Planeta Paulina
Paulina Rubio's transformation into a full-fledged dance diva is  complete with this slick collection of electro-tinged club thumpers produced by the singer and Marco Flores (Thalia,Timbiriche). Tracks such as "Miel y Sal," "Miedo," and "Siempre Tuya Desde la Raiz" are irresistible calls to the dance floor, but Rubio pads the album with moments of unexpected depth. She penned many of its most serious moments, including "Enamorada," a heartbreaking tale of a woman who learns the man she is in love with is gay; and "Una Historia Mas," a pensive, veiled reference to AIDS. For the most part, though,Planeta Paulinasoars on an infectious energy that should send listeners into glitterball heaven.--Joey Guerra
