Ok, her new album came out this last Tuesday and of course I bought it the first day out even though the first single did nothing for me. I've heard the album already maybe 4 times. It has a lot of famous great latin musicians so the instrumentation is really good. I do like some songs more than others. I have already maybe 3 favorites. I still skip No Llores. It's a nice album with latin/cuban sound (not modern commercial sound, but more traditional like Mi Tierra) with a good mix of slow and uptempo songs. So far, in my opinion it doesn't even get close to the classic masterpiece Mi Tierra. We'll see... I'm sure it'll grow more on me and I'll end up liking it more, but it is not Mi Tierra FOR SURE. You can have all this awesome instrumentation and Gloria's voice, but the songs as a whole lack the magic of the Mi Tierra songs. They're not bad songs. I'm just comparing them with previous work. Have you bought it? What do you think?

The next single according to Gloria is "Me Odio" all over the world, except Spain. In Spain the next single will be "Bésame"

I'm liking the CD more with each time I listen to it. Thanks for the info on the next singles. They're not going yet for the real party songs. Well, they're not extremely slow ballads either.

"90 Millas" is ok, but it appears that the featured artist dominates the song and Gloria is the guest artist. I found that weird. This is nowhere in the league of my favorite song by her: "no me dejes de querer".

Everytime I go to the Starbucks close to school, they are playing this album nonstop! It's pretty good. There is one song that has a great cha-cha-cha beat to it, but I'm not sure what it's called. Did Estefan sign a deal with Starbucks because they sure are pimpin' the hell out of it!
