Guide Review - CD Review: Victor Manuelle - Decision Unanime
Decision Unanime (Unanimous Decision) is Manuelle's 10th album, and it's his best. Somewhat of a departure from his past work, it features polished orchestration, but never becomes slick. Featuring reggaeton's Don Omar and Hector El Father, the album turns them into salseros rather than forcing Manuelle into the standard reggaeton mold. The album's one ballad, "Nuestro Amor Se Ha Vuelto Ayer" with guest Yuridia is lovely and a respite from non-stop salsa heat.
If you're in doubt, listen to "Cenizas" or "Hazme Sentir", both of which start out at a slow simmer and boil their way to major salsa heat (Too bad the clips are short). Always danceable, always engaging, you're going to dance to this album for years to come.
