Gloria Estefan: Music
built 236 days ago
"Pairing veteran diva Gloria Estefan with one of teenville's leading boy groups may not make instant sense on paper, but it proves to be a kinetic musical connection destined for immediate success. The title theme to Meryl Streep's forthcoming film (in which Estefan has a supporting role), "Music Of My Heart" has a warm familiarity that will draw kudos from a broad audience. Tunesmith Diane Warren has crafted one of her more memorable melodies, giving Estefan and 'N Sync lovely "Because You Loved Me" - type lyrics that are sentimental but never cloying. David Foster's R&B - tinged production is typically theatrical, though he wisely lets the chemistry between Estefan and 'N Sync shine with little interference. In all, a winning effort that should be pleasantly inescapable within seconds".

In addition to providing diehard fans with a nicely woven collection of Estefan's best-loved English-language hits from the past nine years, "Greatest Hits, Volume 2" ... effectively illuminates the most creatively plush period of the artist's career to date. It also leaves the listener appropriately enthusiastic about the next phase of Gloria's musical career, thanks to the inclusion of the three sterling new tunes: "You Can't Walk Away From Love," "Out Of Nowhere," and "I Got No Love." "These are songs that allow me to remain true to the sounds and musical concepts that I've developed over the last few years, while also experimenting with a lot of fresh, new ideas," she says.
