Puerto Rican heartthrob Chayanne has built an enviable multimedia career, appearing in films and soap operas, while making the girls swoon with his smoky good looks and smooth, emotive vocal style. He continues to refine his popcraft on 2005's DESDE SIEMPRE, delivering a sharply produced album brimming with big hooks, sexy singing, and slick, 1980s-influenced instrumentation. "Fuiste Un Trozo De Hielo En La Escarcha" features a funky, snaking bass line that sounds as if it was lifted straight from INXS's LISTEN LIKE THIEVES. On "Cuidarte El Alma," Chayanne adds a bit of grit to his voice, belting it out like a Latino Bryan Adams at his heart-on-the-sleeve best. "Un Siglo Sin Ti" is as catchy a tune as they come, matching a crooning verse with a sing-along chorus. A fine example of state-of-the-art Puerto Rican pop with a sexy edge, DESDE SIEMPRE offers up the goods for both the ears and the fluttering heart.
