After her hard battle with cancer, Soraya comes back full of strengh, great songs and success...the first single from this production "Casi" (almost) has been a hit in the U.S and Latin America. The song delivers an important message about life, faith and reality with lines such as: "Is this a nightmare?, it can't be true, I wake up with a landslide and I start to slip, I've almost lost my faith, I've lost strengh to keep fighting", that was her feeling when she knew about her illness.

The rest of the songs are great, like "Solo por ti" (only for you) which is a beautiful ballad or "Sin explicacion" (without explanation) which is a fusion of pop and flamenco. There's also an acoustic version of "Casi".
This production has several rhythms and wonderful lyrics.

If you don't know much about Soraya I'd say that she's one of the most talented singers in the Latin Industry, her style may not be very commercial but she has many hits such as: "Derrepente", "Avalancha", "Si te vas" and "En donde estas?". Her first cd was recorded and realesed in England where she had a big impact with her cd in English.
I think that would be fare if she wins a Grammy for her song "Casi".

5.0 out of 5 stars Soraya..., May 14, 2003

Wow, what can I say? Soraya never fails to satisfy her fans. Here we have the final result of her newest and most intimate cd to date. For those that are not aware--or are new fans--Soraya was diagnosed with breast cancer over two years ago, right after releasing "Cuerpo Y Alma." She had to cut her promotion short, since it was up to her to avoid sharing the same fate as her mom--for whom she wrote the song "En Esta Noche"--aunt, and grandmother. Finally, after a successful recovery Soraya is back and full of energy using her first single "Casi" to prove it. "Solo Por Ti," "Espejo," and "A Tu Lado" also lets us know that Soraya was facing a tough time, and as a result, these songs make up the best of this heartfelt cd.

I can't describe nor praise enough Soraya's talent, she always seems to outdo herself with every new cd or at least equals her previous work. In "Soraya" we hear a new side to her musical evolution, and a country beat seems to work well with the theme and mood of this cd--overcoming, surviving, but most of all empowering and succeeding after facing such a life threatening ordeal.

This cd is definately for music fans that can appreciate lyrics that make sense, but most of all it is for people who seek artists--true artists--that offer genuine music and feelings with every work they do.

No disposable junk music here. Too bad most mainstream artists can't deliver such great cds.

If you like this cd I highly recommend obtaining Soraya's other work; "En Esta Noche," "Torre De Marfil," and "Cuerpo Y Alma" for more soul-touching music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent CD, December 10, 2003

If there's anything lacking in this CD, that is depression. Please, the songs cover a wide range of emotions from love, happiness, and the joy of overcoming cancer. This cd comes from a true artist who writes her songs, plays her guitar, and sings from the heart. This not your usual commercial nonsense crap. BTW it helps it you UNDERSTAND Spanish otherwise you wont appreciate the beauty of her music which is perhaps what's depressing some ;)
