The upcoming album will be strongly supported by a world-wide Tour where millions of fans will be enjoying the new songs. His world concert tours fill soccer stadiums and his appearances are greeted with mass hysteria. CHAYANNE with his unique style, charm and rhythm has demonstrated why he is the strongest and talented dancer and singer who is admired by people of all ages.

Love, in all its swoon-inducing shapes and sizes, anchors Desde Siempre, an affecting collection of ballads from Puerto Rican heartthrob Chayanne. The material here dates all the way back to 1988, but it's not a best-of collection, per se. Indeed, Desde Siempre is more a sweet love letter to fans. Lilting gems "Un Siglo Sin Ti," "Atado a Tu Amor" and the glittering "El Centro de Mi Corazon" were definite hits, but this savvy assemblage gives an added sense of heft to Chayanne's seemingly lightweight repertoire. He has a knack for selecting great pop songs written by first-rate composers, most notably Franco de Vita and Estefano. Chayanne is hardly a vocal powerhouse, but his phrasing benefits from the subtle shading and nuances he uses to make up for his limitations. New track "Contra Vientos y Mareas" fits in snugly with the established hits and is likely to become another of the album’s many chart-toppers. --Joey Guerra

CHAYANNE MI TIEMPO

This young, good-looking Puerto Rican heartthrob delivers more soft, romantic tunes that are easy to digest and sway to. CD opener "Dejaria Todo" gets you into the mood quickly with dreamy atmospherics and a mellow pace. Solid tunes include the title track and "Soy Como un Niño," songs infused with pure soft-rock spirit, sing-along vocal harmonies, and groove-heavy melodies. Chayanne's Hollywood debut, costarring in the movie musical Dance with Me with actress-singer-former Miss America Vanessa Williams, earned him good exposure. On Atado a Tu Amor, he and Williams duet on the R&B tune "You Are Home," which is included here in a Spanish salsa version as "Refugio de Amor." But laidback ballads aren't the whole story, as Chayanne cuts loose on energetic dance tunes "Mira Ven Ven" and "Enamorado." --Ramiro Burr
