Synopsis

Amazon.com
Diehard salsa fans have grumbled about the artistic liberties taken by genre queen India on Soy Diferente, her first disc under the Univision label. Indeed, this is an adventurous, all-over-the-map outing, most notable for its incorporation of the red-hot reggaeton rhythms currently burning up radio playlists. Purists may scoff and call it a play for commercial viability, but Soy Diferente is still a strong showcase for India's emotive, urgent vocal work. She also co-wrote all of the album's tracks. Fans should also recall that India dabbled in jazz, hip-hop and English-language club music before--and after--hitting her stride as a salsa queen. The title track is featured in both a reggaeton version and as a "salsaton" shaker, which flows seamlessly between the two genres. "Cuando Hieres A Una Mujer" is a straight-ahead salsa track, buoyed by the appearance of reggaeton diva Ivy Queen. Salsa legend Tito Nieves offers tempting vocal licks during "No Es Lo Mismo;" and India's mother, Gloria Viera, pops up during the sweet-and-spicy "Madre e Hija aka Madre." And India is still at her sizzling best amid the blaring horns and sweltering percussion of salsa tracks "Un Amor Obsesivo," "Lagrimas" and "Tengo Que Dejarte Ir." Whatever the sound, India effortlessly proves that being Diferente is definitely a great thing. --Joey Guerra

Bien Diferente

"A la verdad que este cd me gusto de principio a fin. No se dejen llevar de los otros reviews, este cd vale la pena. Espere bastante para comprarlo al creerlo una porqueria, pero me equivoque. En este cd la mayoria de las canciones son en salsa incluyendo par de canciones en reggaeton. El reggaeton es lo que esta sonando so no me soprendio que ella incluyera par de canciones. Los productores son Isidro Infante, Sergio George y Emilio Estefan entre otros. Ustedes saben que las mejores canciones de la India han sido producido por Isidro Infante y Sir George. Un hit tras de otro. A la verdad que este me gusta mas que el disco anterior que tenia to ese chorro de baladas y que solo pego Seduceme que era la unica cancion que me gusto. Las canciones en reggaeton le quedaron bien, el beat y la melodia estan perfecto ni muy rapido o muy lento. Las canciones en salsa que se puede decir es La India, al principio estas suenan bien entonces poquito a poquito te dan con ganas de bailar cuando se acaba te quedas con las ganas de mas. Tambien tiene sus artistas invitados como Tito Nieves, Ivy Queen y Cheka ademas incluye un dueto con su madre. Canciones favoritas son: (Lagrimas, Un amor obsesivo, Soy diferente en las dos versiones salsaton y reggaeton, Solamente una noche en salsa y reggaeton y Bugarron que me da gana de reir.)"

"As a huge admire of India's work, I must say I feel this album. Although many critics might scoff and say it was a "nice attempt better luck next time", I will totally dissagree. I dont knw about many but I have witness India perform tracks of this album live at clubs and I feel them. I love drving down HOLLYWOOD BLVD and bombing this CD off the wall......I hope she might come out with a live CD so many witness the power and emotion India delivers on stage. * Solamente Una Noche, Una Amor Obsesivo, Lagrimas, y Tengo Que Dejarte Ir are beautiful......My still favorite album must still be SOLA....wow messages in every song!"
Why, India, Why????

"I'm a massive, huge, big-time India fan. I have every release and have witnessed her powerful live performances from NYC to Miami, but I must say that I'm not feeling this cd. It sounds a bit rushed and her vocals seem to be recorded diffrently than usual, not as strong. I love the title track as well as "Cuando Hieres A Una Mujer" and "No Es Lo Mismo". That's 3 good ones out of 11 songs. This from an artist that has released cd's that you can listen to from beginning to end. I don't even know what to say about "Madre E Hija aka MADRE", although I think the sentiment is sweet, it's comes across corny.



Now that we've lost Celia, I was hoping that she would raise the bar a bit and drop an unique, beautilfully produced cd. I figured she would snatch Salsa back from Reggaeton and create a classic in the vein of Ms. Cruz. I'm a bit dissapointed that she's still singing about lost love and scorned lovers. I thought after her great Sony release "Mi Alma y Mi Corazon" we'd get amazing material......and what happened with Sony anyway??? Now she's with Univision?!?!



India-I still admire you and I'll always support your work.....spoken like a true fan.
