4.0 out of 5 stars THIRD TIME AROUND!, December 19, 2002

By

This review is from: Turmalina (Audio CD)

Third album from uruguayan singer/actress Natalia Oreiro. She started off making latin pop and she had a successful debut album. Later, she moved on to a more rockier sound and was able to pull off a great second album. Now, third time around, she has mixed those elements that made her famous in the first place with a new sound. The result was something between great and awful. It seems nothing was in the middle. You will either love it or hate it.

1-NO SOPORTO: Rock track. The chorus sounds annoyingly girly to fit the music. It could have been so much better. 5/10
2-QUE DIGAN LO QUE QUIERAN: Another rock song. This has been a hit and I personally like it a lot. 8.5/10
3-AMOR FATAL: Reminds of past hit "tu veneno". It still has a rock beat and a guitar solo. Really catchy chorus. 9.5/10
4-ALAS DE LIBERTAD: down-tempo nice song with social content. It's nice. 7.5/10
5- CANTO CANTO: Back to debut album? Probably. This sounds really Latin with a candombe feel as well. You'll keep singing the chorus for days! 9/10
6-CAYENDO: Average rock song, not much to say. The first lines can be recognized from "Kachorra" since it was used a lot in her soap opera. 7.5/10
7- POR VERTE OTRA VEZ: It was about time! Finally, a ballad appears...and it's not half bad! - It's nice and she shows a better vocal range than in previous cds. Still it can't beat "Me muero de amor" or "Como te olvido". 8/10
8-CUESTA ARRIBA, CUESTA ABAJO: This song was huge because it was the song to her new show. It's a cool track which talks about nothing, really. This one is another you'll be singing to in no time! 9.5/10
9-NO VA MAS: This is my favourite track. It starts with a funny bit and then turns out to be a great rock song. Definitely the best song in the album. 10/10
10- PASION CELESTE: Candombe feel again. this time with a worse result for sure. The music is good but I have to say the vocals are weak. Worst moment of the album? 4/10
11-MAR: Well sung and written verses I'd say. Chorus is not that nice. Down-tempo well-produced track. 7/10

Ok, it only has 11 songs which is not a lot. Plus, if you listen to the ones you really like, then in my opinion the cd would be down to about 6 songs. Natalia shows a better vocal range than in previous albums and the cd is well produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad... AT ALL!!!, April 1, 2004

First of all let me say this much; I, for one, am more than thrilled that Natalia didn't follow the recent trend of leaving everything you are behind and selling out to the English-speaking market. She is and always will be a "Latina", which is why she should never have to try to pass herself off as anything else. And as for all you non-spanish speakers... LEARN THE LANGUAGE! It's a very beautiful and easy to learn one, so... go ahead!
As for the album... being an Oreiro-fan for quite a while and having followed her singing career quite well, I can easily say this is by far the best album she has ever made (from the vocal point of view). Her vocal abilities seem to have grown inmensely, while her music style has also changed completely. Going from the typical latin sound presented on her debut album, she has now switched to a more powerful type of music, leaning more towards rock, althout still mixed with many latin elements, beats, sounds, etc.
This is a very enjoyable product for anyone and a definite must have for all the Oreiro-fans.
