CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com By all indications, Ricky Martin's Unplugged opus should be an easy, effortless sell. The charismatic singer is in fine vocal form, backed by a tight band. He makes some interesting set list selections ("Gracias Por Pensar En Mi," "Asignatura Pendiente"). But Martin is also coming off 2005's commercially disappointing Life, which didn't even reach gold status (sales of 500,000 copies). That's a long way down from his Loca peak. It gives Unplugged, then, the whiff of an artist grasping for old glories. Martin was wise to include standouts "Perdido Sin Ti" and "Vuelve," which still shimmer with a lush pop sheen. Both are from 1998's Vuelve disc, still Martin's strongest effort to date. But new tracks "Con Tu Nombre," "Tu Recuerdo," and "Pegate" come off like unremarkable rehashes of past hits. Instead of looking back, this talented singer should be searching for real ways to reinvent his sound and to make his music exciting again. --Joey Guerra Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Michelle J. from PITTSBURGH, PA Reviewed on 9/27/2012... Big Ricky Martin fan---I loved the intimate setting. The musicians and the singers were terrific and of course Ricky is a great performer. He showed that he has real talent and is not just a manufactured star. The arrangements were great and showed more authentic Latin flavor as opposed to the versions that had more of a pop sound in order to get radio airplay. The last song, Pegate is great, shows the African roots of Latin music. Vamos, Ricky! 0 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
CD ReviewsFantastic Fleseastorm | USA | 11/14/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I never listen to this kind of music. I don't listen to Spanish language music because I don't understand it. I don't listen to acoustic music because I find it boring. I don't listen to live music because it never sounds very good. This CD was way too good to let myself not love it because of my pre conceived ideas. The songs are great, the language is beautiful even if I don't understand it and Ricky has a great voice. I love Alicia Keys but this was much better than her unplugged album. I am looking forward to what he might come out with next time. the highlight tracks are Con tu nombre and Vuevle." Passion that transcends idioms! Hector J. Seda | Brooklyn, NY | 11/11/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD showcases Ricky's true voice, rhythm and creativity. Don't expect to hear catchy pop songs catering to the Anglo-Saxon wallet. But do expect to hear, and perhaps discover (if you know Ricky only from his "Living La Vida Loca" days, that is), the soulful voice of an artist on a real path back to his roots. And what a passionate journey that is! Listen closely to this CD, and you will learn why Spanish is one of the Romance Languages, whether you speak it or not."
