Antony write you review please

ok!! here goes:

1. Que Hiciste: 10/10
One my my favourites on the album. This was an excellent choice as first single. I love Jen's attitude and fire in this song (and in the video!!). The music is awesome also (the album version is the best IMO). She shows great light and shade, transcending from soft vulnerability into full blown hurt and anger within a few seconds, and then back again. What an excellent way to open this album!

2. Me Haces Falta: 9/10
A great album, track. It's got a bit of an upbeat feel, and again that heartbreaking emotion from Jen. Her voice sounds somewhat different to usual/the rest ont he album on this song. It's a catchy tune. Not as a single, but an excellent album track. Marc does great on backup on this too.

3. Como Ama Una Mujer: 9/10
This will definately become one of Jen's signature ballads. This is THE big ballad of the album, the ultimate. You can hear the determination in her vocie as she signs this beautiful song, and her voice is SO powerful in the chorus! I would love to see her do this one LIVE! This song makes me feel so proud of Jen.

4. Te Voy A Querer: 10/10
This song needs to be a single! From the beautiful instrumental that opens the song, to the fast paced action packed chorus, to the entrancing verses, and then the breakdoen by Jen and the backup male singer (ie. Marc, lol)....this song screms HIT! It's definately a huge highlight of the album for me.

5. Porque Te Marchas: 8/10
Well well, this song sounds familiar dosent it? lol. So, finally, 2 years after the original song, we hear the Spanish version of Can't Believe This Is Me. The music is awesome as in the original, and in my opinion, Jennifer does equally well on both versions. She sounds different in this one, but no worse in the English version for me, becuase I love that one too. I love this song in both languages at the end of the day! Not a highlight, but a solid track.

6. Por Arriesgarnos: 8/10
The chorus, where Jen's and Marc's voices blend to form one equisite sound, makes my heart melt every time I hear it! The emotion and love in this song is so beautiful, and it is accompanied by a beautiful musical track too. Jennifer KILLS the verses in this, her voice is just so amazing. Jen and Marc haven't harmonised this beautifully before IMO. The recurring word for this song for me seems to be: beautiful.

7. Tu: 10/10
When i first heard this song, I was SPEECHLESS. I never cry (well, hardly ever anyway), but if i did i would have been balling my eyes out. The song isn't structured in a typical way, which I love. When she kicks into the chorus (and that smmoth "Tuuuuuuuu") and bridge (where she totally blows up!), it just gives me chills all over. The strings are amazing in this song too. The song is a vast as the ocean, and just purely STUNNING.

8. Amarte Es Todo: 7/10
While I'm not blown away by this song, it is definately a good, solid track. Jen sounds amazing on it, so powerful. The piano hook is lovely too.

9. Apresurate: 7/10
Another good album track. Nothing mindblowing again, but not a filler and not dissapointing by any means. She's very passionate in the chorus, and the pace is great.

10. Sola: 9/10
Another heartbreaking song pulled off without a hitch. You feel her pain in this one, her heartache, the emotion in her voice is chilling, as is the music and the song. The 2nd verse is chilling also, where she sings into a whisper...then silence....then the rest of the verse and a powerful chorus. This song stays in my head a lot, and the piano note and Jen's voice in this gives me shivers.

11. Adios: 8/10
Not what i expected form this song for some reason. I was taken by suprise at the "live" aspect of it, and it was done very well! It's a great way to end the album on a clear note, and even though i njever like hearing Jen say goodbye, I like the placing of it. If she toured with this album, im sure she'd do this one beautifully with audience assistance. Not my fave, but definately a nice way to conclude.

12. Porque La Vida Es Asi: 10/10
I wanted to add this song to the end of the album, becuase I wish it was the end of the album, and was included. This song, for me, is enough to bring a tear to my eye every time I hear it. This is one of Jennifer's best songs, EVER, since the first note she ever sang up until now. It is so bittersweet, so emotional, and so beautiful, and Jen absolutely BLOWS UP on the chorus. I actually felt tears welling in my eyes a few times when listening. This song is absolute perfection for me.

Overall:
I think the decision to make this album 11 tracks was GENIUS. Sometimes 11 tracks leaves me disspointed and wanting more (see: Rebirth, B'Day, This Is me....Then, Destiny Fulfilled, etc). But it works perfectly with this album. I don't feel unsatisfied or overloaded. Every track on this album plays it's role to a tee, and there are NO fillers. Also genius is the order of the songs. They all flow so well into each other that you really feel at the end that you've been on a journey that has a distict start, middle and finish, with no part of that journey being unforgettable.

Waiting 3 years for this album was worth it. You can feel the hard work that went into it, and how well it is pulled off. Jennifer sounds absolutely STUNNING on every song. Her voice was evolved so much since On The 6, I feel so proud listening to her strength, confidence, and that signature smoothness and vulnerability we all love. Marc kills it with backup, and they sound so well together. The production is flawless, the instruments are absolutely beautiful all together.

Maturity sums this album up. Jennifer persued her passion project, made it happen, worked her butt off on it, and grew up in the process. This is the next step as a musical artist that I have been waiting for. I'm completely and utterly proud of her, and I really really hope this album schieves the sales it deserves, and the accolades like Grammy's.

Highlights for me:

Que Hiciste
Porque La Vida Es Asi
Te Voy A Querer
