Album Mi Sangre by Juanes Review
Mi Sangre is the awaited follow-up to the hugely successful Un Día Normal, the multi-Latin Grammy-winning and best-selling Latin album of 2003, which made him a star. Although Juanes has a different background than many Latin stars, now it's hard to tell the difference between him and the rest. His music and words sound more conventional than ever. Like Un Día Normal's lyrics, Mi Sangre's ones are hopeful, romantic, and hackneyed. Many love songs ("Amame", "Para Tu Amor", "Nada Valgo sin Tu Amor") and a couple of naïve looks over reality ("Qué Pasa?" and "Sueños"). Musically, this album is rawer than its predecessor. Somehow it's also less catchy. It was also produced by Gustavo Santaolalla. Although not a bad album for Latin pop standards, it's not particularly engaging or creative.Review by allmusic.com
