Atado a Tu Amor
This young, good-looking Puerto Rican heartthrob delivers more soft, romantic tunes that are easy to digest and sway to. CD opener "Dejaria Todo" gets you into the mood quickly with dreamy atmospherics and a mellow pace. Solid tunes include the title track and "Soy Como un Niño," songs infused with pure soft-rock spirit, sing-along vocal harmonies, and groove-heavy melodies. Chayanne's Hollywood debut, costarring in the movie musicalDance with Mewith actress-singer-former Miss America Vanessa Williams, earned him good exposure. OnAtado a Tu Amor, he and Williams duet on the R&B; tune "You Are Home," which is included here in a Spanish salsa version as "Refugio de Amor." But laidback ballads aren't the whole story, as Chayanne cuts loose on energetic dance tunes "Mira Ven Ven" and "Enamorado."--Ramiro Burr
