Title: Lovely Spanish pop
Review: Alejandro Sanz is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Latin music. He is as much a poet and performance artist as he is a singer, and his dramatic style of singing is evident on this CD, "El Alma al Aire." The CD starts off with a more serious-sounding performance on "Cuando nadie me va," and then takes a more exuberant turn on the next song, "Hay un universo...." Most of the songs have a mellow quality, with an occasionally ethereal sound. The title song makes effective use of a female (or is it falsetto?) chorus and horn section. Overall, this is not Sanz's best CD; I think he has done stronger work on "Mas" and on "Alejandro Sanz 3." But "El Alma el Aire" is still a strong CD of Spanish-language pop music.
