Mi Reflejo is Christina Aguilera's First Latin album which is packed full of hits! I decided to get this album as I've already got the other two and thought it would be fun to get an album in a different language.

And it is! This album has many different tracks that I would like to hear in English, as they are very good. This album also has all her hits, "Genie in a Bottle" now named "Genie Atrapado" which opens the album nicely. 8/10

The next track, Falsas Experanzas, is a great new track with a great Spanish feel with a brill chorus with harmonies and maracas and trumpets, a truly great dance track. 10/10

The next track is called El Beso Del Final is a nice softer song which adds a contrast and a Spanish acoustic guitar accompanies this song and is a very emotional filled song with good singing from Christina and also has harmonies which would be a great duet. 8.5/10

Pero Mi Acuerdo De Ti is the next track and is my favourite song! I just love this song and although in a different language, you will eventually pick up the lyrics. A very soft song with guitar again. This song shows Christina's vocal range well and great love song if ever I heard one! 10/10

Ven conmigo (Solemente Tu) is the Spanish/Latin version of her hit Come One Over and strangely enough I prefer this version! 8/10

Si No Te Hubiera Conocido, is another nice ballad which is very relaxing and is also sung as a duet (male/female) and is a great love song 8/10

Contigo En La Distancia, another romantic song sounds reminiscent of the beginnings of When I Fall In Love. Christina sings well at the end with true emotion. 7/10

Cuando No Es Contigo has a soft beat with a bit of high hat added in the background and is truly spicy maraca song. When the backing singers join in, it adds more volume and makes it sound fuller. 8/10

Por Sempre Tu, is I Turn To You, Christina's great ballad which also sounds great in a better language. 9/10

Una Mujer, What a girl wants is also better in Spanish in my view although the language is different, the expression and emotion is better. 8.5/10

The last song, Mi Reflejo meaning Reflection, is also on Christina's debut English album and is taken from Disney's Mulan soundtrack. This is the best Spanish version of one of Christina's Hits in my view full of emotion. 9.5/10

This album has a mood for every occasion and I'd really recommend it! It is only currently only available as an Import which means its a bit more expensive (try Amazon.co.uk), but its worth the money. The lyrics although a different language are easy enough to learn but you can get the lyrics off the net if you are really stuck.

Have fun listening to this inspirational album. Is there nothing Christina can't do? I think not!

Forgot to mention, this also includes an enhanced CD extra! Which is always a bonus!

PS Look out for the other two ops on her remaining albums!
