Description:
The well of undiscovered material never seems to dry up, even nine years after the death of Tejano queen Selena. Momentos Intimos features the usual hodge-podge of English and Spanish hits ("Amor Prohibido," "Dreaming of You," "No Me Queda Mas"), but it is notable for two newly orchestrated tracks and an unreleased demo recording. Lilting string arrangements and lush horns accentuate "Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti" and "No Llores Mas Corazon," which were obviously recorded early in Selena's career. Still, her mature and nuanced interpretation on both tracks is an unexpected delight. It
The well of undiscovered material never seems to dry up, even nine years after the death of Tejano queen Selena. Momentos Intimos features the usual hodge-podge of English and Spanish hits ("Amor Prohibido," "Dreaming of You," "No Me Queda Mas"), but it is notable for two newly orchestrated tracks and an unreleased demo recording. Lilting string arrangements and lush horns accentuate "Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti" and "No Llores Mas Corazon," which were obviously recorded early in Selena's career. Still, her mature and nuanced interpretation on both tracks is an unexpected delight. It is "Puede Ser," however, that will attract the most listener interest. The pop-rock tune was reportedly recorded days before Selena's death in her home studio. Even in this unrehearsed demo, Selena's soulful delivery seems effortless and serves as another reminder of her natural talent. With a slightly sharper musical arrangement, "Puede Ser" could have become Selena's latest chart-topper. The album also features spoken liner notes by Selena's family--a bittersweet collection of memories and humorous moments. --Joey Guerra
