Prince Royce is the Future of Bachata

"Every so often an artist or group comes along that redefines bachata. Monchy y Alexandra, Aventura, Xtreme, and now Prince Royce. While his debut album is only 10 tracks deep, it's amazing from start to finish.
Xtreme has more of an R&B edge to their music, whereas Royce adds some pop and R&B flavor both to his songs. This Bronx Dominicano writes all of his own lyrics, and the music production is as perfect as a plate of abuelita's mofongo. Even though his Spanglish cover of "Stand By Me" was the chart-topper, I think the rest of his tracks are even more amazing.
If songs like Hoja en Blanco moved you, Royce's "Mi Ultima Carta" will have the same impact. The standout track on the album for me is the love-is-blind themed "Corazon Sin Cara", a throwback to Anthony Santos singing Obsesion on the smash 2002 Aventura album. I also predict that Rechazame is destined to become a club favorite. If you dig songs like "Tempted to Touch" by Rupee, then the album's English tracks like "Crazy" will appeal to you.
It's almost impossible to listen to this CD without dancing. If you love bachata as much as I do, treat yourself today and buy this album."
Excellent Production

"This Cd is a definite must Buy. I recommend this Cd 100% definitely the best new bachata artist out right now. This cd is a must buy even if you dont speak spanish it even includes two english songs that are sure hits for this summer also on top of that it includes The Remake Of the Song we all know as "Stand By Me" in bachata which is currently topping the charts of the Tropical Billboards . Prince Royce is a very talented New Young Artist at only 20 years old he is making people all over who listen to his music get up and dance and sing along to his songs. This artist is definitely going to be a top artist in the Latin Industry in the upcoming years. So Take this Review to Heart and Purchase the Album it is sure to Please!!!"

"In retrospective, when i first read these reviews i thought it was a little far fetched to compare this new kid i never heard about to great groups like Aventura and Xtreme, which i'm a big fan of. With this name i thought was kind of corny. But i got the cd and for the past week that's all i've been listening to. The name had to grow on me more than his music did because as soon as i uploaded it to my ipod and listen to it, i was an instant fan. DON'T DELAY AND GET THIS!!!"
Excellent Prince ~ Royce

"When I heard Royce's cover of "Stand By Me" I was unsure of whether the other songs would be good or not since some artists can only make hits by covering famous hits from previous artists. However the songs on this album are very good actually. If you like Aventura's "gods project" and "the last" albums as well as Toby Love's debut album, you will like this one for sure. It has the modern bachata sound while still being different from that of aventura or toby love as it should since Royce wrote or co-wrote every song on the album.
Pretty much every song is radio friendly material and no song is filler/album material as it feels like listening to a hits album song after song. It is basically one of those albums where the songs dont grow on you because you actually like them from the instant you hear them and thats whats really nice about it. I highly recommend this album, its definitely worth getting if youre a fan of modern bachata."
