My favorite purchase of 2005 Jan 01, 2006
I know this album came out a couple of years ago, but it is my favorite album of 2005. I buy probably 100 + albums per year, and this is my favorite del ano 2005. So very uplifting.

This is meaty pop that deserves more than 5 stars. Aug 18, 2004
I have to thank a good friend for turning me on to Diego Torres via 1999 "Tal Cual Es," and I could not believe that I had never heard of this guy as he quickly became one of my favorites. Like that release, "Un Mundo Diferente" earns 5 solid stars as it is the best of Latin pop, which combines great melody with poetry. Diego more than deserves a place on the table with the great Alejandro Sanz and Juan Luis Guerra as the best of the best.
This release came out in 2001, but I am only getting into it now as I was under whelmed when I first heard it and it went to the back of the pile. I don't know what the heck was wrong with me as this release may even be better than "Tal Cual Es," if that is possible, and I can't stop listening to it and just bought his "Unplugged" release from Amazon.com. It's hard to list highlights from this release as they are all great to me. "Color Esperanza" is a perfect example of what Diego does best, which is to turn on your mind and your body to give you a feeling that is uplifting and makes you glad to be alive no matter what you may be going through. His voice is beautiful and authentic and this release ups the ante and benefits from the Santanders (both G. and K.) with some merengue touches that further amplify an already great menu. "Quisiera" is a slow burner and is another favorite, as is "Si Tu Te Vas." I love the tango vibe on "Soy De La Gente," and I just wait until the salsa kicks in during the same song! A total treat for the ears.
Since I cannot gush so much about a release, as people may think that I am a record company executive, I have to find something that is not perfect... I am thinking.... Well there are a couple of songs towards the beginning of the release that are amazing, but it COULD be argueds that they may be a little overproduced and the choruses sound a bit cliched, but ultimately Diego and the music cannot be denied EVEN if one tries to deconstruct the points that I just highlighted to try and show some degree of objectivity. For those who are interested in packaging, the inserts are great with the non-stereotypical outdoor photography, and include all the lyrics
This guy is getting to be huge in Latin America and Europe, but has yet to reach a critical mass here in the United States. One listen to this CD and you may find yourself having a new favorite singer. Spanish speakers (native and non-native) will hear lyrics that are not your run boy meets girl songs, and those who don't speak Spanish will likely succumb to the rhythms (both slow and tropical) of a man who I hope continues to sell enough records to keep us entertained for many years to come. I am listening to this release right now for the third time today and decided that I needed to share the wealth as you guys have turned me on to some great stuff.
