EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON.COM Jennifer Peña delivers on the promise of her 1996 debut album with this spirited sophomore effort that blends lilting cumbia rhythms and pop classics. Backed by her polished band, Los Jetz, Peña sounds confident and focused on clever cumbia versions of the girl group and soul classics "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and "Just One Look." Peña even manages a heated dance/rock version of Rick James's "Super Freak" featuring a guitar solo by Chris Perez. It's clear that Peña is being prepped for international markets, but she is equally effective on the more traditional Tejano tunes "Solo Por Ti," "Que Paso," and "Si No Me Quieres, Dimelo." It's the same double musical life that, sadly, her role model Selena never had the chance to fully enjoy. --Joey Guerra
