Any sort of familiarity with this album/artist, or are both entirely new to you? None whatsoever
Expectations (if any): I really don't know. I'm not a huge fan of salsa style music, but you never know...
Initial impression: Unsurprisingly, sounds initially like something out of one of those old Rock Hudson movies or something. The brass in the opener sounds just like the theme to the series Sapphire and Steel!
Favourite track(s): n/a
Least favourite track(s): n/a
Overall impression: Meh
Chances of listening to further material from this artist? Zero
Rating (not mandatory): I won't be cruel and give it a seriously low rating, in fact I won't rate it at all, cos I'm sure it's a great album, just not for me. I will vote “disliked”. Cos I did.
Comments: She undoubtedly has a great voice, and the band is excellent at what they do, but this is so far removed from what I normally listen to, it's hard for me even to make any meaningful comment on it. Yeah, sorry I just really have no interest in this. At all.
