After three increasingly successful albums of lightly R&B-influenced Spanish-language pop, Puerto Rican crooner-heartthrob Luis Fonsi tried his hand at U.S.
stardom by creating a dance/hip-hop persona for FIGHT THE FEELING.
His fifth record, ABRAZAR LA VIDA, finds Fonsi not only returning to singing in Spanish, but to his familiar musical background-the ultra-catchy romantic pop that initially launched him into the public eye.
Fonsi's pop is more a throwback to the blue-eyed soul-pop of the late-1980s-think George Michael at his most sincere-with lush production and heartfelt, emotive vocals wholly confident in their ability to caress a lover's soul.
