Vulgar, conrdent, full of fun, this is the Cher album Cher never made-must be that Middle Eastern blood. Christian Middle East it may be (Cher's Armenian, Shakira Lebanese), but the stylistic appetite of this Colombian superstar is pure rock en Espanola. How freely she deploys her freshly mastered English-the corners the Anglo-Saxon consonants put on her Latin gush, the slightly misbegotten metaphors, the awkward, carnal, unhesitatingly female chauvinist "Underneath your clothes/There's an endless story/There's the man I chose/There's my territory." A picture of an English Dictionary on the album jacket, funny eh?
