专辑介绍

by Jose F. Promis

Ricky Martin's Spanish-language 1998 set Vuelve is the predecessor to the self-titled English-language album that would propel him to iconic status in the U.S. the following year. Vuelve, however, is much more of a Latin album than a pop album, and effectively balances red-hot Latin dance numbers with melodramatic ballads. The album's main highlight is the unforgettable, unstoppable &La Copa de la Vida,& which is the song he chose for his now legendary show-stopping Grammy performance. The version on Vuelve is the original -- miles better than the English-language, remixed version which resurfaced on Ricky Martin. The version here includes all the bells, whistles, horns, trumpets, and percussion that anyone could want from such a carnival-esque song. Other highlights include the intoxicating album opener &Por Arriba, por Abajo,& the hit &La Bomba,& and other fast-paced gems, such as &Marcia Baila& and &Lola Lola.& Some of the ballads lean toward the forgettable (especially during the album's second half), and his version of Michael Bolton's Hercules theme &Go the Distance& (here titled &No Importa la Distancia&) is pure schmaltz. Other ballads, however, fare a little better, such as the melodramatic yet effective &Corazonado,& the brooding piano and string ballad &Hagamos el Amor,& and the Sting-esque &Casi un Bolero.& All in all, this engaging and beautifully produced album, despite a few lulls, emerges a winner.
