Escape

I was never really that interested in Enrique Iglesias (though my aunt loves Julio, Enrique's father) until I bought it for less than a nickel (a music store was going out of business)! After about 3 weeks of not touching it, I finally decided to give it a try while cleaning up my room. I fell in love with the CD afterwards. Enrique is very talented and writes all his songs!! And I say this is the best CD because it's not like my other favorites where there are a lot of songs I like on the CD and then there are those that I don't. On this CD I don't have to skip tracks 'cause I love them all!!

1. Escape - 5/5 Extremely catchy! Very good song! Great song to start off with

2. Don't Turn Off the Lights - 4/5 Not as good as the first track

3. Love To See You Cry - 3.5/5 Lyrics sound creepy. OK

4. Hero - 5/5 Great song, very heartwarming. Hit single.

5. I Will Survive - 3/5 At first I thought it was Gloria Gaynor's song, but it's not. OK

6. Love 4 Fun - 4/5 Upbeat. Very good...Read more

Enrique returns with his sophmore effort ESCAPE. After a 2 year break and the muli-platinum sucess of his english debut album ENRIQUE, he kicks it up a notch. This album is awesome. It's upbeat, dancy vibe draws you in with one listen. ESCAPE is dance/pop bliss with touches of electronica. On the lyrics side of things, Enrique presents himself as the shy, submissive, and sometimes dominant singer that he is. On ESCAPE he likes lusty women that take control on songs like "one night stand", "she be the one." The slight S&M themed "love to see you cry" in which he states, "I don't know why/but I love to see you cry" and "the sweetest pleasure is pain". In "escape" he chants "you can run/you can hide/but you can't escape my love." Besides all of that playfulness, ESCAPE offers some tender moments as well. Tracks like the hit "hero" and "maybe" are beautifully done. Enrique has an intimate,...Read more

I'm really not an Enrique fan. I think that his voice is one of the weakest in the industry. But the songs he chooses to record for his CD's are first rate.
I was in Tower Records and they were blasting the track "One Night Stand" (produced by Metro, it could have been sung by anyone including Cher). And you know what? I felt compelled to purchase the CD. "Escape" is a solid offering. I'm afraid to say it, but it's one of the better things I've purchased in a while, and the songs are quite addictive. Enrique's vocals are all over the map (this can be good and bad). In the 80's throwback "Don't Turn Off The Lights" he manages to squeeze some frightening Mariah Carey notes in at the end. Where did this idea come from? Who cares....because it manages to effectively spice up the CD. I can't really find a bad song in the bunch. To be honest, I think "Hero" is the least exciting, least interesting song here. So if you actually like...Read more
