Greatest Hits Vol. II

Amazon.co.uk Gloria Estefan's been doing Latin pop since Jennifer Lopez was in junior high, but she's progressed little, evidenced from the derivative dance and disco retreads on her Greatest Hits Vol. II. Apart from a few true gems such as "Reach" and "Heavens What I Feel", the album is a boring mix of covers ("Turn the Beat Around", "Everlasting Love") and original tracks that blend into one another, all Cuban rhythm and banal lost-love lyrics. Gloria has a one-of-a-kind voice and great style--she's a sure-fire talent, and in her native language, her music is still fabulous (check out Mi Tierra or Abriendo Puertas). But if you're looking for a real sampler of her greatest hits, the first volume, released in 1992, is still the way to go. --Courtney Kemp Product description International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.
