3.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for THE VOICE., November 20, 2001

In case you don't know, Huey Dunbar probably is the most exciting singer in many years. With his former band, DLG, he was the gem in a spectacular ensemble. Their 3 albums cannot be recommended too highly. This first solo disc, though, is not in the same league. It still has Huey, so it is worth obtaining, and it isn't as though the songs are not pleasing. But Huey, DLG, and producer Sergio George previously set such a high standard that this effort falls a bit short. It is because Huey and George are so darned good that I grade them hard. They are capable of the very best, and this isn't it. Still, don't let me discourage you from buying it if you liked DLG or you are looking for some decent Latin music. It's likely you will enjoy it. But lets hope for better the next time out.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love HUEY!!, February 28, 2001

I have been waiting for Huey's solo album quite a while since the breakup of DLG, Dark Latin Groove, and it has been worth the wait. I do miss the voices of Frances, and James, but Huey does carry the band. The song "Yo Si Me Enamore" translated to mean I sure did fall in love, epitomizes how I feel about this cd. I really did fall in love with Huey's voice all over again. His sultry voice is so smooth and sexy that I feel the pain and power of his voice each time he cries each verse. This cd has great promise for Huey, and hopefully will take him to the top. It has rumba, salsa, hip hop and all the ingredients for a great salsa cd. I can't stop playing his other cds, but I know I won't be able to stop listening to this one either.

5.0 out of 5 stars a one-of-a-kind album...., December 2, 2004

I have to say that Huey Dunbar truly made a smooth transition from Dark Latin Groove to his solo aspirations on this debut album. When I was first introduced to Dark Latin Groove, one of the first elements I fell in love with was Huey's beautiful, sexy, expressive and soulful voice. It was comparable to a young Michael Jackson, except more heartwrenching.

There is a wonderful cross-section of sounds here. We have the sultry son ("Yo Si Me Enamore"). the touching ballad ("Con Cada Beso"). and funky hip hop/latin fusion ("Chikicha").

It's a shame that there aren't more people who are familiar with this amazing singer and that he disappeared from the salsa scene after only a couple of years. This is a great album because it appeals to audiences familiar with various styles of Latin music and others who might only know about salsa and aren't aware of the numerous other styles in music.
