Review
Emmanuel delivers a compelling showcase of mature artistry with "Quisiera," his tenth studio effort that perfectly captures the essence of late '80s Latin pop sophistication. This CBS Records release spans 46 minutes across ten carefully crafted tracks, each one demonstrating why Emmanuel remained such a dominant force in romantic Latin music during this era. The album strikes an impressive balance between heartfelt ballads and more energetic pop numbers, creating a listening experience that feels both cohesive and dynamic.
What makes "Quisiera" particularly noteworthy is how Emmanuel's smooth vocal delivery seamlessly navigates between tender romantic moments and more upbeat arrangements, all wrapped in the polished production style that defined the period. The melodic richness throughout these ten songs showcases an artist fully in command of his craft, delivering accessible pop sensibilities without sacrificing emotional authenticity. It's a testament to Emmanuel's ability to evolve his sound while staying true to the romantic themes that made him a household name, resulting in an album that stands as both a solid entry point for new listeners and a satisfying addition for longtime fans. - Danielle
