Amazon.com 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 Product description Presidents Of The Usa ~ Gloria Review Estefan's latest effort is virtually a nonstop dance party, awash in the sort of percolating Latin rhythms that distinguished her earliest (and arguably best) hit singles, spiced with crisp, elegant production that nods to the latest trends in house music and hip-hop. -- Los Angeles Times Not since 1987 has Cuba's crossover queen made an album so unrelenting in its fusion of disco with salsa.... [T]racks like "Lucky Girl" and the ominously undulating "Cuba Libre" reach for the skies like a missile-crisis fiesta thrown by Donna Summer. -- Entertainment Weekly On the spirited and notably youthful gloria! ... [Gloria Estefan] dons the persona of saucy disco vamp--a role that's clearly designed to rattle a few complacent consumer cages.... The ultimate beauty of gloria! is that Estefan never retreats to comfortable territory.... [S]he seems to be having so much fun here that it may be a while before we see another incarnation of this ever mobile pop chameleon. -- Vibe [Estefan] turns the beat around to her mid-'80s Miami Sound Machine days with this collection of lusty, Cuban-flavored disco and dance-party tunes. Sounding giddy over love and the libido, Estefan [is] helped here by big, big production numbers complete with strings, horns and a hallelujah chorus. -- People
