Racquel Requena: “Fresco”
Connecticut-based Requena's boardroom-slick Gloria Estefan soprano is well worth the princely studio values that Sony-ize this collection of salsa-pop; it's dentist-office Enrique Iglesias for men who swoon. Three songs are her own creations, treated like the others to fine arranging by an assortment of clever deck-hands. All the songs save for one are sung in Spanish - the Marvin Hamlisch standard "Looking Through the Eyes of Love" gets dragged through Requena's sunny barrio without getting at all overdone. Order at Tower Records
