Gloria Estefan has re-signed with Sony Music and will release her next album "The Standards" in the fall.
Looks like there may be a big push to AC on this one.

So good to see Gloria coming back. I have always loved the way she wraps her voice around a classic, and I'm sure this will be no exception.

So good to see Gloria coming back. I have always loved the way she wraps her voice around a classic, and I'm sure this will be no exception. Me too!! I loved her Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me covers album from 1994. That was a great take on some recent and older classics in a tasteful, contemporary fashion. I particularly loved the deleted Flores remix of "Turn The Beat Around" and that Ballroom mix of "Cherchez La Femme." And she has covered a few Disco classics in the past. There was this medley she did with Tony Moran during the Gloria! era called the "70's Moment Medley". It was released on the "Don't Let This Moment End" CD maxi. The full thing is 16 minutes long. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL8Q52KLGDASequence: 1. I Thought It Took A Little Time (originally by Diana Ross) 2. If I Can't Have You (originally by Yvonne Eliman) 3. This Time Baby (originally by The O'Jays, made famous by Jackie Moore) 4. Don't Leave Me This Way (originally by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, made famous by Thelma Houston) 5. Never Can Say Goodbye (originally by The Jackson 5, made famous by Gloria Gaynor) 6. Don't Let This Moment End (originally by Gloria Estefan) And she covered Candi Staton's Disco classic "Young Hearts Run Free" for the Desperate Housewives soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoNYe0uZU78

Confirmed songs she has recorded (we'll see how many make the cut):
Smile Good Morning Heartache I've Grown Accustomed To His Face The Way You Look Tonight For All We Know They Can't Take That Away From Me Embraceable You How Long Has It Been Going On The Day You Say You Love Me What A Difference A Day Makes What A Wonderful World When I Fall in Love Young At Heart El Dia De Me Quieras

It was released on the "Don't Let This Moment End" CD maxi. The full thing is 16 minutes long. I absolutely adore that megamix. From start to finish, it's fantastic. My favorite section from it is the "Don't Leave Me This Way" part. Tony Moran did a bang up job. My favorite cover of hers is Carole King's "It's Too Late." Can't wait to hear her take on this next album of covers.

Oh, well. Was hoping for something a little close to HMTMKM.

That cover - 10000X than the AWFUL MH cover. It's too bad that the music does not appeal to me in the least. Was really hoping for V2 of HMTMKM.

She is on Oprah's Next Chapter on Sunday. I'd guess it'll be pretty good.
I love Miss Little Havana so much. There are so many great songs on that album. I am not excited for an album of standards. I like party Gloria.

She sounds nice and all, and it's pretty, but that kind of music probably won't get all that much play on AC- maybe back in the day, but not in this AC climate.

Gloria Estefan is about to get the honor of her life BY HOWARD COHEN AUGUST 03, 2017 11:00 AM
Miami is set to represent at Washington’s glittering 40th annual Kennedy Center Honors in December when singer-songwriter Gloria Estefan becomes the latest hometown icon to receive the prestigious award and the first Cuban-American to earn the distinction.
Estefan’s Kennedy Center Honors recognition, for lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts — be it in music, dance, theater, opera, motion pictures or television — is only the fourth for a Latina artist. Chita Rivera was the first in 2002, followed by Rita Moreno (2015) and Argentine pianist Martha Argerich (2016). Among men, Spanish opera star Plácido Domingo, in 2000, and Mexican-American rock guitarist Carlos Santana, in 2013, received the honor.
Estefan, 59, is the first of these women, or men, to base her entire career from Miami.
Estefan, the daughter of a Bay of Pigs veteran who served in Vietnam, has won seven Grammys, an Ellis Island Medal of Honor, a National Artistic Achievement Award from the U.S. Congress and, most recently in 2015, President Obama presented Estefan and her husband, Emilio, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.

Loved "On Your Feet!" Sorry that it's closing… it should've been a huge smash but a two-year run is respectable and the show will soon tour...
