Tuesday, October 30.' VF Lii M E iesday, Oct CONTROL Enrique Iglesias Escape Interscope Records Nearly every track on Enrique Iglesias’ latest album has beats that easily could become dance club hits. His latest songs do not stray far from his first English album, Enrique. “Don’t Turn Off the Lights” brings an international flavor to the album with tropical and tribal chants. “Love to See You Cry” merges Spanish guitars with 1970s disco beats accompanied by disturbing lyrics. Iglesias sings, “I don’t know why, but I love to see you cry ... it makes me feel so alive.” Overall, this is a great dance song with Daft Punk-esque beats in the background. “Hero” satisfies Iglesias’ lustful fans by displaying the soft vocals acquired from his father. He sings with plenty of emotion during soft lines like, “Would you tremble if 1 touched your lips?” Does the Pope wear a funny hat? The rest of the album is filled with dark bal lads mixed with a few worthy dance tunes, “If the World Crashes Down” and “Love 4 Fun.” The last three tracks are Spanish versions of “Escape,” “Don’t Turn Off the Lights” and “Hero,” or, in Spanish, “Heroe.” Escape offers Enrique’s voice and looks that again will make girls bite their lower lips and their boyfriends cringe when Iglesias is on MTV. (Grade: B) — Lizette Resendez provide catchy lyrics and funky disco beat “Main Vein” sounds like the music onik Shaft soundtrack, and the remaining dancetracb sound like tunes off Old Navy commercials. The slowed tracks are worth listening toonti listeners are finished striking Donna Sunm poses in front of their mirror. However, once they’ve recovered will be hoping for five extra dance track (Grade: B+) — Lizette Resedi By Tri THE B Mention t hoolfootbal e same sent illege footba id watch the Incubus Morning View Epic Records Jamiroquai A Funk Odyssey Epic Records The beginning beats of “Feel So Good” will have listeners asking, “Where’s the catwalk?” as they feel a sudden urge to strut their stuff. Almost every song on Jamiroquai’s latest album, appropriately named A Funk Odyssey, will have listeners envisioning themselves standing outside an upperclass, VIP only, NYC club chatting it up with Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte. “Little L” and “You Give Me Something” keep the groove flowing. Luckily, listeners can skip track four, a mellow tune with jazzy riffs and trumpets, to continue dancing up a storm. “Black Crow” and “Picture of My Life”also are more refiective and have sad undertones. For disco-dancing fools, seven of the 10 tracks As with its platinum album. Make Yountl Incubus has again stepped closer to the real: of their sensitive and spiritual side withtbei recent release of Morning View. Incubus has successfully made \he wmm from harder rock to a more melodic and stntk sound w ithout losing any energy. Lead singei Brandon Boyd has an intelligent voice, and raw aggression is evident in songs such "Blood On the Ground.” Yet listeners are stii able to experience his voice’s range in the" You In” and “Aqueous Transmission.” Boyd's voice is nothing short of infectious. There is a more atmospheric vibe ill “Aqueous Transmission,” which may leave listi thinking of rivers somewhere in Asia. The fir track on the CD, “Nice To Know You.” is song that is able to represent the entire CD. With a hard-hitting drum beat moving into aggressive guitar riffs, Boyd’s voice adds jusi enough passion to please the more sensitiveearj while still holding an edge. As each song holds its own uniqueness. Morning View still encom passes the traditional ingredients that make Incubus familiar for their listeners. The CD’s lyrics are packed full of meaning as well. From singing about not making the same mistake twice, to views on howficklethe world can be. Incubus is able to make listeners actually listen to the words and not just them. “When I close my eyes ... I remembei how to smile. Under my umbrella ... fma? accomplished exile,” from the song “Under My Umbrella,” gives an example of thedefth to the CD’s lyrics. Morning View is evidence that thisbandii maturing with every album they make Incubus's music, lyrics and passion still an evident in every track on the CD, only intensi tied on another level.
