Description:

One of the most polished of contemporary Latin singers, Marc Anthony keeps a solid grip on his roots underneath a sophisticated pop veneer. Melding slick ballads, hard rocking Salsa, Bachata, and R&B, heartthrob Anthony sings impassionately over some great arrangements from co-producer Angel "Cucho" Pena and Humberto Ramirez, among others. Funky "slap" bass, strings, and synthesizers add a chart-orientated flavor to classic Salsa orchestrations, but Anthony's powerful and romantic voice and his choice of material ensure that Contra la Corriente does not sink into a "smooth groove" quagmire. If Salsa is to have world class, crossover success, then Marc Anthony is the most accessible candidate. --Derek Rath

5The Greatest Salsa Voice of His Generation  Jan 08, 2005
If you are of Hispanic heritage, you don't have to read this review because you already know the great Marc Anthony. For everyone else, if you are interested in hearing one of the most amazing voices in any musical genre, buy this CD. It is simply Marc Anthony's best. Please don't buy one of his English CDs -- they are terrible (the songs are weak, the productions are sappy and Marc's enthusiam is lacking). However, Contra la Corriente shines. All the tracks are first rate. Trust me. I don't speak Spanish, but I love Salsa! And this is one of my all-time favorites. The beats are infectious, the melodies are powerful and his voice is unmatched. I'm trying to recommend a few tracks, but I just can't -- I recommend all of them! Salsa purists will love the title cut, balad lovers will cry during No Me Conoses and Suceden. If you want to know what passion sounds like, La Luna Sobre Nuestro Amor will make you feel like you've never felt before. I only wish Marc Anthony would stop making English albums and Spanish pop, and make more Contra la Corrientes! BUY THIS CD. If for some impossible, crazy reason you don't like it, I'll buy it off you!

5Authentic- a Marc A classic!  Feb 28, 2004
Marc Anthony's Spanish language albums are usually exceptional and unique but he really took his talent an extra mile here and this is a show case of one of best salsa albums produced in the nineties. Everything in Contra la Corriente is on point- the voice, the acoustics, the lyrics and the emotion. What can I say this is exceptional salsa by an exceptional artist. This is a great album for true and new salsa fans, all the songs are great for listening and dancing (yes, although it's not fast salsa). My ultimate favorites on this cd are: Y hubo alguien, Contra la corriente, and Me voy a regalar. This is a very special album, I don't think the artist himself can top this one. In a nutshell- beautiful salsa!

5WOW  Jun 02, 2002
Any doubt why he got a Grammy for this album? Just listen to it. This is the first musc from Marc Anthony I ever heard and I was instantly hooked. His sound just took my breath away. His vioce soars...and the brass is killer! Salsa is at its best when it makes your heart race and your breath heavy...and this accomplishes that goal very capably. This album reflects the work of a very talented young man who is an incredible force in slsa today. Listen to the album and you'll know why.
