traditionalist in the mould of his dad. On Escape, even his up-tempo, lust-driven tunes such as "Love 4 Fun" and "One Night Stand" are hardly the frantic sweat-fest...

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 down, Escapar, No Apagues La Luz, Heroe and Hero (MetroMix). 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 ...
Advantages: A good Album, many enjoyable tracks, good VFM Disadvantages: A different sound to previous albums
EnriqueIglesias released his new album, Escape, earlier this year. It?s a good album, but be warned, its not like his previous albums, with their Spanish sounds. Enrique is a fan of rock which is reflected in this album. This album has more of a guitar sound to it. But of course, it wouldn?t be Enrique without a good ballad, which is why the single ?Hero? is at home on the album.
So, let me take you through 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 ...
Advantages: Brilliant combination of tunes, from up-beat to ballads. Disadvantages: None at all.
When I bought this album I wouldn't really have called myself an EnriqueIglesias fan. 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 it's really holiday-esque, and typically spanish with the spanish guitar and some spanish lyrics. So after hearing this and his massive hit "Hero" which was released a few years later I thought I'd give this album a try.
I used to listen to it when I first had it, and then recently got it out again, and it has been in my CD player ever since. By re-listening to it, I realised just what a great album it is, so thought I'd let you know all about it ...

Recorded at The Hit Factory Criteria, Circle House, South Point, Miami, Florida; The Record Plant, Los Angeles, California; Angel Studios, London, England. Though Latino superstar Enrique Inglesias is the son of the celebrated Spanish romantic singer Julio Iglesias, his roots as displayed here are set firmly in '80s pop. From the big-beat chorus of "Escape," through the ersatz-tribal chorus and fuzz guitar of "Don't Turn off the Lights," to the pulsating throb of "Maybe," ESCAPE is an '80s lovefest set to a millennial beat. When he's not busy paying homage to the decade of big hair, however, Iglesias displays his mastery of the family specialty, the love ballad, in such cuts as "Hero," where the trademark hereditary Iglesias vocal shimmer is very much in evidence, and the Latin-tinged "I Will Survive," which combines the aforementioned balladic style with some quintessential Eurodisco flourishes. With a trio of Spanish-language remixes rounding off the album, ESCAPE consolidates Enrique Iglesias's already considerable reputation as international balladeer and pop performer par excellence.
