Genre: LATIN POP/ROCK

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 July 30, 2008
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 You Know (The Ping Pong Song)" on maximum volume as they dance in their seats and sing along. Once the machine wash is finished and their car exits the tunnel, they turn to one another and agree to keep it a secret. Yes, I'm going for a point here. While the past few years have seen the American airways turn away from the lighter pop that would have ascended the charts in the 90s, there's little resisting the fact that it's still fun and, frankly, good music.
Ultimately, if you accept it for what it is, fun and undemanding pop, it's actually a quite enjoyable, well produced and well executed album.
Great Album!! 7 good songs. June 30, 2008
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 music in general.
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - DIMELO/DO YOU KNOW? ... con su (Ping Pong Song) June 18, 2008
El otro dia me sentia un poco preocupado con el articulo del mes de junio. No sabia si deberia escribir del nuevo grupo Yerbabuena de Nueva York, Marisela Verena de Cuba, o Martirio (Maria Isabel Quinones Gutierrez) de Huelca, Espana. Y en mis trampas de luz, me encontre con el joven Michael Cosculluela de padres cubanos y criado en los Estados Unidos. El es uno de los compositores de mi cancion predilecta en ingles de los pasados 4 anos `Just A Phase' la cual el canta a duo con Lissette en el disco compacto LA LINEA DE LA VIDA y nos pusimos a platicar.
Michael compartio algunos aspectos de su vida en su camina a la fama. Me comento de su colaboracion con Jessica Chirino con la cancion "Where Are You Running?" que es bien pegajosa. Mientras platicamos un poco de su vida, compartio su gozo de haber grabado todos los voces del coro de las canciones "Dimelo" en espanol y la version en ingles `Do You Know... (the ping pong song)?' del ultimo disco compacto de Enrique Iglesias, INSOMNIA. En ese momento, me informo que Enrique ya habia grabado todas las canciones y el disco compacto saldria al mercado pronto.
Con gusto, fui al website de Enrique Iglesias, y en efectivo, se le oye claramente a Michael cantar a fondo ... dimelo, dimelo... Quede entusiasmado y interesado en conocer mas del nuevo disco de Enrique Iglesias que seguramente sera el exito del verano. Despues de tres anos de espera el cantante vuelve con la produccion numero ocho en su carrera un album mas rockero y latino que saldra a la venta a nivel mundial el proximo 12 de junio del 2007.
INSOMNIAC es una produccion donde comento Enrique Iglesias en una entrevista: "El amor aparece en todas sus etapas. Creo que el amor es un tema universal musicalmente, si escuchas la radio el amor esta presente en todo momento, y aunque es un album mas diverso musicalmente, espero que sea mi mejor disco, pero eso lo decide el publico".
Este joven cantautor ha vendedo mas de 40 millones de discos y compuso la mayoria de los temas de INSOMNIAC. Estos incluyen tambien colaboraciones con Sean Garret, John Shanks, Mark Taylor y Paul Barry, Rami Yaccoub y Arnthor Birgisson, Max Martin, Johnta Autin, Kristian Lundin, Steve Morales, entre otros. El album, que cuenta con una gran diversidad y riqueza de sonidos se grabo entre las ciudades de New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Londres y Suecia. El mismo cuenta con la participacion especial de Lil' Wayne, quien por primera vez colabora en un proyecto pop, imprimiendo su influencia Hip Hop al tema "Push".
El album contiene los temas 'Ring My Bells', 'Push', 'Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)', 'Somebody's Me', 'Tired of Being Sorry', 'On Top Of You', 'Miss You', 'Wish I Was Your Lover', 'Little Girl', 'Sweet Isabel', 'Stay Here Tonight' y 'Don"t You Forget About Me'.
La unica cancion que he escuchado con atencion es `Dimelo' y creo que esa version es mas interesante que `Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)'. `Dimelo ya se ha colocado NUMERO UNO en la lista general de radio de Estado Unidos y Puerto Rico. Este el primer sencillo del album es una co-autoria de Sean Garret, Bryan Kidd y Enrique. El tema fue producido por Carlos Paucar y Enrique Iglesias. Enrique ha dicho: "La musica y letra reflejan la velocidad de un relampago a la que trascienden las relaciones afectivas y define la naturaleza cambiante del amor".
En su trayectoria musical algunos de sus exitos mas importantes en ingles son: `Hero', Bailamos, `Be It You', `Escape', `Rhythm Divine', `Addicted; y `Not In Love' y algunos de sus exitos mas importantes en espanol son: `Si Tu Te Vas', `Experiencia Religiosa', `Esperanza', `Nunca Te Olvidare', `Cosas del Amor' y `Quizas'.
Bueno, veremos que otro tema les traigo el mes entrante. Pero mientras tanto, le deseo mucho exito a Michael Cosculluela en su trayectoria musical ya que ultimamente canto a duo con Lissette `Eclipse Total del Amor' en su concierto AMARADITOS. Me pregunto: Le seguira los pasos a John Secada, el que grabo ese exito anteriormente?" Me gustaria continuar siguiendole los pasos a este nuevo cantautor Cosculluela ya que me interesa saber que nuevas sorpresas y logros artisticos traera. Mientras tanto, canto el coro: "... dimelo, dimelo...
 This CD is FABULOUS. My favorite so far. There is no one like Enrique April 7, 2008
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.
