Jaime Camil - Para Estar Contigo

Mexican crooner Jaime Camil has plenty of competition to wade through if he wants to make a real impact, but Para Estar Contigo seems a promising start. Camil is clearly being marketed as the latest Latino heartthrob via lush balladry and the various beefcake shots that decorate this CD's booklet. He has also no doubt studied the work of international idol Luis Miguel. Camil has a rich, deep voice that recalls Miguel's confident delivery throughout Para Estar Contigo. The handsome singer nicely wraps his swooping vocals around ballads such as "Nada es Igual Sin Ti" and "Nunca Dejarte Ir," which benefit from lush instrumentation. But whereas Miguel falters when he attempts to tackle upbeat numbers, Camil remains in control. He showcases a sexy swagger amid blaring horns, pulsing rhythms, and rousing choruses on "Fiesta de Amor," "Me Llego el Amor," and "Encadename." Camil may be another pretty face, but his voice should entice at least a few people to listen. --Joey Guerra Amazon.com

Para Estar Contigo

You Must Love This!

I came across this album through Amazon recommendation and never regretted purchasing it. While Jaime Camil's voice is not perfect, he was able to show his versatility in this album with a wide repertoire that includes ballads, pop and dance music. I am a non-Spanish speaker but came to love this album very much. At least 7 out of the 10 songs will appeal even to those who do not udnerstand Spanish (like me). Highly recommended and looking forward to his next work. July 22, 2001

What A Nice Surprise!

This is a wonderful album and I just happened to stumble upon it one day while looking through the Latin music section at my local music store. Anyhow, the boleros on this CD are to die for as well as the fast paced songs. I am more partial to Jaime's fast-paced songs, but they're all really great. Anyhow, if you're looking for a change, try this album! It'll be playing over & over in a CD player near you! February 17, 2001

A very beautiful voice from a very beautiful man.

Although it is Jaime's first album it appears as if his voice is much more mature. It has a lot of feeling and rythm. Nice presentation. His voice brings memories of older great singers. He definitely has a great future as a singer. January 28, 2001
