Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Enrique Iglesias has sold 40 million albums in a little over a decade, becoming one of the most successful artists in the history of popular music. He has spent the past three years crafting his latest album.

Entitled "Insomniac," a humorous nod to Enrique's sleepless nights and obsessive artistic persona, the record is clearly the most ambitious project of his phenomenal career.

Amazon.com:
After three years of tossing and turning in anticipation of a new Enrique Iglesias disc, fans of the Latin superstar may find themselves losing still more sleep over early reviews that take Insomniac to task for straying too far from the sound that launched him to the loverman stratosphere. No need, though. Despite the presence of Lil' Wayne on the ultra-steamy, street-edged "Push" and some unapologetically catchy pop tunes any male singer, ethnicity aside, could have fun with ("Do You Know," for example, and "Tired of Being Sorry," a Ringside re-tread), white-hot machismo and Latin charm permeate Insomniac reliably. "Little Girl" sends out liquid-eyed outpourings of love to the ladies, "Don't You Forget About Me" delivers a sweet lament over a melting guitar line, and three late Spanish-language tracks--though they're just translations of English versions that preceded them--manage to lift the whole thing into a romantic shangri-la. If it's a peppier shangri-la than normal, chalk it up to No-Doz; Iglesias admits in the liner notes that he, himself, is the insomniac the disc was named for. --Tammy La Gorce

- Fun Pop Album
Insomniac seems to have a slower pace than than his previous efforts, but it all blends together quite well, with tracks oscillating between exuberant dance anthems and softly spoken, well arranged ballads. The album concludes, as per usual, with a series of earlier tracks in Spanish and two remixes.

With this album, I'm always reminded of a commercial for the MTV show Rob and Big, where the two leading men enter a drive-thru car wash where no one can see them and blast the song "Do ... Read More

- Great Album!! 7 good songs.
I think this is one of his better albums to date. Songs like : 1. Ring My Bell, 3. Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song), 4. Somebody's Me, 5. On Top Of You, 6. Tired Of Being Sorry, 8. Wish I Was Your Lover, and 10. Stay Here Tonight, are all great songs, it has a good blend of a great beat, good lyrics and the soulful voice of Enrique that puts these songs among his greatest yet and it rivals his past albums. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of Enrique and a fan of good ... Read More

- ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - DIMELO/DO YOU KNOW? ... con su (Ping Pong Song)
El otro día me sentía un poco preocupado con el artículo del mes de junio. No sabía si debería escribir del nuevo grupo Yerbabuena de Nueva York, Marisela Verena de Cuba, o Martirio (María Isabel Quiñones Gutiérrez) de Huelca, España. Y en mis trampas de luz, me encontré con el joven Michael Cosculluela de padres cubanos y criado en los Estados Unidos. El es uno de los compositores de mi canción predilecta en inglés de los pasados 4 anos `Just A Phase' la cual el canta a dúo con Lissette ... Read More

- This CD is FABULOUS. My favorite so far. There is no one like Enrique
I have duplicate copies of most of Enrique's CDs so I can have one in my home and one in my car. Enrique is by far my favorite artist.

This is by far my favorite of all of his CD's. I LOVE IT. It is the first one I listed to in the morning..It gets me up and full of energy for the day. It is a great workout CD too.
