AMG Review of Sola

José A. Estévez
All Music Guide

This is India's most challenging recording, as she attempts a foray into ballad form in a tribute to La Lupe, one of the singer's primary influences ("Que Te Pedí") and tries to veer into the pop side of the house. No mean feat, but this vocalist's scathing style will amaze those who can't envision the artist as anything other than just a salsa singer. Arranger/producer Isidro Infante assembled a first-rate team for this noble effort. The standouts include "Sola" (including a ballad version), "Hielo," and "Déjame Volver Contigo."
