AMG Review of Romances

Terry Jenkins
All Music Guide

Luis Miguel's Romances is part of his series of records of classic boleros. This time around, he hired Bebu Silvetti as musical director and arranger and Armando Manzanero as artistic director. Those two musicians wrote two new songs to augment the 13 classic love ballads from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, and their impeccable taste and Miguel's seductive vocals make Romances a sensuous, enchanting album.
