Antologia - Madredeus

Advantages: some very good songs, excellent work for a debut.
Disadvantages: not mainstream so people will be very critical of it.

...there are 11 tracks as follows; 1. Estoy aqui 2. Antologia 3. Un poco de amor 4. Quiero 5. Te necesito 6. Te espero sentada 7. Pies decalzos, suenos blancos 8. Vuelve 9. Pienso en ti 10. Donde estas corazon 11. Se quiere, se mata -Estoy aqui was her major hit which propelled her to Latin fame. Its a very upbeat kind of track. -Antologia is aslow, mellow kind of out door track, siuted for a evening surrounded by friend after a party or something. Beautifully sung. -Un poco de amor. Reminds me of a pop/regga/caribbean kind of song. Very, 'all sing together song'. No bad, but definatly not the best song on the album. -Quiero. Starts off with an extended guitar strumming away and builds up with harmonica and then drums join in. Mellow, but with a uplifing beat. -Te necesito. The best song of the album. Reminds me of Tu off her Dondes... Read review

...I've only just gotten into Shakira's music because i bought 2 tickets to go see her in Spain next week with my sister who is dying to go. So before i go i thought i would do a bit of research and buy some of her old albums, so i can get to know the songs a bit better. Out of all her old albums i would say this is one of the best ones. Even though i don't speak spanish i can easily listen to the whole of this album and appreciate it for what it is. Estoy Aqui - Great way to open the album. A really happy upbeat track that can easily be sung a long to. Always put a smile on my face this track and lifts me up whenever i'm down. Antologia - A nice slow track but with a rythmic beat to it. Her voice sounds so emotional on this track which is great because you really feel the emotions she's going through. Un Poco de amor... Read review
