Enrique Iglesias

Back in the late 90's, we've seen a huge Latin explosion in the music industry. While there have been acts that have been more about hyppe, and less of heart and soul like Jennifer Lopez, who hasn't really been a credible singer lately, or Ricky Martin, who hasn't really made an English pop album in years who just made everyone say they were Livin' La Vida Loca so much, others made it because of their family bonds. That was the case with Enrique Iglesias. His family has had a enormous career with singing because of the triumphs of his father Julio, and his sibling Julio Iglesias Jr., who has a moderate career in English a few years ago. But, it is hard to believe that it has been nearly 10 years, and Enrique has been the last Latin crossoverof the 90's act standing today. Now, his English music career is celebrated with a new hits collection.

Enrique Iglesias 2008 Greatest Hits, is a single disc reflection of his biggest ballads and seducing women to dance, that spans his 1st decade of success. The collection is noble, and a simple reintroduction to what he has brought to the table. The songs have all been remastered well, and include his boldest songs. All the hits are here from his seductive dance smashes like Bailamos and Rhythm Divine, to his intimate ballads such as Hero and the overlooked and seductive Could I Have This Kiss Forever with Whitney Houston. There are a few new songs here that really lack a bit of chemistry though, that miss the mark by a longshot including Away with Sean Garrett, and Takin' back My Love with Ciara, which feels like it is lacking soul and heart. That is something you haven't yet heard from Enrique, and that makes the new songs feel more like a turnoff than a starter for love and games in bed.

Still, despite those new tracks which feel more like a drag than seductive starters, Enrique Iglesias Greatest Hits isn't a bad buy for hard core fans, but mostly could've had a bit more for those who haven't yet heard any of his standards at all. While it isn't a bad purchase, I just was honestly hoping for a bit more to say that the rhythm was more divine to.

I have been a long time fan of Enrique Iglesias. Ever since 2001 when Escape came out I knew I would be a huge fan. I just got such a great high listening to that music. Naturally I went out and bought his previous english album, and all the ones after that.
I Was excited when I heard news of a Greatest Hits Album. Having heard all his Studio albums in full I can say i'm also a bit dissapointed, since there were so many hidden gems that didn't even become singles,songs like "Roamer", "Love 4 Fun", "If The World Crashes Down", "Sad Eyes", "Your My #1" or "Ring My Bells" (Don't Worry. I'm not crazy, Enrique's Hardcore fans will know what i'm talking about).
But as for the casual fan This compilation is all you'll ever need, since it has all the singles on it from Enrique's MTV hey day (Escape Era) and then some....They're all here from the signature hits "Hero", "Bailamos", "Be With You", "Escape", "Do You Know"...to the other hit singles "Love To See You Cry", "Rhythm Divine", "Addicted" ect.
The reason I feel this could have been better is if "Ring My Bells" had been on this collection (IT'S THE SONG FROM THE TRUE STAR COMMERCIAL, SO CHECK IT OUT IF YOU CAN), but then again it wasn't a single, so Why would it be on this album? This collection appears to be just for the casual listeners, as they might not own any of his Studio Albums. As I said if you're a casual listener of Enrique, this is the only CD You need to own, still it would have been nice if Interscope had put some more hits on here. There's room for more, since this CD is pretty short for a Greatest Hits clocking in at only 66 Minutes, but still it's a decent summary of Enrique's hits from the last Decade, and anyone more than a casual listener will probably own his albums anway, and might just buy this for the 2 New tracks. The new single "Away" is great, and "Takin' Back my Love" with Ciara is catchy, once you give it a listen or two.
Fans of this album would also do well to pick up "95/08" (his Spanish Language Greatest Hits Album) if you're just getting into Enrique, This is the Album to Start off with.

at their best, preferabbly the singles, however "7" and "Insomniac" leave something to be desired. If youre a casual fan it won't matter much though. All the singles are here. Buy it for the songs from his first 2 albums, and the new tracks.

Peace . Out.

Enrique Iglesias, Is by far my Favorite Male Performer I was so excited to hear of a greatest hits package.
The music as always from Enrique is the Best, But being that I am a creative person I have to say you can tell the record company through the package together very quickly. The pictures of Enrique Are very good but, the CD itself is plain White no artistry at all and the booklet, dull no lyrics.
I already know the lyrics but to have them included would of been nice , and the chart positions would have been nice to see. this booklet is very thin with just pics and a tracklist, very boring. and the cover could have been better as well.
With Enriques awsome talent he deserves better than a quick thrown together CD.

SO OVERALL: MUSIC ***** 5 STARS
ARTWORK: ** 2 STARS

After hearing Bocelli on the Today Show one morning I wondered why I had never purchased any of his CDs. I went out immediately and randomly purchased a CD and fell in love with his voice and songs. I listen to this in my car constantly and never tire of hearing the great passion in his singing.

I like the following songs:
1. Dell'Amore Non Si Sa
10. In-Canto

My favorite CD from Andrea is "Amore" which I liked every single song in it.

BEFORE I START, LET ME SAY, THAT I AM A DANCE CLUB GUY AND THAT, ORDINARILY, THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC. OF COURSE, I LAUGH AS I SAY THAT, AS, APPARENTLY, A NEW DOOR HAS OPENED IN MY LIFE, THANKS TO THIS MAN.
A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD HEARD ANDREA DO, "CON TE PARTIRO," ON A PBS SPECIAL AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS THAT ANY HUMAN COULD MAKE SUCH SOUNDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED; MORE ASTOUNDING, STILL, WAS TO HEAR THIS ALBUM AND FIND THAT HIS VOICE HAD ACTUALLY VASTLY IMPOVED OVER TIME. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? " CON TE..," PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE QUALITY OF THIS WORK; THE TRACKS ON THIS CD ARE PERFECT, FULL, RICH, AND MORE MOVING THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I HAVE HAD IT A WEEK, NOW, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE FOR VERY LONG, AND I PLAY IT OVER AND OVER. IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN AFFECTED LIKE THIS BY ANY VOCAL CD. IF HE NEVER RECORDED AGAIN HE WOULD HAVE MADE A MARK ON THE WORLD OF AUDIO NEVER TO BE ERASED OR FORGOTTEN. WHAT A VOICE! WHAT SONGS! THE CUT, "LIBERTA," ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME WITH FEELINGS OF JOY AND MARVEL. I HAVE EVEN TAKEN UP STUDYING ITALIAN BECAUSE OF IT.
TREAT YOURSELF, AND A GOOD FRIEND, TO THE SOUNDS ON THIS CD. SIT AND WATCH A SUNSET WITH IT ON... I MEAN NOW!

If you like soft music that make's you feel up beat, just order a Andrea Bocelli CD. Listening to his CD's after being at work all day, is like having an option in life to hear and be somewhere else.

One of his best. Need the lyrics translated from the Italian to the English inside the casing next time. Nonetheless, Mr. Bocelli has a beautiful voice. It made my wife and all my female co-workers swoon when they listened to it.

Insomniac seems to have a slower pace than than his previous efforts, but it all blends together quite well, with tracks oscillating between exuberant dance anthems and softly spoken, well arranged ballads. The album concludes, as per usual, with a series of earlier tracks in Spanish and two remixes.

With this album, I'm always reminded of a commercial for the MTV show Rob and Big, where the two leading men enter a drive-thru car wash where no one can see them and blast the song "Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)" on maximum volume as they dance in their seats and sing along. Once the machine wash is finished and their car exits the tunnel, they turn to one another and agree to keep it a secret. Yes, I'm going for a point here. While the past few years have seen the American airways turn away from the lighter pop that would have ascended the charts in the 90s, there's little resisting the fact that it's still fun and, frankly, good music.

Ultimately, if you accept it for what it is, fun and undemanding pop, it's actually a quite enjoyable, well produced and well executed album.

I think this is one of his better albums to date. Songs like : 1. Ring My Bell, 3. Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song), 4. Somebody's Me, 5. On Top Of You, 6. Tired Of Being Sorry, 8. Wish I Was Your Lover, and 10. Stay Here Tonight, are all great songs, it has a good blend of a great beat, good lyrics and the soulful voice of Enrique that puts these songs among his greatest yet and it rivals his past albums. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of Enrique and a fan of good music in general.

El otro día me sentía un poco preocupado con el artículo del mes de junio. No sabía si debería escribir del nuevo grupo Yerbabuena de Nueva York, Marisela Verena de Cuba, o Martirio (María Isabel Quiñones Gutiérrez) de Huelca, España. Y en mis trampas de luz, me encontré con el joven Michael Cosculluela de padres cubanos y criado en los Estados Unidos. El es uno de los compositores de mi canción predilecta en inglés de los pasados 4 anos `Just A Phase' la cual el canta a dúo con Lissette en el disco compacto LA LINEA DE LA VIDA y nos pusimos a platicar.

Michael compartió algunos aspectos de su vida en su camina a la fama. Me comento de su colaboracion con Jessica Chirino con la canción "Where Are You Running?" que es bien pegajosa. Mientras platicamos un poco de su vida, compartió su gozo de haber grabado todos los voces del coro de las canciones "Dímelo" en español y la versión en ingles `Do You Know... (the ping pong song)?' del último disco compacto de Enrique Iglesias, INSOMNIA. En ese momento, me informo que Enrique ya había grabado todas las canciones y el disco compacto saldría al mercado pronto.

Con gusto, fui al website de Enrique Iglesias, y en efectivo, se le oye claramente a Michael cantar a fondo ... dímelo, dímelo... ¡Quede entusiasmado y interesado en conocer mas del nuevo disco de Enrique Iglesias que seguramente será el éxito del verano. Después de tres años de espera el cantante vuelve con la producción número ocho en su carrera un álbum más rockero y latino que saldrá a la venta a nivel mundial el próximo 12 de junio del 2007.

INSOMNIAC es una producción donde comento Enrique Iglesias en una entrevista: "El amor aparece en todas sus etapas. Creo que el amor es un tema universal musicalmente, si escuchas la radio el amor está presente en todo momento, y aunque es un álbum más diverso musicalmente, espero que sea mi mejor disco, pero eso lo decide el público".

Este jóven cantautor ha vendedo más de 40 millones de discos y compuso la mayoría de los temas de INSOMNIAC. Estos incluyen también colaboraciones con Sean Garret, John Shanks, Mark Taylor y Paul Barry, Rami Yaccoub y Arnthor Birgisson, Max Martin, Johnta Autin, Kristian Lundin, Steve Morales, entre otros. El álbum, que cuenta con una gran diversidad y riqueza de sonidos se grabó entre las ciudades de New York, Los Ángeles, Atlanta, Miami, Londres y Suecia. El mismo cuenta con la participación especial de Lil' Wayne, quien por primera vez colabora en un proyecto pop, imprimiendo su influencia Hip Hop al tema "Push".

El álbum contiene los temas 'Ring My Bells', 'Push', 'Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)', 'Somebody's Me', 'Tired of Being Sorry', 'On Top Of You', 'Miss You', 'Wish I Was Your Lover', 'Little Girl', 'Sweet Isabel', 'Stay Here Tonight' y 'Don"t You Forget About Me'.

La única canción que he escuchado con atención es `Dímelo' y creo que esa versión es más interesante que `Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)'. `Dimelo ya se ha colocado NUMERO UNO en la lista general de radio de Estado Unidos y Puerto Rico. Este el primer sencillo del álbum es una co-autoría de Sean Garret, Bryan Kidd y Enrique. El tema fue producido por Carlos Paucar y Enrique Iglesias. Enrique ha dicho: "La música y letra reflejan la velocidad de un relámpago a la que trascienden las relaciones afectivas y define la naturaleza cambiante del amor".

En su trayectoria musical algunos de sus éxitos mas importantes en ingles son: `Hero', Bailamos, `Be It You', `Escape', `Rhythm Divine', `Addicted; y `Not In Love' y algunos de sus éxitos más importantes en español son: `Si Tu Te Vas', `Experiencia Religiosa', `Esperanza', `Nunca Te Olvidare', `Cosas del Amor' y `Quizás'.

Bueno, veremos que otro tema les traigo el mes entrante. Pero mientras tanto, le deseo mucho éxito a Michael Cosculluela en su trayectoria musical ya que últimamente canto a dúo con Lissette `Eclipse Total del Amor' en su concierto AMARADITOS. Me pregunto: ¿Le seguirá los pasos a John Secada, el que grabo ese éxito anteriormente?" Me gustaría continuar siguiéndole los pasos a este nuevo cantautor Cosculluela ya que me interesa saber que nuevas sorpresas y logros artísticos traerá. Mientras tanto, canto el coro: "... dímelo, dímelo...

I have duplicate copies of most of Enrique's CDs so I can have one in my home and one in my car. Enrique is by far my favorite artist.

This is by far my favorite of all of his CD's. I LOVE IT. It is the first one I listed to in the morning..It gets me up and full of energy for the day. It is a great workout CD too.

This CD is AWESOME, I love the music. Makes you want to go dancing. Highly recommend purchasing this.

Amazon doesn't have the correct list of songs on their page, and that drove me crazy, so I thought I'd share the list with others. My only complaint would be that "Alguien Soy Yo" is only on the DVD disc and not the CD.

Any of my cd players coudn't read the second cd, so I didn't have the chance to enjoy the second cd.95/08 [CD/DVD]

I bought this CD/DVD because I wanted to have his videos.
I like Enrique's music a lot, specially when he sings in Spanish.

very good, i bought it for a friend and she didn't realize its all in Spanish. but if you don't mind you should buy it. we listen to it all the time has lots of great videos.

Excellent CD/DVD all of my fave. songs are here, I would recommend to everybody. If you like Enrique Iglesias, you'll love this CD... a must have...

I received this cd fairly quickly...in about 5 days with basic shipping and when I read this seller's info on this cd they claimed it was like new, but when I got it I was a bit skeptical that it would play because the back of the cd looked as though they tried to buff out scratches with some sort of machine...it does play though...EXCELLENT in fact. And for the price...amazing deal! -Lily_like_the_flower@yahoo.com

I love the songs on this cd. He sings with such emotion. True love songs..

The best songs on this album is Rythm Divine and Ritmo Total!Just those two songs alone makes me give it 5 stars!

Being the son of legendary Julio Iglesias it was no coincidence that Enrique would become a singer aswell. Blessed with good looks, charisma and a smooth romantic voice, Enrique debuted with this English album in 1999. Many of the hit songs here are latin uptempo's like "Bailamos", "Rhythm Divine", "Alabao" and "Oyeme" that perfectly came in a time where Latin music sold well to the English market (Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Jlo, Shakira) but there are also great powerballads like "Be With You", "I Have Always Loved You " and "I'm Your Man" and covers like Bruce Springsteen's "Sad Eyes" and top notch duets "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" with Whitney Houston. There are also spanish versions of 3 songs towards the end, including the big hit "Rhythm Divine". From a commercial point of view, "Enrique" had it all and it sold really well also. Enrique was the artist on everybody's lips in 1999-2000. He would later release "Escape" that was also good and lastly "Seven" in 2003 that was a dissapointment. Now it seems like he's spending more time being a celebrity and dating hot models then being a good singer. A shame. "Enrique" is an exellent pop album though, recommended.

I had to buy this cd again because my other one got ruined- totally worth the money- this cd is the best

My daughter got this for Christmas and was just THRILLED...has played it non-stop...yow! Her mom likes it too so it's great for the best of both worlds!

I usually don't listen to this particular style of music but I must say I went to an Enrique Concert this week and his music really blew me away to say the least. I went on a whim for my birthday. I immediately felt transported to another time and place. In saying all this, I went out and bought his latest 3 albums "Seven", Enrique, and Escape". All 3 have a similar threaded theme but are each unique. I enjoyed every song. On "Seven" I really liked "Not in love". That song just screams out having good times with friends in a local club/pub atmosphere. I also liked "Be Yourself, Addicted, California Callin, Break Me Shake Me and Rommer". The whole darn thing is good. If you purchase it, you won't be dissapointed. I look forward to the next album release. WAY TO GO ENRIQUE!

I can't believe it's been a year since someone did a review of this album, so I figured i'd update it and write a review myself.
Being a big fan of "Escape" and a massive fan of "Enrique" I was naturally very excited when I heard news of a third english album by Enrique Iglesias.
"Seven" may not be as theatrical as "Escape", but it's a good listen none the less.
Having said this it did take a short while to grow on me, and like some of his other songs "Escape" and "Love To See You Cry" some of the songs on this album did not catch me instantly, but the more I listened to it I found I liked it.
There is not as much Latin influence on this album as there was on "Enrique", apart from a little tingle of Latin base on "Not In Love", but there are some great Pop and Rock songs on this album. It is more similar to "Escape" then anything else he has done. Enrique seemed to be trying to move away from Latino sounding music on this album, and concentrate souly on Pop and Rock music. The type of music on this album really shows the type of singers he looks up to i.e. Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, The Police... ect. The album does have an 80's feel to it somewhat, especially on tracks such as "Be Yourself" and "Break Me, Shake Me". All the tracks are easy and enjoyable to listen to.
The fast moving, base sounding "Not In Love" is definetly one of the funnest songs on the album to listen to. The album version is exactly the same as the single except it does not feature Kelis. If "Not In Love" is the type of song you like then there are even better sounding songs on the album, so don't settle for the single. Buy this album, because you'll love it. This has also been the edgiest pop song Enrique had done before and sounds great.
"The Way You Touch Me" is a great pop song and sounds even a little country in places. This one should definitly get you up and dancing, and is a great second track for the album. It is also fast paced like the previous track. A good smooth Enrique song, similar to any track on Escape. It could have easily been a single.
"Say It" is one of the albums ballads and is very sweet. It is a slow song and Enrique's vocals sound good on it. It is fairly similar to Escape's "Hero" in ways. It is about a girl that Enrique upset, but wants to know if she still wants him. This song is a classic Enrique Iglesias song, and really starts to get good somewhere in the middle. Overall this is a pretty good song and easy to listen to, because it has a nice melody and vocals to it.
"California Callin'" is one of the albums good tracks, and has a good guitar rhythm in it. Enrique explains that he is on the road and is driving past the woman he loves and wonders if he should pass her or turn around and head towards her. This is a really smooth rock track by Enrique and you will find "Seven" is the album that showcases some of Iglesias's best Rock songs.
"Addicted" was the albums first single and provided it with a #1. I did not find this song one of the best on the album, and enjoyed others more, but it is a good track by Enrique. Many people would call this one of Enrique's classic songs, but it sounded pretty ordinary to me. Not a bad track though. Worth a listen.
"Break Me, Shake Me" was a cool track on the album and turned out to be one of my favourites. It is a really fun song and even though the title sounds a bit funny it sounds great. I think this is a classic song by Enrique and one of his best. It is extremely catchy and makes you imagine you are on a beach in California watching the sun set. It is a fast paced pop song and it is a safe bet that many people would enjoy it. The guitars in this track sound great. This could have been one of the albums singles.
"Free" is a pretty good song and fits in well with the album. This song is just a fun song to listen to. I was surprised how many of these songs seemed like they could have been from Escape.
There is a good guitar bit in the song, and as a result it is one of the albums catchiest songs.
"Be Yourself" is another favourite off the album, and is an amazing pop/rock track. It is definetley one of the albums highlights. It has a very true message to it, but at the same time is not about being taken seriously at all. Great chorus to this song and the verses are good to. One of Enrique's best songs. It is a shame "Seven" wasnt promoted more, because it could have had plenty of singles and this song could have easily been one. The song basically talks about Enrique trying to persue his dreams of stardom, and his parents attitudes towards that, especially his father Julio, but the main message of the song is that he stuck to his dreams and made them a reality.
"Wish You Were Here ( With Me )" is another ballad from the album and is a good track. It talks about a lost love, and Enrique realising his mistakes, but finds it is sometimes to late to get these people that you love back. This track is a little bit upsetting, but a solid track for the album. I notice how Enrique does quite a few songs about love lost i.e. "Be With You", "Maybe" and some of the other tracks on Seven. This song does have a nice latin sounding instrumantal part in it.
"You Rock Me" is similar to "Free" because it is a fun pop song and that is all. It has a tinge of rock to it, and is quite catchy. It's a pretty solid track.(None of them are un-solid) and fits in well with this album. It isn't as great as some of the other tracks on the album though, but none of the tracks are worth skipping over.
"Roamer" is a great song on the album, and is one of my favourites. This could have easily been a hit for Enrique.
This is one of the albums best points and captured me the first time I heard it. It is a love ballad and seems to shimmy and sparkle. This song is one of the best put together songs on the album and makes Seven a must own for Enrique fans.
"Live It Up Tonight" is an O.K. track, but nothing special.
It talks about forgetting all your worries and just having a good time. It is quite a catchy song and a good way to end a great album.
Album Highlights are the following tracks, and get 5/5 ratings from me.
Roamer.
Be Yourself.
Break Me, Shake Me.
Not In Love.
Say It.
The Way You Touch Me.
Callifornia Callin'.
Wish You Were Here With Me.
I am probably not giving this album a 5 star review because it did not catch my attention right away like his previous two english records, but is a MUST for any Enrique Iglesias fan and they should not be without it. I strongly urge you to buy yourself a copy, because it makes for an enlightening and joyful listen. Great album !!!

The rock music in his CD is just fantastic but he should stick to singing in spanish. You could barely understand what he's saying but The Way You Touch Me and Not In Love are cool and it shows another side of Enrique. I never thought he could be like that. Free shows that other side of him, overall the CD was awsome.

I used to think that he would be singing pop ballads. But I mis-interpreted what he was. Particular the songs on this album are more of an 80's rock vibes that hit everywhere like skittles back in those heydays. Anyway I think loads of people apreciated his efforts on this album a lot. I saw with the sales of this album. The album is also on a heavy emotional delivery side. Mamking this album one of his most emotional albums to date on English. Well done Enrique!

This album will definitely make you feel like you are walking in the streets of a Spain. It has the Spanish flavor that will touch your heart. Quizas is also a wondeful song because it is very personal, you almost feel like your reading Enrique's diary. Other great songs on the album are Marta and La chica de Ayer. Although Enrique has great English albums, there nothing like when he sings in Spanish. You won't regret this buy!

I love this cd! The best song on this cd is Pienso en ti. I love it!!

I am one of Enrique's most loyal, if not the most, loyal fan. I enjoy all of his music, the good and the bad. But "Quizas" is a pleasure trove from beginning to end. From "Tres Palabras" to "No Apagues la Luz", this CD rocks! Enrique wears his heart on his sleeve on every track, even the uptempo ones. I enjoy listening to all different styles of singing, and in spanish, it is generally Luis Miquel, Mark Anthony, and Enrique. And Enrique is my favorite because of his raw emotion. You can not, even if you are ice cold, listen to this CD and not be moved! It is riddled with emotion. Enrique himself says that the CD is his best work to date on the enclosed DVD, and it is very true. The DVD is a compilation of his music videos (spanish) with an interview with Enrique. The DVD is as beautiful as the CD. And the CD is as beautiful as Enrique himself (and that saying a lot!), inside and out. No matter what your culture(s) is/are, you will love this CD, get it today! Take my word for it; you won't regret it!

(...)i don't have nothing against Enrique, in fact i love his goods albums as "Cosas del Amor" "Escape" and "Seven" but...come on, this is maybe the worst cd i've ever heard and believe me, i hear a lot of music all day long.

i love all my baby enrique music

Enrique Iglesias's first album was recorded with Fonovisa Records in 1995. He went to Toronto, Canada to record it as he didn't want his famous father Julio to know he was seeking a career as a Recording Artist.
Because it's Enriques First C.D. his voice does not seem perfect, hes never been a great Vocalist, but I think this Album is one of his best. I'm surprised how much I overlooked it, preffering instead to listen to his English Records...But sometimes when I go back and listen to this Album I am captured by how many beautiful songs there are on here. It always lifts my mood, and cheers me up, to hear this Music, and see where Enrique bagan in his career...Even though i don't understand spanish. I Still enjoy listening to this C.D.
My Favourite songs are "Si Tu Te Vas", "Menunca Cruel", "No Lores Por Mi" "Falta Tanto Amor","Inalcanzable" "Por Amarte", and " Experience Religiosa".
Fans Of Enrique's English language Albums like "Escape" and "Insomniac" shouldn't hesitate to listen to his older Spanish work. They won't be dissapointed. All in all A Great C.D.

I have had this album for years on cassette and have been looking for the cd for quite some time...amazon is the only place I have found it...I love this album and have been going crazy since my cassette got ruined a few months ago and I haven't found the cd in any stores (including local mexican stores) or on ebay or anything.

I prefer his spanish ballads over english dance songs but still this album leaves me empty. Nothing moves me.

This CD is worth every penny. Enrique is great, the CD is more of a ballad CD which is fine by me! I really enjoy it and recommend it. Its defintely not a waste!

I bought this years ago, played it to death, and lovingly placed it on the shelf. Just listened to it after a long time and realized how fresh and romantic it still is. Every track is a gem, and I almost hate to admit his subsequent CD's aren't as satisfying. Nevertheless, this CD, as power-ballad-packed as it is, puts Enrique head and shoulders above fluff like Ricky Martin.

Enrique Iglesias with this cd"cosas del amor"has a 5 star in the way to sing every track.His voice is very touching.all songs are beautiful."Sirena" and "Nunca te olvidare"are my favorite tracks

This cd has all good songs with good lyrics and soulful music. There's really not a bad song here just a cd full of hits, so i can't really pick a favorite. Probably the most monotonous song would be #8 Para de Jugar because it only has two small pharagraphs and the chourus is just repeated over and over again. The singles chosen out of this cd really stand out from the rest, but the title theme, #2 Cosas del Amor, is also a good song. He really starts to prove what he can do with his voice, especially in #6 Alguien Como Tu, where he holds a note out for a while. This is probably his cd where he shows that he's maturing in his lyrics and music. The success from this great cd prepares him for his crossover to the English market.

First off I like to say that I have known Enrique Iglesias since his first cd and own almost all of them expect Quizas {2002}which I have not bought to this day. But I will be adding it to my E.I. cllection and his remixes (1998) Enrique Iglesias's father Juilo Iglesias is a well known repescted singer who has been singing since the 70's and now his son to this day is a well respected singer like his father whos been singing since the middle 90's. This cd is not the original cd that I owned before. That one got badly sctrached that I had not choice to throw it away and get a new copy. I have a reprint copy which was reprinted in 2002 but thats okay I am just glad to have this wonderful cd from E.I. again which I think has so far been his best work with some of the nicest song like Esperanza and Para De Jugar which are 2 of my faves. I don't speak a lot spanish but I do understand it. But you don't have to speak spanish or just speak a lttle bit but just understand it so you can understand the betaiful words that Enrique puts into the betaiful songs of his cds.. Thank You other Enrique Fans.

Enrique is the king of writing highly emotional songs and this cd proves it. almost all of the songs are very romantic like 'sirena', and 'contigo' and 'nunca te olvidare' although some are of heartbreak, they are so well written and sung. 'ruleta rusa' has a cool beat to it, different, spices up the cd a bit. and 'dicen por ahi' makes you feel soo bad for talking bad about someone. imagine if you talked bad about an ex beau and he found out...how would you feel?? this is his best cd by far, there are soo many great songs and lyrics. It's what Enrique's music is all about...emociones puras y profundas.

When Enrique released his first cd back in 1995, I found it terrible, well actually the music and the lyrics were good but his voice back then was horrible. But in 1997 when his second one came out I found it better.
So in 1999 after listening to hits like "Esperanza" (Hope) and "Cosas del amor" (Love's things). I bought this tittle and I liked very much. The first song "Nunca te olvidare" (I'll never forget you) is a very good love song such as "Dice por ahi" (They say there around), "Contigo" (With you) or "Alguien como tu" (someone like you).
I also like Enrique's happier songs like "Para de jugar" (Stop playing) and one of my favorites, "Ruleta rusa" (I don't know how is the name of this game in English, I'm just gonna tell you how this game is. Is a round board with several colors and each one has an award or you can lose becuase you have to make it spin and when it stops you know if you lose or win something).
Returning to the cd, it's very good, I highly recommend it.
