According to acclaimed Venezuelan journalist Leonardo Padron, "Listen to this album and pay special attention to her words, just as someone pays attention to a lover's skin.

Her voice has always been an erotic instrument, but this time there is something subtle in it, something close to its boiling point." Carnival Studio Theater |
