Music Review

Amor (1995)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Lead Performance: Jon Secada; Genre: World

An excursion into Spanish-language serenades that is all dark Mediterranean passion. Secada's baritone is orchestrated with flamenco guitars, jazz saxes, and a million strings. Amor is gorgeous in small doses, but the schmaltz drags it down.
