Guide Review - CD Review: Marc Anthony - Sigo Siendo Yo
Sigo Siendo Yo (Still Being Me) as an all-Spanish compilation of songs from previous albums. It includes probably his biggest international hit, "Dimelo", along with "No Te Ames", a duet with wife Lopez, "Celos" from his all-salsa Libre and "Lamento Borincano" from the same album. Then there's "Ahora Quien" from Amar and "Valio La Pena" from the album by the same name. There's also "Tragedia", a Spanish language version of Mended's "Tragedy" that I've never heard before.
There are two new tracks on the album. The first track is "Lo Que No Di", an angst-ridden, so-so ballad. Much better is "Que Precio Tiene El Cielo" which starts off slowly and builds to a hot salsa - a form of song Anthony does better than anyone else.
If you're a huge Anthony fan (and I am), then you probably want this album in your collection. But if I were making myself a compilation album, I'd probably want to include some of his wonderful earlier works.
