I bought this album, having not heard any previous music by Alejandro Sanz. Boy I am glad I did buy it! It is continuously played in my car and also in my computer music library. With Alejandro it's all about the passion he puts into the lyrics. He is an excellent songwriter. The songs on this CD are uplifting at times and slow and beautiful also. My favorite tracks include, "Eso", my absolute favorite about his heartwrenching plea for understanding of a love that once was, and also "Lo Dire Bajito" and "Al Olvido Invito Yo" both beautifully written. Every track stands out. Buy this CD and you won't regret it. The title makes sense because "It's not the same" as Alejandro's previous albums and that's what makes it so great. He can be so diverse in his music but still capture the true essence about why he is such a powerful musician/songwriter and a prominent figure in Latin music today.

And if you don't understand Spanish and don't have a friend who can translate for you, you're missing an entire half of this master composer. Si, a veces los arreglos suenan como los del CD "Mas", o otros discos, pero también aquí se ve un Alejandro Sanz mas feliz y honesto, un verdadero poeta experto. Although sometimes one wonders if he's trying to imitate someone else, or other unfamiliar sounds, he comes across as honest because he's unashamed about his Spanish sound and his voice, present in each song. Oh, and I'm sick of people saying he can't sing! His voice has character, you either like it or not, if you hate his voice go buy LuisMi concert tickets and CDs...Luisito and others (Ricky Iglesias) wish some of Alex's songs were for sale. Honey, this ain't on eBay ("mi voz no te la vendo", --#1) What it doesn't lack, though, is passion and genius. His phrasing,...Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By Roberto Velasquez (Barranquilla, Colombia) - See all my reviews This review is from: No Es Lo Mismo (Audio CD) Alejandro Sanz - No es lo mismo apuesta a una evolucion musical del cantautor, en cuanto a ritmos innovadores se feriere. El tema bandera y titulo del album es en realidad excelente, la percusion impecable y el arreglo vocal increible. Importancia tambien le doy a Regalame la silla donde te espere, tema de corte fresco y relajado, que en ocasiones hace recordar a Quisiera ser. En cuanto a baladas, Hoy llueve hoy duele, He sido tan feliz contigo son temas que Sanz ya nos tiene acostumbrados. Caso especial Labana y Try to save your song, temas que no son propios de su corte musical pero innovadores que apuestan a algo distinto del cantante en cuanto a ritmos.Me queda la duda del tema ultimo, Si he cantado mal... que querra decir? si no te gusto, de malas...? |
