Jon should do more like this

"Jon Secada is a most beautiful and accomplished singer, ranking among the very best of Latin male vocalists. I have always felt that most of his music does not take much advantage of his magical singing voice. You will see why when you listen to Amor, a collection of beautiful love songs song with a degree of passion, and especially musicality that is breathtaking. Not only is Jon's singing exteremly sexy and passionate, but it clear that he is a highly trained musician who knows exactly what he is doing. (Indeed, he has an advanced degree in jazz singing).



While a singer like Alejandro Fernandez (my other favorite) may have a more naturally emotive voice, Jon's technical skills are truly amazing. This is most clear in "Dime Que Sientes", where he does his own background vocals and harmony.



Other songs espcially noteworthy include the gorgeous "Es Por Ti", and "Por Fin".



My only criticsm is that I could do without some of the heavy violin arrangements.

I wish Jon would do more albums like this that really show what he can do. Better yet would be a jazz album, as I understand that is really his background.



I love Mr. Secada as an artist and as a man: this is the album to have, especially if you are in love"

For true music lovers
