First CD from "the next Selena"

(4 out of 5 stars)
"A year after Selena's death, her father and manager, Abraham Quintanilla introduced a new potential star for the Tejano music world. Jennifer Pena is lead vocals to the band "jennifer y los jetz" (think Selena y los Dinos, though after 92'she became a solo artist). It's only inevitable that Jennifer should be compared to Selena, given the connections and similarities. The music is much like what you would find on any of Selena's albums, "ven a mi" is strangely reminicent of "bidi bidi bom bom", considering that they are two totally different songs. At 12 yrs though, this girl demonstrates vocals like no other, and great maturity for her age. "vete con ella", and "pura dulzura" are best examples of this. This album, despite the great vocals, isn't quite at the level of her peers, but in a few years Jennifer may possibly find the success that Selena had, and maybe would have had in the English market."
Very talented 12 yr. old.....
