Review

“Cuts Both Ways” is where Gloria Estefan stepped into solo stardom, bringing that magnetic Miami Sound Machine energy while claiming her own spotlight. She dives headfirst into lush synth-pop and irresistible Latin grooves, showing her versatility with dance anthems like “Get on Your Feet” and the percussion-fueled “Oye Mi Canto.” When it’s time to slow things down, the album shifts gears with heartfelt ballads like “Don’t Wanna Lose You,” where her genuine emotion shines.

Throughout the album, Estefan rides a wave between heartbreak and boldness—the title track, for instance, has all the nostalgic, bittersweet vibes you could want from late-’80s pop. The mix is sleek and polished, but there’s still that vibrant warmth woven in from her Cuban influences. “Cuts Both Ways” effortlessly bridges genres, making it a defining pop moment that keeps Gloria’s identity front and center. This is late-’80s sophistication with a pulse you can dance to. - Piper
