... However after listening to what "Escape" has to offer, I was pleasently suprised and am now a huge fan Enrique fan.
The first song I heard of his was "Bailamos",which was released in 1999, and means "We dance" in English, and I absolutely loved it. It is still one of my favourite songs because ... Read review

traditionalist in the mould of his dad. OnEscape, even his up-tempo, lust-driven tunes such as "Love 4 Fun" and "One Night Stand" are hardly the frantic sweat-fests...
Advantages: Brilliant combination of tunes, from up-beat to ballads. Disadvantages: None at all.
...can hide but you can't escape my love". Run Anna, Run I think there's a stalker after you. Run back to Sweden, leaving Enrique behind! (Please)
2. Don't Turn Off The Lights
This is one of my favourite songs of the album. It's another up-tempo song , which begins slow but then a beat kicks in with a very catchy chorus. The electric guitar is used to full effects in this song, and includes Enrique singing Soprano-high vocals.
3. Love To See You ... ...the others. It's not quite as cruel as the title may seem. But suprisingly he "loves to see you cry" and he doesn't know why, but it "makes him feel alive". This was also released as a single and the video features Enrique wearing an unusual dressing gown/hoodie!
4.Hero
If you haven't heard this song, you must have been in mars for a few years. This was Enrique's biggest succes single, when it was released in 2001, in the UK, and is still a classic. ...

Advantages: enrique! Disadvantages: some of the track sound a bit samey
...more than his father was. Escape is Enrique’s second English speaking album released November 2001, and contains the top ten tracks “escape” and “hero”.
~~ESCAPE~~
Released may 2002 this track is an upbeat romantic track, in the video of which we see Enrique and Anna Kournikova trying to have sex in as many places as possible – an interesting concept! It is currently available as a single and is one of the livelier tracks on the album. A great ... ...~~ HEROE~~
Spanish versions of escape don’t turn out the lights and hero, the Spanish makes them seem even more romantic, there something about Spanish and Italian that makes us girls melt!
There is also a bonus track of a hero mix, just encase the two versions already aren’t enough!
This is a great album although some of the tracks are a bit samey Enrique’s Latin lover vocals seem to make up for that. The inlay has a variety of sultry pictures ...

...Mr. Iglesias latest offering
ESCAPE 3:28
“You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape my love”
A great pop song with a rocky feel and a good twangy electric guitar. This songs a winner as a single, as its catchy and enjoyable to sing along with. No boring bits in this song, and no cringe-worthy lyrics. A good chorus. There’s a few female vocals chucked in for variety.. Its no wonder this is the title track, although the album will be remembered ... ...extremely hard to want to escape his love!)
DON’T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS 3:47
Basically, this song is about not wanting to turn out the lights when you are involved in a certain physical activity…Again, a great song. The albums really getting off to a strong start. However, this song is a little weird. No, not because of the lyrics! But because of the chorus, ‘ee a ee a eeh’. It sounds a bit Nelly-esque, but with Enrique singing it it’s a bit, er, ...

Rock 'rique Review ofEscape - Enrique Iglesiasby
Katecgreen
Advantages: New sound to Enrique Disadvantages: Not what you know of him so far!
...is not spoiled.
1. Escape - A sing a long song which gradually introduces a beat to wiggle your backside too. 2. Don't Turn Off The Lights 3. Love To See You Cry 4. Hero - Soppy, romance, perfect for a quiet night in. 5. I Will Survive - Quite powerful as the title suggests, it promotes carryign on. Great song. 6. Love 4 Fun - I don't like this as it's not got a beat i can tap to. I can't seem to learn the words unfornately it's the only one i skip. ... ..."run, hide and they can't escape your love"
12.Don't Turn Off The Lights (Spanish)- As above 13.Hero (Spanish) -As above. My favourite spanish version though, very summer romancy. Sorry i haven't reviewed all of the above.
I hope i have added enough detail as this is my second post. Please contact me with suggestions. Thanks. ...

Advantages: Good variety of songs - both mushy and upbeat tempo Disadvantages: Nothing that I can think of
I've really only took an interest in Enrique's songs since he brought out 'Hero', I never really took to him when he first appeared on the scene. After bringing out the single 'Escape' I HAD to buy his album of the same name. It cost me only £11.97 on CD from ASDA and it contains 14 tracks which are; Escapte, don't turn off hte lights, Love to see you cry, Hero, I will survive, Love 4 fun, maybe, One night stand, She be the one, If the world crashes ... ...3 of these are in Spanish and 'Heroe' and 'Escapar' are two of the 3. The album also obviously contains the English versions of 'Hero' and 'Escape'. There is also the newly released track 'Love to see you cry' which, after hearing it on the radio as well somehow makes you enjoy it more. It also contains a really good track called 'Don't turn off the lights' which is very addictive to listen to. There is a very good mixture of slushy and upbeat tempo ...
