With "Soy", the 10th album in her carrer, Latin Rock Diva Alejandra Guzmán proves again that she knows how to make great music again and again. In this album, Guzmán displays a great collection of rock songs like "Diablo", "Labios De Fuego", "Caramelo" and the first single "De Verdad". In this album, she co-wrote songs with stars like Steven Tyler from Aersomith and British pop singer Robbie Williams. Don't forget that this album was produced by Desmond Child, producer of mega stars like Ricky Martin. If you are a fan of great rock or just want to listen to some good music in spanish, buy this.

Alejandra Guzman is known as the "Queen of rock" in the latin market.
She started her career in the late 80's and since then she had made hits.

In 2001 she released "Soy" (I am) an album with an ambitious production. Featuring Desmond Child (producer of singers like Cher) and Randy Cantor.
The first single "De verdad" (Truly) became a hit in Latin America. Followed by the second, also the hit "Diablo" (Devil).
"Soy" includes a good selection of songs like "Quiero vivir" (I want to live), written specially by Robbie Williams for Alejandra; the ballads "Volvere a amar" (I will love again), "Abrazame" (Hug me) and "Lluvia" (Rain) sound very good in Alejandra's voice.
The most rock n' roller song is "Diablo" the other ones like "Todo" (All), "Labios de fuego" (Fire lips) or "Caramelo" (Candy) are basically pop tracks.
I have some cd's of the Alejandra's collection and I feel that she used to be more rock and roller, now her music is softer, with her style of corse but not as in the early 90's.
"Soy" is a certified Gold and Platinum production and won a Grammy in 2002.
I recommend the songs: "De verdad", "Quiero vivir", "Todo" and my personal favorite "Vagabundo corazon" (Vagabond heart).

She is a singer, not metioning any names. Her voice and energy always gains attention. Alejandra has returned and she is hungry for being in the top againg and with an excellent album. Although I think you don't have to be in the top ten to have an excellent album because their are great albums out there that nobody knows about and its a waste no to give them a chance. But certainly that's not Alejandra's case because she is always fun, down to earth, controversial, etc,etc.... and the best thing is that this album is her; just like the other ones, this is the second album I buy of her and I regret not buying the other ones because she is worth listen to.

In general, I liked this cd, it's very rocker.But, I don't like "de verdad" song, the song is boring( and won the grammy for best song? ). In contrast, I love "diablo","soy tu lluvia" and "abrazame", good for Alejandra..Everybody must have it.

It took me some time to appreciate this album from Alejandra Guzman because I envisioned it as some cheap adult contemporary pop rock album thanks to Desmond Child being the primary producer. Even the videos for de verdad and diablo were just not enough to convince me.
I decided to FINALLY check it out FOR REAL and I have mistaken this album so much. It's one of her best. Great lyrics and as always a great unique voice that accompanies the music.
Volvere a amar is a song that can match the brilliance of one of her earlier hits titled Despertar.
Diablo is set to be a classic in her repertoire.
And labios de fuego just ROCKS in a whole erotic way!

Worth checking out!

First off, its her first cd in about 2 years. And the minute you get it back on, A RUSH from title "Diablo". Oh Yeah!! Then you're hit with "Dime de verdad" amd you're hit with a much deserved "radio hit" for her in a long while. Yeah! But as you go in to the cd you get into more of a creative look into "rock en español". "Volvere Amar" the tearjerker of the cd is very good, finishing off with the last 2 tracks are very much her style...in a way. Its a good start for the new millenium...

Ale's latest is a little mellower than some of her previous work. Verdad is the big (and deserved) radio and video hit, with a great tune and clever lyrics. Diablo is particularly meaningful if you are aware of Ale's checkered personal history.
I like Algo Natural slightly more, but this is a worthy addition to your CD collection.
