Since the release of 1996's dance-oriented
Planeta Paulina, Paulina Rubio has switched labels, refocused her musical energy, and emerged with a palette of sounds and styles that makes
Paulina her most diverse and mature album yet. With the help of Colombian producer and songwriter
Estefano, Rubio has taken the rock, pop, and dance influences heard on previous albums and blended them effortlessly on this collection, her fourth. The first single, "Lo Hare Por Ti," rides an infectious guitar hook, while "Yo Sigo Aqui" and "Sexi Dance" showcase pulsing club rhythms. Rubio even dabbles in
Go-Go's-flavored pop ("Sin Aire") and interprets one of the great
Juan Gabriel's polished ballads ("Cancun y Yo"). The album's shining moment, though, is "El Ultimo Adios," which bleeds electric guitars and a lilting pop beat into a traditional mariachi arrangement. Forget

Paulina is Latin pop for the new millennium.
