He continues to refine his popcraft on 2005's DESDE SIEMPRE, delivering a sharply produced album brimming with big hooks, sexy singing, and slick, 1980s-influenced instrumentation. "Fuiste Un Trozo De Hielo En La Escarcha" features a funky, snaking bass line that sounds as if it was lifted straight from INXS's LISTEN LIKE THIEVES. On "Cuidarte El Alma," Chayanne adds a bit of grit to his voice, belting it out like a Latino Bryan Adams at his heart-on-the-sleeve best. "Un Siglo Sin Ti" is as catchy a tune as they come, matching a crooning verse with a sing-along chorus. A fine example of state-of-the-art Puerto Rican pop with a sexy edge, DESDE SIEMPRE offers up the goods for both the ears and the fluttering heart.

This album has all the sweetest songs of Chayanne and they all made me cry. It is the first time that someone's voice squeezed my heart so much. Of course the songs are great, but having him singing to them make every song so special, so tender, and moving. You feel his love toward his work through his voice. This album will be the greatest company for you and your love ones, or just for yourself.

I just wanted to make a simple correction, other than to say that Chayanne has had me with those moves since forever, but his voice and his style is unsurpassable. The correction is this: Chayanne was never a Menudo. He was with Los Chicos, which was another Puerto Rican boy group that was out in PR at the same time that Menudo was. AND, that was Ricky Martin who was a Menudo. Other than that, great singer, great albums!
