Enrique Iglesias - Enrique Iglesias

Light rock tunes and soft pop ballads marked Enrique Iglesias's 1995 debut, but what obviously propelled him to the top of the charts was his young good looks and his pedigree, son of perhaps the most famous troubadour in the music world--Julio Iglesias. "Trapecista" and "Experiencia Religiosa" were solid tunes with catchy hooks. And even on the simple tune "Por Amarte," one can detect Iglesias exploring wailful tones and learning the power of melodic phrasing. In "Si Tu Te Vas," he examines idealistic love, while "Inalcansable" captures youthful dreams. Those songs are the bright spots in an otherwise pedestrian pop-ballad CD. The fact that Iglesias scored five consecutive number one singles on Billboard from this CD may attest more to the power of the elder Iglesias's worldwide fans. --Ramiro Burr Amazon.com

Enrique's First Ever Album

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. January 18, 2008

Great CD

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! July 3, 2006

Beautiful

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. July 5, 2004
