Amor A La Mexicana
The transformation is complete onAmor a la Mexicana,  which stands as the defining album of Thalia's career. Every moment,  every sound, every call to attention feels electric, thanks to the  Mexican superstar's newfound vocal confidence and stellar work from the  first-rate production team, which includes Emilio Estefan Jr., Kike  Santander, and Pablo Flores. The sounds and styles are wildly diverse  (cumbia, salsa, cha-cha), but they're unified by themes of living life  to the fullest and Latina pride. Songs such as "Por Amor," "Echa  Pa'Lante," "Mujer Latina," and the sexy title track bristle with an  energy that permeates the entire album. Even slower moments such as  "Rosas" and "Es Tu Amor" demand attention. This album is a sure-fire  classic in the Latin-pop canon.--Joey Guerra
