4.0 out of 5 stars Elan, Elan, & More(mas) Elan, November 9, 2003
A Kid's Review
The issue is not whether Elan is from Guadalajara or any place. It a matter of opinion, ask mine: her music is rocks. It depends what you like.

Realmente no importa si esta chica es de Guadalajara o no. Es questions de opiniones, si me preguntan a mi: su musica esta buenisima. Depende que les guste. No fuera de Monterry porque entonces si ... les gusta michisimo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing debut..., June 24, 2004
Ask yourself this question. When's the last time you heard a singer that just left you in awe? I can not stop listening to this album! It is quickly becoming one of my faves. Her voice is simple, no over singing a la Christina Aguilera/Kelly Clarkson/Joss Stone here. Just emotion, honesty, soul and passion all coming out of this woman's mouth. The music is at times dark and moody, yet it is so simple and elegant. I honestly can not say that any other album released in the last couple of years has sucked me in like this. I listen to this at least once a day. Never do I get sick of it. Every song is amazing, but I must say my favorite is The Road. It's so rare that an artist comes along w/ such an amazing debut where you can honestly sit through every song in awe.

I really love this album, it's very original, every track is very catchy.
Leave Me: love it, perfect lyrics and a good oppener for the album.
Midnight: It's cool, it reminded me to hanson but still unique.
Sorry baby: The lyrics are very, what can I say? melancholic great song.
Hideaway: I had the opportunity to watch the video in internet and liked it too much as the song.
Jeremy: Not my favorite but still ok.
The road: My favorite song in the album, is slow, catchy, the lyrics, wow!

They came from the city: ok song...
Shy: also good
Another woman: the black sheep in the album, didn't like the song :S
Call home: I like the background music, like very country?
Time: another favorite!!! this girl really know how to write songs, love it.
Street child: excelent end for the album, and also love the hidden track.
