Editorial Review:
In the middle of the techno revolution, it was a bit of a risky move for Gloria Estefan to release Gloria!, an album of pure, unadulterated disco that sounds as if it could have been recorded two decades earlier. The risk paid off, though, because the album turned out to be one of her best--a nonstop dance party that keeps cooking through beat-heavy thumpers such as "Heaven's What I Feel," "Oye," and "I Just Wanna Be Happy"--the latter two bring in some of the Latin elements of her Miami Sound Machine days. Two concessions to current music trends include a duet with Wyclef Jean on "Don't Release Me" and the politically charged lyrics of "Cuba Libre" that cause you to think while you dance. --Daniel Durchholz

Rating: - Her Rhythm's Gonna Get You...

After nine years, it's STILL the soundtrack to my summers. There are few artists who could meld disco, salsa, ... Read More

One wonders how a project like this gets started.
Were Gloria and Emilio lounging around the fireplace one night when ...
Gloria: ¿Amor?
Emilio: Yes, mi Gloria?
Gloria: I've been thinking. I think we need to do a dance album.
Emilio: Hmm ... We've never done anything like that, mi vida.
Gloria: I know. But I think I have a dance album in me.
Emilio: I see, mi estrella. Let me make some phone calls.

Rating: - Gloria Returns to the Dancefloor...with winning results!
After spending most of the 1990's refining the art of the adult contemporary ballad & returning to her Cuban music roots; Gloria came home to the dancefloor in June of 1998. "Gloria!" made good on the promise of prior dance nuggets like "Everlasting Love", "Turn the Beat Around", & "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)".
The record is solid & flows as a cohesive unit due in part to Gloria's veteran production crew. Kike Santander, Lawrence Dermer, Pablo Flores, & Gloria's own husband/manager, ... Read More
