Aries

Aries opens with “Suave,” a pure pop jam that has Luis Miguel singing feel-good lyrics over a funky bassline pulled higher by an ecstatic sax solo. It’s a fitting intro: This record, Miguel’s ninth, is one of his most irresistible, drenching his Latin pop in the joyous sounds of R&B. The crisp beats of “Luz Verde” bring new jack swing to Mexico, while “Pensar en Ti” and “Hasta El Fin” climax with Miguel howling over reverberating drums that would make Phil Collins proud.
