Enrique Iglesias

Another awesome album - feels likes Christmas to get new songs. There are two new songs (to me) and one song that Enrique sang at World Cup.
Its really great album - greatest hits gives you much more than you really expected in terms of the tracks he selected - all english tracks.

This album is seductive and compelling!! Filled with passion and beautiful songs that touch the heart...

This is the best CD to buy if you want to have his greatest hits.

First I must say that I am a huge Enrique Fan!! IF you love Enrique and all his hits then you will love this CD!!! I love all these songs on this cd!!! I especially love that Enrique added his new song "AWAY" to his greatest hits!! I love the song "AWAy" because the song is sad, anyone who has had a man or woman break up with you listen to this song and you will understand the song "AWAY". The play list includes : Bailamos, AWAy, Hero, Be with you, Taking back my love(featuring Ciara), Rhythm Divine, Do you know?, Tired of being sorry, Escape, Could I have this Kiss forever(featuring Whitney Houston), Not in Love( featuring Kelis), Don't Turn off the Lights, LOve to see you cry, Maybe, Addicted, Somebody's me, Can you hear me.

One more thing : Go out and by this CD!! YOu will love it!!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. What can I say? It is a great collection of Enrique's hits. We love it.

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.

I bought this album by chance, and I must say that it was much better than I had expected. Different, enjoyable, I think anyone that is an Enrique fan or maybe not will really enjoy this CD. It has been a long time since I've like all the songs on a CD, at this one has done just that, I love all the songs, really great!

This is Enrique Iglesias at his best. The mix of this CD is fantastic. In one song he mixes his style with hip-hop, and is amazing. The first 2 songs were uncomfortably sensual for me, but having said that, they are my favorites. I can't explain it. He just sings so well that you lose yourself in the music and your imagination.

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 totaly am satisfied with this c"d its awesome and thank you guys for the quick delivery

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.

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...

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!

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.
