Music reviews of Valio La Pena (Jewl)
Music Review: Marc shines through the standard sound of this salsa album..
Rating: 4 Stars
When it comes to Marc Anthony, he is truly a living legend and a shining example of true Nuyoriquen salsa. Combine this with the magic touch of Sergio George's production style on several numbers and the wonderful supporting musicians and this is an unbeatable combination.
I was glad to see that "Escapemonos" was re-recorded as a salsa version with JLo--far more catchy and well-produced. I found myself dancing in the music store. "Tu Amor Me Hace Bien," "Volando Entre Tus Brazos," "Amigo" and "Se Esfuma Tu Amor" were definitely danceable and "Ahora Quien" was so much better as a salsa song than a pop ballad. My favorite song was "Lamento Borincano" which was done in the traditional folk style. It sounded beautiful, and though it was similar to "Preciosa" from his earlier album, it was still beautiful to listen and full of soul.
Description of Valio La Pena (Jewl)
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Singer/songwriter Marc Anthony gets back to the basics here, rewarding his main fanbase by recording salsa versions of the Spanish-language pop ballads on his Amar sin Mentiras CD. Beyond "Lamento Borincano," the old folk-salsa standard by the legendary Puerto Rican songwriter Rafael Hernandez, there isn't anything new. The other seven tracks are simply horn-fueled and percussion heavy retakes. But even those who already have Amar can find new juice here. Valio La Pena vibrates with new sonic urgency as Anthony describes the risks sometimes necessary in finding romantic happiness. The pop version of "Ahora Quien" was dramatic and anthemic. Here, it's speeded up and filled out with melodic pianos and horns. Even "Escapemonos," the tepid duet with actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, gets a recharge in the salsa version thanks to percolating percussions. Anthony's strength is his strong, plaintive vocals. On ballads he's ok, but it's in fiery salsa tunes where the music and the vocals really complement each other. Did we really need two Anthony CDs? Probably not, but his hardcore salsa fans will appreciate the extra effort. --Ramiro Burr
