Fight the Feeling

0 - Default Title
Description
He's being touted as the latest Latin heartthrob à la Enrique , Marc , and Ricky , but Luis Fonsi sounds more like a Making the Band wannabe on Fight the Feeling , his English-language debut album. Fonsi has a strong and supple voice, but it's wasted on drippy ballads such as "If Only" and "Save Me," which is anchored by the cringe-inducing lyric "Heaven must be missing an angel." Even the uptempo tracks "One Night Thing," "Twisted," and "Turn It Up" fail to generate any heat. The entire album is slickly produced, which is part of the problem. Every track is soaked in pseudo-R&B rhythms, altered vocal tricks, and limp Latin flourishes. It all makes the Puerto Rican performer come off like a one-man boy band along the lines of O-Town and 98 Degrees . Nothing against 'N Sync , however, whose own music has even evolved past this kind of innocuous pop schmaltz. --Joey Guerra
