She was only 14 when she recorded this debut, but Amber Rose already displayed the savvy approach to her music. She coos with childlike innocence on the pop ditties "Chicas Quieren Gozar" (a bilingual version of Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun") and "Candyboy." But she also delivers fiery emotion and hip-hop attitude on the breezy techno-pop tune "Esta Noche." Meanwhile, the infectious cumbia "Tu Me Prometiste" rings with dance-floor appeal. Rose seems well at ease in this Tejano-pop-dance music mix--a mix that bodes well for the future of contemporary Latin music in America. The 1990s have seen the rise of various hybrids and fusions in the new youth-driven Latin music, whether it's the merenqueteque grooves of West Coast banda or the hip-hop-rap-salsa rhythms of New York act Proyecto Uno. Rose seems to be at the right place at the right time for music in the new millennium. --Ramiro Burr
