Editorial Reviews :
Shakira may have been the first Latina to don the contemporary crossover crown, but Mexican golden girl Paulina Rubio's first English-language effort outshines the pop competition in any language. Border Girl follows Rubio's spectacularly successful Paulina, the No. 1 Latin album of 2001. Like that collection, Border Girl blends terrific hooks, sing-along choruses, seductive rhythms, and lots of energy--essential elements for any great pop album. 'Don't Say Goodbye,' the hypnotic first single, is a good introduction for American audiences, and Rubio even pulls off a sly cover of the Kiss hit 'I Was Made for Lovin' You.' Even better are the glittering girl-power anthems translated from Spanish to English, including 'Not That Kind of Girl,' the pulsing club gem 'Sexual Lover,' and 'The Last Goodbye,' an innovative, I-will-survive testimonial that blends ranchera and hip-hop instrumentation. Border music has never sounded so savvy--or sensational.
Buyer Reviews :
AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING FOR THIS PROJECT I CAN FINALLY SAY THAT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. IT CAME TO MY SURPRISE TO FIND A CD THAT SHOWS US EVOLUTION (SHE'S BEEN A POP STAR IN LATIN AMERICA FOR MORE THAN A DECADE)AND PURE TALENT. PAULINA'S MUSIC AND SINGING STYLE ARE TAKING A VERY WORDLY SHAPE, SHE'S EASILY APPEALING TO BOTH EAST AND WEST MARKET, NORTH AND SOUTH.
BORDER GIRL MIXES A VARIETY OF SOUNDS (AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A LATIN CROSSOVER ACT THAT DIDN'T STRESS THE 'LATINADA' SOUND) FROM TRANCE TO HIP-HOP, FROM FLAMENCO SOUNDS TO THE SWEETEST OF BALLADS. 'DON'T SAY GOODBYE' OPENS THE SHOW, GIVING US A FRESH TASTE OF WHAT'S ABOUT TO COME, WITH DANCY TUNES AND THE CATCHIEST OF CHORUS (AND AN AWESOME VIDEO TOO), FOLLOWS WHAT WILL BE THE ONLY TRACK WITH LATIN FLAVOR 'CASANOVA' VERY INNOVATIVE; AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT MIXTURE OF POP/ROCK THEN 'THE ONE YOU LOVE' IS FOR YOU. TO COOL DOWN A LITTLE SHE SUGGESTS YOU LISTEN TO 'UNDENIABLE' A BALLAD THAT SHOWS THE PURITY AND TENDERNESS OF HER VOICE AS IF SHE'LL BE SINGING TO YOUR EARS. HIP-HOP/TEX-HOP LOVERS WILL ENJOY 'THE LAST GOODBYE' AND 'STEREO', TOTALLY COOL THIS LAST ONE, IT SUITS HER VOCALS PERFECTLY. THE TRACKS FLOW AND WE ARE INMERSE IN THIS DANCE/TRANCE ATMOSPHERE WITH 'FIRE' AND 'I'LL BE RIGHT HERE' TO FINISH WITH THE INCREDIBLE REMAKE OF KISS'S 'I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU'. BUT THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS, AND WE KEEP IT GOING WITH SONGS IN SPANISH THAT WILL MAKE YOU LOVE HER EVEN MORE. LIKE I SAID THE CD WAS WORTH WAITING FOR, TO THE ONES WHO KNEW HER THIS IS HER BIGGEST PROJECT, TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WE PRESENT YOU: OUR GOLDEN GIRL!
