Coming off a hits collection and moving on to a new label with this 2013 release, young bachatero Prince Royce skillfully becomes a mature crossover artist on Soy el Mismo, effortlessly mixing slick pop tracks with solid bachata. Any over-anxious pop moments experienced on his earlier efforts are wiped away once the commanding club track, "Already Missing You" with Selena Gomez, hits the speakers, as the tune is his most comfortable crossover moment to date, combining lustful yearning, EDM breakdowns, and a daring ending that leaves the listener -- like the song's hero -- hanging. Balance that with the more traditional bachata cut "Darte un Beso," and the album has a highlight from both sides of Royce's wide reach with "You Are Fire" being the surprise, mostly acoustic ballad. ~ David Jeffries Review: Wow! - I'm a big bachata fan -- though my taste runs to roots and artists like Luis Segura in his acoustic days -- but once I discovered this young bachatero with the gorgeous Spanish eyes and those dimples -- my tastes got updated fast! His earlier albums are good as far as they go but he really hit it out of the park with this one, people. As a review above indicates, it's good music "from start to finish." Every track works here -- and despite the variety of style and substance, it all seems to hang together as one cohesive whole, to me the hallmark of an artist who knows who he is and where he wants to go.... If you liked Darte un Beso, you will enjoy this entire collection. Herein you will find songs that are romantic (Tu Principe), poignant (Invisible, about a boy and his absentee father, gets me every time), muy bailable (the delicious Kiss Kiss) and, once again...romantic! Looks like Prince Royce made a smart move when he entrusted his precious talent to Sony. Review: Prince Royce Soy El Mismo - Prince Royce Soy El Mismo new cd is so awesome I love this cd.
