"This phenomenal Brazillian singer (who is the lead singer of Sopra Catarira) has done extremely well for his first Spanish, as well as, solo album. I typically don't buy Latin Cd's without a strong knowledge of the singer and the music, but at a listening station at a local record store, I was so wowed with the music on the cd and its versatility, that I bought it. Now it is one of my favorite cd's. I then took it upon myself to learn more about him, and discovered his discography with Sopra and more. His current smash-hit single is "Usted se Me Llevo La Vida", but you ain't heard nothin' yet til you get to Track 4 "Demasiado Fuerte". This smooth salsa track makes you long to hit the dance floor. This is a must for your Latin Music Collection. If the CD had a few more uptempo songs, it would definitely get that 5th star. I am looking forward to future works from Alexandre, but until then, I suggest you start off now and BUY this CD!!! :) Plus Amazon has it cheaper than what I paid for at the record store (I paid $18)."

He sounds better in portuguese!

"Alexandre Pires has a nice voice, and the songs are marvelous, but I must say that he sounds better when he sings in his mother tongue - Brazilian Portuguese. When he sings in Spanish, his voice is somewhat muffled and he cannot express himself dramatically enough.Therefore, I think it is better to buy the original version of this album, the one in Portuguese. It is entitled - E POR AMOR and you can buy it here at amazon.com."

My new favorite Latin crooner!

"There are a handful of Latin crooners that I listen to at the moment -- Alejandro Fernandez, Chayanne, Luis Miguel, Christian Castro -- and Alexandre Pires is the new addition to my CD player. Alexandre has one of the most beautiful and soulful voices I have ever heard! "Usted Se Me Llevo La Vida" takes my breath away every time I listen to it, and the other ballads in his self-titled CD -- "Si Tu Me Amaras," "Necesidad," "Abandono" -- are like a slice of heaven. Talented Latin artists are scarce these days, and Alexandre Pires is one of the Latin Pop survivors!"
