voice with a beautiful personality and persona along with it. Not many artists can have that all in one package like you.

4.0 out of 5 stars I wanted more ballads...but it is WORTH my PURCHASE, June 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Seduccion (Audio CD)

Hi there. When I bought the Cd, I was expecting more ballads. As you know, Jennifer Does really good on those type of songs. I am not really into the MEXICAN REGIONAL TYPE SONGS. I like LATIN POP MOSTLY. So I was a little dissapointed that it has less than half of the BALLADS, but EVERY SONG has great LYRICS. THE LYRICS save everthing else. I strongly urge you to BUY THIS CD. Perhaps after all, you will want to dance to the beat of the other songs. Just in case you did not know, Jennifer's current SMASH HIT SINGLE: Vivo y muero en tu piel" Is NUMBER 1 on the BILLBOARD TRACKS. And her Album debuted at Number 1 too. So there you have it. A great CD to enjoy.

Jennifer Pena, though well known to Latino music audiences and fans of Mexican/Tejano music, is pop music's "best kept secret" in English-speaking North America!
Seduccion is her 6th CD since 1996. It's available as a CD only, or packed with a DVD of music videos, and behind-the-scenes footage. It follows her very successful 2002 CD titled "Libre", which contained the hits "A Fuego Lento" and "Vamos a Mundial."
I have all of her CD's and can say honestly that each one offers at least 2 or 3 masterpieces, yet each new CD is even better than the one before.
Jennifer is only 20, and as she has matured, her voice has gone from wonderful to fabulous. She has the voice of an angle, and is instantly convincing and unforgetable. The songs are touching and heartfelt ballads of love--innocent but intense.
For "American" audiences, Pena's songs are a gentle blend of pop, country, and soft rock, sung in beautifully pronounced Spanish (a treat for students of Spanish who also have a heart and soul).
"Seduccion" is a great way to discover Jennifer Pena: cuts 1,2,4,7,9 and 10 all became instant favorites of mine.
If you don't know Jennifer yet, because you're listening to what the American radio stations decide to feed you, you're missing so much! (It's no accident she's Number 1 on Billboard's Latin Chart!)
Listen to "Vivo Y Muero En Tu Piel", "Hasta El Fin Del Mundo", "Aunque Me Cueste La Vida", "Si Yo Me Vuelvo A Enamorar", and "Cumba Iho." Then buy "Libre" and discover "A Fuego Lento."
Fall in Love with Jennifer.
