I can appreciate the talent in her vocal range but her vocals just sound more like a novelty shtick to me here. She's all over the vocal map not because the music on this album calls for it (which it doesn't) but just because she can. It wears thin on my ears rather quickly. A voice made for opera squandered on a pop album.

5/10

Her debut album "Voice of the Xtabay", with Les Baxter, is her masterpiece.
