Gloria Estefan Album: “The Best Of Gloria Estefan”

If you are a dance diva fan, and u still dont have this one u have no idea what r u missing, i have always been a fan from Gloria but defenetily this is really the most different album from all others, this one could've been a new Cher record, but hey is Gloria!.

This is a Non Stop album, so it makes u think that this Gem will never end. The best track here has to be

'Don't let this moment end' the Type-of-Disco Video makes it different from her others (The big, big hair is the best)

The Cover of the US version was supposed to be the cover from the int'l version but someone made a mistake and switch them.

Gloria works with Wyclef Jean (Fugees), a rare collaboration.

so if you want to dance, this is your Gloria! .

This cd is full of energy and gloria uses her voice to the full. My favorite is oye & cubre libre. It also has some special remixes which are a treat, don't stop Gloria!

After a somewhat disapointing album with 1996's DESTINY, Gloria Estefan returned in 1998 with a new energy on this album GLORIA! The album weighs heavily on disco influences, giving the album a fresh vibe overall. The first single "Heaven's What I Feel" is the perfect way to open this album, very upbeat and inspiring, definite standout track. "Don't Stop" starts out like a fresh breeze then kicks into gear! In fact on GLORIA! there is hardly any ballads to be found, its just a fun album. "Oye" weighs heavily on spanish influences, creating a great salsa type track. "Real Woman" is a fun song with great vocals. One of my favorites is "Feelin'", great old school vibe on this one, very discoish, really feel good song. "Don't Release Me" features Wyclef Jean, it had to grow on me but its not bad, not a favorite though. "Don't Let This Moment End" is a great dance song, shame it didn't do as good as it should have, its a great piece of dance material. "Touched By An Angel", "Lucky Girl" and "I Just Wanna Be Happy" are all great as well. "Cuba Libre" pays homage to her heritage and where she's from. As a bonus, there are 5 alternate versions, mostly remixes. Overall GLORIA! is a great album full of pep and energy, and fun to listen to, one of her more interesting albums to listen to.

GLORIA,AGAIN ANOTHER HIT ALBUM BY THE GREAT GLORIA ESTEFAN..THIS CD IS FULL ENERGY & DANCING TUNES..DON'T LET THIS MOMENT END--HEAVEN'S WHAT I FEEL--LUCKY GIRL--AND THE SALSA-SOUNDS OF "OYE"--MAKE THIS CD A MUST IN YOUR COLLECTION! GLORIA--WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU--YOU'RE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF EXCELLENCE TO ALL CULTURES..SPANISH/DANCE/BALLADS/SALSA,YOU CAN DO IT ALL!

It amazes me that more people have not heard this album or gave it a try! WHAT A GREAT COLLECTION! The most amazing part aside from Gloria's wonderful voice and the fantastic music is that she actually takes us back to the disco day's with her own songs, no re-makes here folks all original. "Heavens What I Feel" was her solo on the first DIVA'S LIVE special and it doesn't stop there, some major highlights to listen for are "Don't Let This Moment End", "Don't Stop" and "Touched By An Angel". The whole album is a feel-good ride across the dance floor with just enough spicing to update it to the 90's. If you are a fan of dance music or certainly a fan of Gloria's, THIS IS A MUST! INFECTIOUS!
