Search - India :: Sola

It doesn't compare to her previous two albums

"It doesn't have as much soul as the other two albums but at least it doesn't have too many drum machine parts either. Her voice is still great and it doesn't go for the high notes as much. The disc contains nine songs: 6 salsa songs, 2 remakes of popular songs by Cuban singer La Lupe(which are the two best songs on the disc), and a ballad version of the title track. The salsa songs (arrangements) sound weak and watered down, even the background vocals get annoying; Johnny Rivera, Huey Dunbar, and George Lamond were three of the backgound vocalists in the other albums and that formula shouldn't of changed. But she is still the best female salsa singer to date."

India is all that. You can see she has grown and I love it.

"I love the new India cd. With her powerful voice and great lyrics. She seems to have a more mature outlook and with her hint of bolero in their it was great. India es la princesa de salsa. Keep making the hits India"

Viva La India!

"The "Princess of Salsa" returns with her best work to date. All songs on the album were wonderful, but I was very happy to hear her cover two classics La Lupe, the legendary Cuban chanteuse that captivated Latin music in the 1950's and 1960s. Thos two songs, "Que Te Pedi," and "Si Vuelves Tu," are excellent covers and India does justice in honoring Lupe's vocal style. The title track "Sola," has already become a popular club track in New York and Miami, and the salsa and ballad versions are wonderful to hear. Truly India is a diva! With the recent rise of Latin music in the United States, India (who has done songs in English, especially a song for the "Last Days of Disco" soundtrack) will become a star in her own manner. Buy this awesome album!"
