Synopsis

Amazon.com
The well of undiscovered material never seems to dry up, even nine years after the death of Tejano queen Selena. Momentos Intimos features the usual hodge-podge of English and Spanish hits ("Amor Prohibido," "Dreaming of You," "No Me Queda Mas"), but it is notable for two newly orchestrated tracks and an unreleased demo recording. Lilting string arrangements and lush horns accentuate "Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti" and "No Llores Mas Corazon," which were obviously recorded early in Selena's career. Still, her mature and nuanced interpretation on both tracks is an unexpected delight. It is "Puede Ser," however, that will attract the most listener interest. The pop-rock tune was reportedly recorded days before Selena's death in her home studio. Even in this unrehearsed demo, Selena's soulful delivery seems effortless and serves as another reminder of her natural talent. With a slightly sharper musical arrangement, "Puede Ser" could have become Selena's latest chart-topper. The album also features spoken liner notes by Selena's family--a bittersweet collection of memories and humorous moments. --Joey Guerra
 

CD Reviews

Help! Another Greatest Hits Collection
Aislinn09 | Omaha, Ne United States | 08/28/2004
(1 out of 5 stars)

"This CD typifies the releases EMI has been subjecting us Selena fans to the past few years. Load a CD with Selena's greatest hits, one unreleased track and maybe a remix or two. I had twelve Selena CDs when I bought this one, and I wish I could have taken this one back as soon as I heard the alleged "new" stuff. I did not like this Selena CD at all. I already have three Greatest Hits compilations, I didn't need a another new one. I myself could have made a better Selena CD than EMI has just released to the unsuspecting public, nine years after her death.



It seems that EMI and the Quintanillas are still trying to profit from Selena's popularity long after they have run out of unreleased material.



If you already have "Ones," "All My Hits Vol. 1," and "All My Hits Vol. 2," don't buy this CD; you will be wasting your money. The "new" tracks are just not worth the money that you will be paying for it."
More of the Selena we've all come to love

"EMI Latin's uncovered Selena's last recording that she made days before her tragic murder on March 31, 1995. The song, a duet called "Puede Ser," is definitely hit-material and Selena portrays so much soul in her vocal interpretation of ths pop/rock/Latin tune. Momentos Intimos is definitely intimate, personal and very, very Selena."
An amazing and never before heard album

"This album is all we have left of Selena. The album contains 2 re-recorded songs, 1 never-before-heard song that she recorded in 1995 before the tragedy. And greatest hits. This CD is a great part for a collector. This is for a Selena fan who had been liking Selena for a while. Otherwise I suggest other albums like "Dreaming Of You", "Amor Phrohibido", or "Entra A Mi Mundo". I highly recommend "Anthology" it has many great Selena hits. ..."
