The album, which debuts March 23, 2010; at first glance, looks like a cologne ad.
Unfortunately, the music does little to distinguish itself from that image. Unlike Ricky Martin or Enrique Iglesias, Chayanne has rarely taken risks in his 20+ year career. Now with No Hay Imposibles, the artist adds another Spanish Adult Contemporary disc to the collection.
From “Me Pierdo Contigo,” to “Siento,” to “Tu Boca,” the oversaturated sweetness of everything leaves these songs ultimately without any flavor.
There are times when Chayanne comes out of his artistic shell. “Si No Estas,” is a dreamy song, perfectly sung and perfectly produced, the opener outshines any of the singer’s previous material. “Por Esta Mujer,” adds heat to the night.. And lastly, “Dime” soothes the soul.
These duds just provoke the next button. “Besos En La Voca,” is zapped from sensuality and “Dame Dame,” sounds like a demo version of “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Not so sexy.
There is little to no growth here from his previous works and aside from a few gems, this treasure chest is full of fool’s good. For Chayanne, it seems there are impossibles, and one of them is making a record as fiery as he is.
