Suena La Alhambra - Enrique Morente

Advantages: enrique!
Disadvantages: some of the track sound a bit samey

...spoken than sung though more streetwise than other track with a some what cocky sounding Enrique telling you “you know your gonna get some” tuttut!. Also Enrique uses the timeless phrase she be the bomb, which personally I cant stand, so as you may have guessed this is not my favourite of tracks. ~~Perfect use of song: a great getting ready for a big night out song, one to really put you in the party mood. ~~ ~~ IF THE WORLD CRASHES DOWN~~ An Enrique at his most well known, a romantic, cant imagine my life without you type song. Though not a very good plea as it’s a bit over the top and makes you want to shut him up. Great choir like backing vocals though redeem him making this a bearable tune. ~~ESCAPAR~~ ~~NO ASAGUES LA LUZ ~~ ~~ HEROE~~ Spanish versions of escape don’t turn out the lights and hero, the Spanish makes them seem even...

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 track... Read review

Advantages: A good Album, many enjoyable tracks, good VFM
Disadvantages: A different sound to previous albums

...be a good ‘clothes shop’ track. Its ok, but best for in the background. Escapar (escape) 3:28 No Apagues La Luz (don’t turn off the lights) 3:48 Heroe (Hero) 4:24 Spanish versions of the earlier tracks. These are good in there own right. Enrique sounds brilliant in his native language, as well as English. Thumbs up :>) HERO – metro mix 4:19 A remix of Hero. Jazzes it up a bit. The good thing with this is that it allows you to listen to a brilliant song without it being too slow or depressing. Phew, that was a long sentence. So, I’d give this album 8/10 if you’re an Enrique fan or are after something summery. Even if you hate Enrique, I’m sure you’ll appreciate some of the tracks on the album. ‘Escape’ with ‘Hero’ Enrique, he’d ‘Love To see you cry’ but make sure you ‘Don’t Turn Off The Lights’ Thanks for reading, CookieCrumbs...
