"You'll never have to press "skip" to skip a song on this magnificent albulm full of beatiful lyrics and melodies rolled all into one. Each song tells a story. A story about lust,love, and everything in between. You can totally tell what this man is singing about, and about the undying love he has for his wife, the love of his life. Mr. Rosa is a talent. A talent that gets brushed away too easily by the world of typical listeners who want to listen to that packaged music that follows the same formula. He doesn't follow that crowd, and that is a rarity in this world. Especially, the world of music. The way the music speaks for itself, you know he is not doing this for the money. Money isn't what is on his mind, but the music he creates for the world and himself. His fans appreciate it. I have been a fan since the springtime of 2004 when I heard him perform his song, "Crash/Push" on Jay Leno. I knew who Robi Draco Rosa was for many years, since I am a fan of Ricky Martin's work as well. I may be only 18 years old, but I have this love for old school music. That's the vibe I get from listening to Mr. Rosa's work. All the songs are excellent, and I cannot honestly tell you my favourite song. However, one song means a lot to me. That is, "Mad Love"(track number 13). Just listening to this albulm, reminds me of love. For all of you, it will to. My advice to everyone, pick up this work of art. :)"
...that's forever...

"Picture a record that can pull your emotions and make them feel as real as the first time. Mad Love, Robi Draco Rosa's latest record, will do exactly that. From it's opening theme, "Dancing in the Rain" Draco evokes the power of first time love. Tracks range from the subtle lust of "Crash Push" to dramatic longing of "California Girl". Filled with Caribbean, Brazilian and Spanish sounds this record is a perfect mix of the Puerto Rican heritage. "Como me Acuerdo" and "Mas y mas" are the only Spanish songs in the record but fit in perfect harmony with the rest of Mad Love. With collaborations from artists around the world and special arrangement on "California Girl" by the legendary Van Dyke Parks; Mad Love will leave you in a whirlwind of emotions and memories you never forgot."
Brilliant!

"As always, Robi gives us a work of genius! It is extremely well done, the music quality and cleverness, the profound and intelligent lyrics...just perfect!!! If you liked Mad Love, I recommend you listen to "Vagabundo", it is just as clever...a bit darker and less polished...another masterpiece!"
Soothing to the soul

"Sure Mad LOve takes on a whole different costume than the past Draco albums, but in it like all others diversifies itself to a unique collaboration of sounds, and experimental beats.
One in paticular "My Eyes Adore You", just dictates how Draco has that hypnotic voice that sort of like a trance takes you there, wherever your euphoria might be...."

"Robi Rosa shows his versatility in the music he created in this new album called "Mad Love". It is ecclectic in its form but drives you more to listen not because it is different but by giving us the chance to understand the deeper feeling into his music. Plus with an added limited edition Dvd it is no doubt deserving 5 stars. I hope someday they would release Robi Rosa live performance on DVD because he Rockssssssssssssssssss !!!"
