Compared to the opening tracks, “Bailando” (“Dancing”) feels much more natural, not merely because of its Spanish lyrics. “Bailando” is yet another collaborative track, this time in the hands of Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona. Though it is less sex-oriented than “Freak”, “There Goes My Baby” couldn’t exactly be characterized as a love song, or at least a moving one. Honestly, given the rather blasé performances by both, they seem interchangeable. On “There Goes My Baby”, Iglesias essentially trades one pop-rapper for another in Flo Rida. Charming and chivalrous it isn’t, “Freak” is definitely ‘freaky’ and predictable from both artists. Early on, Iglesias asserts his ‘freakiness’ singing, “I love the way she gets so physical…like an animal.” Fill in the ellipsis for yourself with a plural four-letter word. On “I’m a Freak”, Iglesias is not playing around – look no further than the previously excerpted lyric. “I’m a Freak” kicks off SEX AND LOVE with an assist from none other than one of today’s most ubiquitous pop-rappers, Pitbull. It ends up being what it is – kinda, sorta good, but perhaps at its best, average. Much of the rub with the album is its lack of imagination and creativity the overabundance of generic pop clichés and lack of depth lyrically prevents SEX AND LOVE from truly ‘spreading its wings’ into something more. The title SEX AND LOVE truly leaves little to the imagination, something prevalent throughout the album’s course. Reik’s sad songs are so good you kind of just want him to keep writing unhappy tunes, full-time.“I tried to let it go / But I’m addicted to your chemicals / I got a feast, I want an overdose.” Ay Yi, Yi, Enrique Iglesias – Ay Yi, Yi! The aforementioned lyric is the fashion in which the Latin-pop phenomenon kicks off his latest LP, the ‘subtly’ titled SEX AND LOVE. Written by the left-behind-party who continues to love the one who left.
Uy uy uy - this has got to be one of the best break-up songs.
