Enrique's bid to firmly place the son of Julio in the mainstream pop firmament leads off with mid-tempo dance-pop airwaves candidate "Rhythm Divine". The track is typical of the rest that follow: highly wrought emotion recalled in a bed of glossy production that uses Latin syncopation as a reminder of the singer's roots while resolutely aiming for chart supremacy next to the likes of Celine Dion. Filled with pop romanticism--a duet with Whitney Houston, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Sad Eyes" and proclamations on the order of "I've seen the sun make love to the sea"--Enrique is easy enough on the ears and sounds like a surefire hit. --Rickey Wright
