Juanes: Mi Sangre (3.5/4 stars)

I haven't run into such a fun album in quite a while. My Spanish comprehension isn't much more than 50%, but what I could understand of the lyrics, the ringing strings and the sweet Latin rhythms make Mi Sangre (My Blood) a real pleasure to listen to.

My favorite cuts are the infectious Amame (Love Me), a rocking obsessive love pean, the slower burn but still kinetic love song Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor (I Am Nothing Without Your Love) and the unusual breakup song La Camisa Negra (The Black Shirt).

I don't have very many complete albums on my poor little 4GB apple green iPod mini. Mi Sangre is one of them, and I don't think I'll be deleting a single track for quite a while.
