Belinda Album: “Utopia”
 Description :
Personnel include: Belinda (vocals); Greg Wells (guitar, drums, programming); Jimmy Harry (guitar, programming); John Allen (drums).
<p>After her self-titled debut was an international hit at the raw age of 14, Spanish-born Mexican actress Belinda Schull followed two years later with another--a slightly more mature and nuanced record. While the lyrics are sung alternately in English and Spanish, as with its predecessor, the music on UTOPIA is more reminiscent of the alternative-tinged pop of Gwen Stefani or Avril Lavigne. A high point is the disco-flecked dance pop of the sassy-intellectual "Ni Freud Ni Tu Mama."

- GREAT CD!!!!!!
Although I dont like Belinda, I really like her music. This cd is AWSOME!!! I really like her first album but this one is more mature and way better. There is no doubt that she has an aswome voice! and she proofs it in this cd. one of her best songs, in my opinion, is NI FREUD NI TU MAMA, LUZ SIN GRAVEDAD, SEE A LITTLE LIGHT, and my favorite, PUDO SER TAN FACIL!
I recommend everyone to buy this album, you won't be disappointed!!!

i think this is her overall GREATEST album. The first was very good but UTOPIA tops it! *proof that's she's growing up into her music.
"Way to go BELINDA!! FELICIDADES mi niña ahi la llevas, tremendo trabajo!"

- A surprise for your expectations and worth buying
I first saw/heard Belinda on Christmas Day 2006 with her singing "Ni Freud Ni Tu Mama" on TV. I didn't know who she was, but a couple weeks later I heard the song again and when I found out who it was, I decided to buy the cd with the expectation that only that song would be worth listening to. I'm happy to say that there are a lot of really good songs on the cd, none quite as driven as "Ni Freud" but still likable anyway. The overall mix of sounds that she sings on her album are eclectic, but they don't define her style or sound definitively, and with the exception of "Ni Freud" none of them make her stand out as an artist in any particular genre, probably because this is the trend for many "crossover debuts" of artists in the Latin music community (spanish and english songs) almost as if they are trying to cater to too many listeners.
Even still, this album for the most part is a solid production, good listening to and it was worth my money even as a non-latino. Check it out!
- Good not great
I really was excited for this album and I was a little disappointed to say that her debut album was so much better than this. I cannot believe this took her so long to release. I really loved the first album because the music was a mix of pop,rock and dance.
This second album has some songs similar to the first album except now she has som R&B and Reggaetton songs which are TERRIBLE!!! I mean come on who is she kidding? This album is NOT more mature. I am sorry to say her debut album sounded more mature than the second. Utopia is good not great lets hope she REALLY TRULY matures for her third attempt because she has a gorgeous voice which should not be wasted on RIDICULOUS R&B Reggaeton songs.
