Gloria Trevi - Una Rosa Blu

Gloria Trevi the phenomenon has been going strong for years now, she has been at the center of all sorts of comments as well as commentary, and the truth is that Gloria Trevi keeps on being a success in the Latin recording industry. With Gloria Trevi’s new Studio album, La Rosa Blu the saga continues. Once again, Gloria proves her extraordinary talent for writing and for singing and presents us with incredibly original songs, each and every one of them bearing Gloria Trevi’s unmistakable seal. Psicofonia is the first single, a song that will remain indelibly in everybody’s mind alter the first listening. Psicofonia, La Rosa Blu and Gloria Trevi are three elements that we need to keep track of, we are sure that all of them will generate much controversy in an extraordinary album. Album Description

Una Rosa Blu

Una Rosa Blu is an incredible musical experience. From the first song, "Psicofonia", to the last, "Lo Que Te Toca", the album does not fail to deliver. Various musical elements and flavors make up the album. Stand out tracks from the album are "Dona Pudor", "Cinco Minutos", "Pruebamelo". Incredible and worthy of a purchase. November 2, 2008

BEST ALBUM!!!

The songs of this cd are more mature.

1.-"psicofonia" this song is about the love between a crazy woman and a ghost.

2.- "una rosa blu" (a blue rose)is like a poem, comparing a woman with a flower (beautiful).

3.-"inmaculada"(immaculate) this song was composed for the thousand of women who die in ciudad juares.

4.- "lo que te toca" (what you get) this song is about the problems of the life.

5.- "cinco minutos" (5 minutes)this song is about a man who leave his girlfriend for another woman but one day return for her forgiveness.

this cd have 12 tracks. but this 4 are my favorites.

The phenomenom keeps on going!

I have been reading some of the reviews people have written about "Una Rosa Blue", and most of them seem like my own experience. When I first heard "Psicofonia" on the radio I was not impressed, but still bought the album, because I am a hardcore Trevi fan. The song started growing on me. At first, I did not like the album. After listening the album for a several months, I have ended up liking most of the tracks, and the following are my favorites

Cinco minutos - Best song

El favor de la soledad - Nice song, not sure if it will suceed commercially

La calle de la amargura - Upbeat song, nice listening

Pruebamelo - This songs has the Trevi seal. It is a mix of the old and the new

The other ones are nice too, but I think those are the best. I really like Gloria venturing into dance music. The lyrics of "Dona Pudor" are not the most inspiring, but it is a great dance track like :Todos me miran" "Inmaculada" and "La vida se va" sound very different to her previous music, and I think she needs to work a little on those styles. While "Psicofonia" and "Lo que una chica es capaz" are ok songs. My least favorite songs of the album are "La rosa blu", the song does not flow very pleasantly sometimes and "Lo qure te toca" could have been a good track, but it sounds like not much effort was put on it, and it reminds me of church music.

In summary, I think "Una rosa blu" was one step up from "Como nace el Universo" and I hope it brings many hits to Gloria. February 25, 2008

Great Album!

Great album! I was a bit skeptical due to the fact that it wasn't getting many good reviews and how Gloria had moved away from her usual style. I first bought it and nothing really caught my attention so it ended up on my shelf collecting dust... after a month or so I decided to give it another try and I haven't been able to put it down since.
Gloria's voice is as strong as ever and even though these tracks aren't typical of Gloria it doesn't mean that it's necessarily a bad thing. Pruebamelo, Dona Pudor, Lo Que Te Toca, and the Psicofonia remix are great upbeat tracks.
I highly recommend it to anyone... current fan or not.

Some great songs!! it s like a blender of styles.?

When I bought this "Rosa Blu" I fell in love with "psicofonia",After that,I was confuse with to many styles in the album and still confuse .
I think "Psicofonia" is poetry.I would have prefered this song more "sinfonica".but stil a very good piece .overall, is a very good cd. Cd cover is weird,but very nice.
I was thinking this album was a thematic album,with very dark themes,rock gothic metal sounds, but not.

Songs I consider are good:

*Psicofonia.- nice lyrics and music.
*Pruebamelo.- very Gloria Trevi song.
*Inmaculada.-this song is awesome,it has a nice metal rock arrangements.( I beleive is for her lost Daughter),
*El favor de la soledad.-another great ballad,but the begining of the songs is very similar to "the way of love" by Cher.
*Calle de la amargura. it has a style like" El ultimo adios" by Paulina Rubio,mariachi-pop. but still in my playlist.(this song would have been better with mariachi only.
*Psicofonia remix.- very good mix!!!! still with the essence of the original.
*Doña pudor.-another very Gloria's style song.this song is more dance and it fit gloria's voice.

Song that I consider not my favorites.

*la vida se va.- "Santana style".not Gloria herself.(besides,Paulina has one very similar too!! ," mirame a los ojos ")
*La rosa blu.- this song is very complicated.le puso mucha crema a los tacos.
*Lo que una chica por amor es capaz.-sound like my favorite group from my childhood "Enrique y Ana" very late 70's ,early's 80's.
*Cinco minutos.-the music is to simple.the lyrics are good.

Unfortunately, it lacks of a defining line in style.
No tiene un stilo definido ni una total escencia.. October 15, 2007
