Influences: Review from Spike Magazine-Connecticut-based Requena’s boardroom-slick Gloria Estefan soprano is well worth the princely studio values that Sony-ize this collection of salsa-pop; it’s dentist-office Enrique Iglesias for men who swoon. Three songs are her own creations, treated like the others to fine arranging by an assortment of clever deck-hands. All the songs save for one are sung in Spanish - the Marvin Hamlisch standard “Looking Through the Eyes of Love” gets dragged through Requena’s sunny barrio without getting at all overdone. -Eric Seager...................................................... ...........................................................R eview from Salsa Italia-' Argentina' - or in order to use a term less desueto - ' cristallina' the voice of this singer - and compositrice - than us introduces eleven brani sauce piu' one balada (Enamorame) to the standard of the romanticismo, evidenced also from the agreement soft for single tromboni. Various however the sfruttabili brani also in know it and however from the sound winning: Coolness - I' m not ready (sung in Spanish) - Buscando amor - a Despues de you, que? - and still I' m not ready in the version originates them English. A romantico and pleasant album therefore, distributed from www.cdbaby.com - Y...

Diversi comunque i brani sfruttabili anche in sala e comunque dal sound accattivante: Fresco - I'm not ready ( cantata in spagnolo ) - Buscando un amor - Despues de ti, que? - e ancora I'm not ready nella versione originale inglese. Un album romantico e piacevole dunque, distribuito da www.cdbaby.com - Y...' por ahora, refréscate con mi musica' !-A cura di: [email protected]
