As one of the biggest selling pop artists in the world, Enrique Iglesias has made a name for himself by combining the sensual, overtly romantic crooning style of his legendary father with throbbing dance beats and distinctly 1980s hard rock-influenced production. With SEVEN, Iglesias delivers one of his most high-energy albums, distilling the sequencers, wall of guitars, tinkling wind chimes, and dramatic vocals into a cohesive and exhilarating whole.
The primary author of all of the disc's tracks, Enrique also proves that he is a top-notch pop songwriter, fully in control of his own musical vision. At times recalling everything from the Pet Shop Boys ("Be Yourself") to Ratt ("You Rock Me"), the singer is clearly a great lover of all things radio-ready, and borrows freely from his influences, while never resorting to simple mimicry. In the end, though, Iglesias knows it's his classic teen-idol voice that wins over his legion of fans, and on SEVEN his passionate interpretations are guaranteed to make his adoring admirers swoon.
Personnel includes: Enrique Iglesias (vocals); Tony Bruno, Dan Warner (acoustic & electric guitars); Adam Phillips, Charles Fearing, Alexander Ander (guitar); Fernando Garibay (guitar, keyboards, programming); David Siegel, Charlie Judge (keyboards); Rob Davis (bass, programming); John Reed (bass); Brian Rawling (drums); Paul Barry, Steve Lee, Sylvia Mason-James, Jason Paige (background vocals).
Producers: Mark Taylor, Enrique Iglesias, Alexander, Rob Davis, Steve Morales.

Not his best work I am a HUGE Enrique fan, but this is not my favorite ablum. I think he is extremely talented but he has got relly far way from where his music has frst come from. I love "Addicted", "adicto" and "Wish you were here with me", but thats all. I will continue to be a huge fan regardless but I was asked to judge the album not him! ENRIQUE I LOVE YOU REGARDLESS PAPI CHULO!!! Submitted by Missie3450 (alexandria, va) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

Much improvement definitely enrique's best. a one-up on escape (which also displayed a great feel). lovely sounds. listened to it on a plane and loved its electronic sounds and latin beats mixed with stronger vocals from the last album. Great to give to the one you love. Submitted by romantic (Encino, CA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
