Luis Miguel, the best and strongest of the young Latin singers' voices, returns with an album that like his previous works, mostly celebrates the classics of the past. After all, without the composers' who's songs are featured in "Mis Romances," guys like Julio Iglesias, Alejandro Fernandez and Miguel himself would be out of a job (unless they go into opera or more folkloric stuff). The guy's a crooner like Sinatra, maybe even better, and here he does what he does best with some of the best. Though the album can sometimes can a repetitive tone, there is no denying the skill and talent that vibrates off every performance. Anyone with an ear will tell you this guy has a VOICE. "Amor, Amor, Amor" is a catchy, classical and moving little ballad that proves that a song as old as your parents can still be just as convincing today as it was back then. "Amorcito Corazon" is beautiful and rich, with nice lyrics and a truly classical feel. While wanna-be singers like Enrique Iglesias TRY to produce timeless love songs, Miguel sings the one's that truly belong on the pantheon of Latin classics as does Julio Iglesias, another classical crooner who doesn't just make his bucks by looks, but by sheer talent. Miguel shows here he has a powerful voice, very strong and unique and he brings these songs to life like the exhilarating "La Ultima Noche" which turns into a fiery salsa beat. "El Tiempo Que Te Quede Libre" is very emotional and nice, like what you would tell a girl that you want but has her attention distracted by someone else. Even those who do not speak español will at least enjoy the classical skill and care given to each track and appreciate Luis Miguel's talented vocals. I suspect in some years these tracks as well as his others will take the form of classic pieces like Sinatra's recordings. Really well-done and worth the price.
Luis Miguel es sencillamente un artista de excelencia. Ha llegado al punto exacto de madurez. Sin dejar las baladas pop, ha marcado un sello en la música latina. Even if you dont understand spanish, but you like ballads, you should have this CD.
A mi modo de ver, él debió haber incluido algunos temas mas movidos en este disco, pero creo que el título no lo merecía así.
Es un disco profundo, con mucho , pero mucho romanticismo, como para escucharlo en una cena con velas :-)
I can't agree that Luis should have left the uptempo numbers off Mis Romances, which I think is the best album he's ever made (well -- except MAYBE Segundo Romances!) If you listen carefully and follow the words -- even if, like mine, your Spanish is guesses, a dictionary, and memories of high-school French -- every single song on this album is an absolute classic. I like the ballads better myself, but just listen to the fantastic things Luis does with his voice on "Amor, amor, amor"! His taste -- his choices of songs -- and the production of the album are impeccable. The London Philharmonic sounds like what it is, a world-class group -- I wish I could have been in the studio when they were recording. My only complaint is, I would have liked to hear a new song or two from that wonderful composer Juan Carlos Calderon. "Volver", "Al que me siga", "Que sabes tu", "Como duele" -- I've done nothing but play them over and over for a solid week! Can't wait for the concert!
Mis Romances is good, but because of the inclusion of a couple up beat numbers it's not as good as the preious three Romance outings by Luis. If you want to hear Luis at his absolute best I'd pick, in the following order, 'Romance' (1991), 'Segundo Romance' (1994) and 'Romances' (1997).
Acabo de comprar el nuevo CD de Luis Miguel, y quede impactada. Esta bellisimo!! Me atrevo a decir que definitivamente es el mejor cd de boleros que ha hecho Luis Miguel hasta el momento. Pienso comprar mas para regalar a mis amistades en navidad, todos se merecen un regalo como este. Si no lo tienen, no saben de lo que se estan perdiendo. No se decepcionaran al escucharlo, se los aseguro. Con musica como esta no se como pueden decir que Luis Miguel debe de dejar de cantar boleros. JAMAS!!
I just heard the new cd by Luis Miguel. I must say that it is the best of the four bolero cds he has made so far!! If you don't have it, buy it!! I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I am definitely going to buy more for my friends and family, they deserve a gift like this for christmas. With music like this i can't understand how critics can say he should stop singing boleros. NEVER!!
