Pilar Montenegro

Ex-Garibaldi singer/actress Pilar Montenegro, who debuted in 1996 with Son del Corazón, brings listeners her first Latin pop full-length record under her contract with Univision Music Group. Titled after Roberto Carlos' classic "Desahogo," this album opens with a Latin pop/rock song called "Cuando Estamos Solos," followed by romantic ballads mostly composed by Rudy Pérez, including a ranchera version of "Alguien Que una Vez Amé," the norteño "Quítame Ese Hombre," and ending with a club/dance version of the opening track. After nine months of recording sessions, Pilar Montenegro emerges with a well-balanced and brilliantly produced work. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
