5.0 out of 5 stars compelling, December 25, 1999

I had recently bought four of Enrique's albums ("Enrique Iglesias", "Vivir", "Cosas Del Amor" and "Version En Italiano") via amazon.com, because they are unavailable in the U.K. - I've been a fan since his U.K. singles, "Bailamos" and "Rhythm Divine" and U.K. Debut album, "Enrique" came out this year in 1999. Everything he has recorded , so far, has been compelling and easy to listen to (I don't understand Spanish, but I understand what he is passionately singing about. The music and his vocal approach is very promising). It's hard for me to pick a favourite C.D. amongst his non-English speaking albums, but I've written this review with the "Vivir" album, because I liked his rendition of "Solo En Ti", which I instantly recognized as the old, U.K. hit by Yazoo (Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet), "Only You". Enrique's work is fresh and quite innovative for latin American music - may he continue to shine !

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent vehicle for a unique Latin voice, October 25, 2001

This review is from: Vivir (Audio CD)

Enrique Iglesias has one of the most distinctive voices in Latin music: supple, tremulous, and dripping with emotion. I think of him as the archetypal "sensitive guy" singer. "Vivir" is a great showcase for his style; the CD offers a balance of slow, passionate songs and fun, faster numbers.

"Vivir" starts out strong with the romantic "Enamorado por Primera Vez" and then moves on to "Al Despartar," an intense ballad with a rock flavor. Then comes "Lluvia Cae," a bubbly, fun song that Enrique tears into with total commitment. Other notable selections on the CD are the intense "Miente" and the stirring "Revolucion."

Although Enrique has gotten a lot of attention lately for his English-language "crossover" work, I find his most compelling songs to be the type of Spanish language songs found on "Vivir." This is an outstanding CD, and an essential choice for fans of Latin pop.
