Artist: Raul?n Rodr?guez
Album : Parece mentira (2008)
Commentary: by Lesley D
I did not know what to expect from this new release by Raul?n Rodr?guez. An artist who has a phenomenal repertoire and has maintained his tradition of producing quality bachata once again has surpassed the expectations of probably some of his most loyal fans. Waiting for a chance to listen to this album in order to really enjoy it, I was left puzzled. From the onset of the first song, each one just got better and better until song # 7, Solamente t? then he just went over the top. The man has outdone himself once again. There is not one bad song on this album and it would be hard to say which ones will be top hits. Every song on the album is wonderful and they are all bachata.
Thanks to artists like Raul?n R who now has a more innovative style than ever before which really began with his production Si no te tengo (2004) and continued on from there, he was always a distinguished bachatero not conforming to the negative stereotypes that have been associated with this genre for decades; his music and lyrics have always been a cut above the rest. His 2006 release A d?nde ir? sin ti was a giant production that IMO really set the tone for where he is heading in his career. His talent for music is natural, his love for the genre is paramount, and his bachata is incomparable. With this latest production which will be heard throughout 2009, Raul?n will remain among the elite few artists who has a tremendous repertoire of music of a genre that is authentically Dominican.
If you like Raul?n?s music and have followed his career, this album is another gem.
