Pro Reviews: Valio La Pena
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews If there's anything made clear by the growing number of albums by Latin artists that are conceived with mainstream Englishspeaking audiences in mind, it's that something essential gets lost in translation. There's no doubt that the reigning king of Nuyoriquen salsa, Marc Anthony, has the musical chops and vocal talent to churn out hits regardless of genre but it's also true that not all of his efforts merit the same consideration. In English, as on Mended in 2002, Anthony's lyrics sound schlocky and overwrought, sort of like Air Supply tunes early favorites of the young New Yorker turned up to 11. Or, sung in Spanish in mainstream romantic ballad style, as on Amar Sin Mentiras, they embody the suffering of a Latin lover trapped in a geek's body. You'd feel a little sorry for the guy if you didn't know that he was nonetheless managing to tap into a whole new pool of swooning fans. Fortunately, every so often Anthony decides to stop fooling around and records an album showcasing his genius in its natural habitat. Valió la Pena, named Best Salsa Album of 2005 at the Latin Grammys, is one such album. Featuring the same set as on Amar Sin Mentiras, only put to salsa like the good señor intended it to be, Valió la Pena was produced by keyboard player and sometime vocalist Sergio George, last heard behind other topshelf Marc Anthony records like Todo a Su Tiempo. With the screaming hot brass and relentlessly sexy percussion to match the lovecrazed lyrics, and the lovecrazed lyrics to match Anthony's screaming hot vocals and relentlessly sexy improvisation, Valió la Pena captures the drama and excitement palpable in New York's best salsa clubs. It's not the perfect dance album there are a few too many rhythm breaks and sudden changes of dynamics for that but it is guaranteed to get hasta el geek más lamentable del mundo in the mood. And isn't it time you got in touch with your inner Latin lover? - Jenny Gage, All Music Guide |
