"I got really hooked on Latin Pop artists like Olga Tanon, La India and Marc Anthony. Desperate to discover some more artists in this genre, I gave this CD by Elvis Crespo a try and I'm really glad I did because it is great. Like Olga Tanon, Crespo is known as a merengue artist, but while Tanon has expanded her range to include pop, Crespo sticks mainly to merengue, although other Amazon reviewers have pointed out that it's really more of a merengue/dance hybrid. I should add here that La India and Marc Anthony are famous for salsa, which is slightly slower and has a different rhythm from merengue. Anyhoo, back to Crespo, some people find his weird throaty/nasal voice annoying, but I find that it has real charm and works really well for the songs that he performs, most of which are self-penned on this album. The album has nice hip/hop-urban flourishes which keep it relevant for today's pop market, but never betrays the merengue influence that guides most of the album. Some tracks like "Con El Tiempo Y Un Ganchito" will no doubt leave listeners unable to avoid turning up the volume, it is so catchy and fun. And, really, that's the way the whole album is. I find I can listen to it over and over again, and it's been several weeks since I first picked it up. I can't recommend it enough for those who are interested in Latin Pop."
