Enrique Iglesias - Escape - CD

AMAZON
If Ricky Martin is the party boy of Latin crossover pop, Enrique Iglesias is a romantic traditionalist in the mould of his dad. On Escape, even his up-tempo, lust-driven tunes such as "Love 4 Fun" and "One Night Stand" are hardly the frantic sweat-fests Martin provides. Escape, Iglesias' first disc since his 1999 Top 40 breakthrough, is already a guaranteed success thanks to its first single "Hero". Title aside, this gooey love song isn't really fitting for its adopted purpose as a post-terror anthem ("You can take my breath away"), but one imagines that won't make much difference. Iglesias is at his best when playing a little sly, like when he appropriates Nelly's "E.I." chant on "Don't Turn Off the Lights" or makes a barely veiled suggestion of what he really likes about you in the opening lines of "She Be the One." --Rickey Wright
