"Along with her brand new album, Spanish solo diva Marta Sanchez stands up above the rest as the most colourful voice on stage. "Soy yo"(It's me) compiles a bunch of songs only to show off the many registers of her sensual voice giving way to ballads rather than disco hymns as track# 2 "Soy Yo" is,massive under Brian Rowling's direction. Brilliant!"

MARTA HAS PROVED TO BE ONE OF SPAIN'S BEST SINGERS

"My Wife and I are fans of Marta's songs long since her very first solo album "Mujer", and we've bought every single album she's released since...I even liked her singing back when she was the lead singer of the spanish group "Olé-Olé", scoring such hits as "Lilí Marlen" and the groovy "Bailando sin Salir de Casa".Since "Mujer", Marta has been in a constant process of evolution, turning into one the best female spanish interpreters, her voice becoming richer (even sometimes sounding like a female black singer), and her way of delivering a song, becoming increasingly more heart-felt with each passing year, in a sort of maturing process...especially in her ballads.What one regrets, is that sometimes the fact that she is such a sensual and attractive woman, comes in the way of some critics' comments, who tend to dismiss her long proved talent because of that aspect of her persona, rather than giving full attention to her great artistry. Fortunately, over the years, since "Mujer", this has changed.....Marta has come a long way overcoming the handicap every beautiful woman has to, when they're beautiful and talented....to demonstrate her worth....It has happened to many artists in may different areas of art: Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, et al. A woman's talent shouldn't be dismissed because of her looks, it's just unfair.This album is one of her best definitely, with such powerhouse ballads as "Sigo Intentando" (I Keep Trying), "Amor Cobarde" (Cowardly Love), "En Tus Brazos" (In Your Arms) and "No Te Quiero Más" (I Don't want You Anymore), most of them released as singles in Spain......plus the very danceable Title song "Soy Yo" (I Am) (also released as a single).....and the wondrous and powerful mid-tempo "Socorro" (SOS)(which deserves becoming the album's fifth single).This album is a winner, buy it!"
