Sin Limite

Sin Limite

After a string of moderately successful allbums on the EMI Latin label, pop diva Ednita Nazario jumps ship for <I>Sin Limite</I>, her debut album for Sony Discos (Lucero, Alejandro Fernandez, Ricky Martin). This collection doesn't break any new musical ground, but it does find Nazario rejuvenated as a vocalist. The result is a rock-solid, mature set of pop and dance gems that are ripe for radio play. "Devuelveme," the first single, is a glossy ballad; "Despues de la Lluvia" and the elegant "Bajo Cero" ride lilting rock grooves that are impossible to shake after just one listen. Nazario (who was the only redeeming thing in Paul Simon's failed <I>Capeman</I> musical) does her best Gloria Trevi impersonation on "Cada Vez," duets with label-mate Ricardo Arjona on the heartbreak ballad "Porque Hablamos," and even aces "Having the Time of My Life" (an English-language club ditty). Girl power, indeed. <I>--Joey Guerra</I>
