Synopsis

Amazon.com
Seduccionfinds Tejano princess Jennifer Peña fully embracing her potential and individuality as an artist. The album features an impressive mix of polished cumbias and dramatic ballads, anchored by Peña's maturing vocals and the slick work of producers Rudy Perez and Kike Santander. "Vivo y Muero en Tu Piel" is the type of glittering, emotive ballad that has become a trademark of Peña's repertoire. The song is also featured in a cumbia remix and in a re-recorded salsa version, which finds Peña spicing things up with a more spontaneous vocal delivery. Producer Santander melds tropical and cumbia rhythms on the fiery "Cumba IHO," one of the album's best tracks. Peña herself boasts production credits on "Ya Veras" and "Si Yo Me Vuelvo a Enamorar," a pair of straightforward cumbias that blend perfectly with the rest of the album. Curiously, the weakest moment is "Como Saber," Emilio Estefan Jr.'s only contribution to Seduccion. The vocals and verses are appropriately dramatic, but the chorus soon becomes repetitive, and the instrumentation sounds uneven and thin. It's a small misstep, however, in an otherwise vibrant collection of songs. Just wait until Peña starts recording in English.--Joey Guerra
 

CD Reviews

A great follow-up to 'Libre'
05/24/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"'Seducción' is certainly a great follow-up to an album as great as 'Libre'. Jennifer Peña's songs are all great even if Tejano is not your genre of choice. I'd even recommend the CD to folks that don't understand Spanish because Jennifer's voice is just that superb.My favorite tracks would have to be 'Vivo y muero en tu piel', 'Cumbia IHO', and 'Hasta el fin del mundo'. 'Vivo y muero en tu piel' is the first single from the CD and the CD contains three versions for you to be able to choose one to fit your taste. If you manage to get your hands on the CD single or promo itself, you can probably find another version of the song. 'Cumbia IHO' will have you dancing probably more than any track on 'Libre' or 'Seducción'. Finally, 'Hasta el fin del mundo', my personal favorite, is great in its ballad and cumbia forms. Jennifer's voice is absolutely superb in this song. As 'Hasta el fin del mundo' will likely be the second single, I look forward to hunting down a copy of the single which will undoubtedly have more versions of the song. Just because I name these songs as my favorites does not mean I dislike any of the tracks, mind you.If I had one gripe about the CD it is that the liner notes do not contain the lyrics. They contain plenty of great photographs of Jennifer, but written lyrics are a nice thing to have."
