Not as good as his best album imo "camp" but still an incredibly mature sophisticated album which takes you on a journey. This one is more Soul focused.

Not what I expected going from the album cover. Don't understand Spanish but the coolness shines through. The main list should have included more albums like this as it feels like a genuine discovery listening rather than 5 from the same band. 3.1

The main issue with albums like this, is they're nice but boring. This is anything but, keeps my attention and plays with music styles and the lyrics lull you into nodding along before you realise what you're hearing. Very impressive, I liked it. 3.6

Knew the singles very well due to radio overplay in the 90s and as such thought of them as a singles band, this kept me rapt all the way through however with several clear stand outs, can easily see this album becoming standard rotation.
