Music reviews of Almas Del Silencio (W/ Vcd)

Music Review: As good as Ricky has gotten!
Rating: 5 Stars

So he's finally back. Back with a good production that took, instead of Mr. Robi "Draco" Rosa, a handful of Latin America's most acclaimed songwriters and his still-fresh compratiot, the great (in my opinion) producer Tommy Torres.

There is definitely much to say about the long-awaited "Almas del Silencio". Let me start by the first single "Tal Vez", penned by Ricky's buddy Franco de Vita. "Tal Vez" stayed untouchable in the number one position of the latin section of Billboard for seven weeks straight since its debut. And no, that doesn't necessarily say that "Tal Vez" is the best song out there, this event, is most-likely a sign of the arousal and excitement that Ricky's fans went through when they heard of his come back. By now, we should all have an idea of the many fans Ricky has... or don't we? My opinion: "Tal Vez" is a decent song with a very nice message, performed with feeling and this time in a raspier, easier-to-sound-good-live voice format. The orchestral arrangements I would say, are wonderful.

Jaleo, as the word runs, is the pending single for America... the only thing I could say about it is that everybody seems to love it and I will not exclude myself. It has a unique blend of Middle East sound influences with percussions that make our body's rock.

Moving on to the third track of the album, "Jamas" is catchy, and very hard to dislike.

"Si tu te vas" by Juanes is a track that Juanes had written for his self-titled album and left out for "x or y reasons". In my opinion it stayed out because of the lyrics... not Juanes' best, but still good. The melody and musical arrangements are beautiful, thus still making it a hit.

"Nadie más que tú", partially written by Ricky is a beautiful ballad, that maybe was a little bit biased when it came to producing it since it was in part, his lyrical creation. Ricky gives voice to it with passion... but there is a little down to the song. Apparently Ricky Martin is not that good of a writer. Sorry I am a great Ricky fan and I love him, but writing is not his talent. "Clara como cristal", "Más allá del sol" and "Sin ti nada es igual" are lines that I could almost assure where written by Ricky, and boy they're trite and weak lines.

"Besos de Fuego" is a great track... very nice fusion of sounds and arrangements.

"Asignatura Pendiente" is a masterpiece in all senses. From Arjona's great lyrics, to Tommy's great production, to Ricky's great performance. A classic.

"Juramento"... Danny, I know you like how that title looks but the name of this song is "Así es que te quiero yo"... just kidding, you do whatever you want, but you know what I mean. Great job though. This song showcases Danny Lopez' talent.

"Y todo queda en nada" is a song that I really like. It gets caught in my head all the time. And yes, it is probably one of the most commercial track on the album, but it is a track everyone will like. Ricky breaks a new singing techique in while performing this song. I love it.

"Si ya no estás aquí" another great fusion with a touch of commercialism thanks to the fact of Emilio Estefan producing it.

"Raza de mil colores" is really, really good. Very latin folk. Quality work.

"Las almas del silencio" = Alejandro Sanz using Ricky's voice... not the worst thing ever. Nice lyrics Mr. Sanz. Tommy, where do you get all the imagination?

Well, there could be a lot more to say... but I don't think anyone would regret buying this production. Reason why I give it a 5/5 (plus the fact that I'm a Ricky Martin fan).

No, you don't have to speak spanish to enjoy the album... they made sure to give the universal touch to it.

Peace!

Description of Almas Del Silencio (W/ Vcd)

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Being a pop icon is nothing new to the Grammy-winning, Puerto Rican singer/actor Ricky Martin. He was a child star with the '80s kid group Menudo. And he was a regular on the soap opera General Hospital. But he hit the big time in 1999 with his smash Anglo hit Livin? la Vida Loca. On his new CD, Martin returns to his Hispanic roots with this zesty Spanish language release, which translates as Souls of Silence. Backed by poetic and pulsating string/synth/horn production from Tommy Torres, George Noriega, Emilo Estefan and Stefano, this effort comes with all of Martin's grand moods and grooves. The fiery, flamenco-flavored "Jaleo" is rendered in Latin pop and hip-hop, Spanglish versions. Both takes, along with the equally danceable numbers like "Besos de Fuego," are designed to move your bon bon. But Martin's bolero ballads "Tal Vez," the title track, penned by the other Latin star Alejandro Sanz, and Ricardo Arjona's "Assignatura Pendiente" show that Martin can sing for the heart and the hips. With this effort, Ricky Martin moves into Celine Dion territory and may be able to keep his loyal Latino dance/ pop fans while making new ones in the adult contemporary market. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
