Nice review, indeed.
It differs from what you actually told me...you little teaser.
In fact, I don't know but maybe I like his new album better than his first because there are more songs which are attracting me. I have to listen to "Te traigo flores" one more time to be sure. There's no doubt that I like almost everything what he sings.
"Te traigo flores" will remain his trademark hymn.
Now to his second album....I liked the title track
"Todo vuelve a empezar" right from the start, I also like the idea using the sound of an alarm clock in the beginning which totally fits the title and the theme of the whole album "everything begins again"...the alarm clock rings - a new day has started. In the case of the song it's summer which has started again. It's holiday season, you can relax from work/school and enjoy the summer at the sea, celebrate with your friends that summer has begun and thousands of adventures waiting for you. One common goal which unites all and the first love you'll never forget. You have to enjoy time to the full although it might well be that you won't get as much sleep as usual. (so much for the subject matter stated in the text
)It's a good intro.
"La Chica del Parque" indeed isn't that much of a burner - the mandatory love theme - comparable to the song "Esa niña me va" (maybe a little more mature) it's about the special girl you witness somewhere, you fall instantly in love with her and at some point you'll meet her again.
"Vuelve a mi" is a typical break-up heartache song, a very nice one. That's the difference between "coup de foudre" songs which always tend to be a little cheesy and songs with a sentimental backround, they are more true to the bone because you don't cherish something before you lost it for one time. And then it really hurts...this is love, if it doesn't hurt, then it ain't no love baby.
"Junto a ti", I admit, is a typical Spanish song. A longing for a person you just want to be together with, you can't live without her/him. And there is nothing else that matters than to share everything nice with only that one. A song full of passion and desire.
"Rock and Roll de Verano" for me marks a continuation of "Todo vuelve a empezar". Love isn't the subject matter in this one...again it is "celebrar", "bailar", "soñar" y "divertirse" (celebrate, dance, relax and having fun
). This one is totally reminiscent of his first album. The lyrics and the composition are kind of premature. Nice, but not nearly good as the rest.
"Los amigos" ...that's what friends are for.
A nice song about what friendship means. They are the ones who set up the party, they make you laugh, they catch you when you fall, they are open to make new friends and they don't ask any questions, they keep secrets at all cost - they are always there for you.
"Eres un Huracán"...this is probably the song where our perceptions are parting.
This song has potential, it has its' own power and I'm sure it isn't much of a studio song..it's intended for live performance to develop full throttle. It's kind of a "poser song" to impress someone you like by composing a song about that one. "See I'm singing about YOU! A hurricane I can't escape." One of my favorites.
"Baila conmigo" reminds me of "Sex and the City" in the beginning.
It's "traditional" but it is something different. I like the idea that Antonio is singing a song which probably a 50 or 60 year old man would sing.
Something to impress older chicas.
As I said it's something different but it's not that bad.
"A ti" is an insiders' tip. Phew! This is not a love song, this is a song for someone special you lost in your life you don't want to forget and I guess this song again goes straight to his grandma who died. Very emotional, very beautiful. Whereas "Te traigo flores" has been a cheerful song that he dedicated to his grandma, this song truly is sad.A very good decision to place this song as second last track. All in all I like how well-conceived the songs are placed on this album, it isn't random - it's all for a reason.
"Cuéntame" ...again...a festive song. I admit...the best of them.
A quasi modern love song comparable to "Eres un Huracán".
