I was pretty shocked to find myself enjoying this album as much as i did. Paulina's previous albums were pretty good and still are. The problem with that is that it's hard to top your previous albums. This one definitively has at the very least matched the greatness of the previous ones. I though for sure this one would have to grow on me but I liked all the songs from the beginning.
The downside is a major one for me: It only has 10 original tracks! Ugh! I'm so tired of artists doing this crap only to release a "deluxe" version a couple months later for a double dip. In a way, its better to only put 10 songs without fillers than a 14 track album with ones you skip over. Anyway, i won't rate it lower based on the amount of tracks but anyone who knows about the industry a little, may want to hold onto their money for 3-4 months for a very likely deluxe version to come.
Anyway, fantastic album with lots of colors and flavors for any pop listener.

Paulina Rubio está de regreso con "Brava!" y haciendo lo que mejor hace - llevar a cabo sin pretensiones, dulce-como-caramelo pop.
Su primer esfuerzo bilingüe desde el año 2002 la "Border Girl", el álbum contiene nueve canciones co-escritas por Rubio, que le da una ventaja de más personal que su trabajo habitual. Sin duda, es un esfuerzo más fuerte que el 2009 "Gran City Pop", que tenía un número de destacados, pero en última instancia, carecía de la alegría despreocupada de su título implica.
A pesar de meditar Rubio sobre los temas del álbum, no hay ningún mensaje en general que impregna el rango más bien esquizofrénica de la materia. Lo que importa es la calidad real de las canciones, y crecen con cada escucha.
Hiperactivo "Me Gustas Tanto", con su estribillo pegadizo novillos y juegos de palabras, es una de las tres pistas - los otros son...Read more

Paulina Rubio va de mal en peor con "Brava",

El disco mas mediocre de Paulina Rubio. Perdida de tiempo y de dinero. Poca originalidad. Canciones vacías, sin sentido. Sonido reciclado de sus anteriores discos. Paulina Rubio ya no tiene nada mas que ofrecer en la musica. No recomendado.
