Into The Light
This is an excellent CD for fans and collectors to buy,the songs sound great,there cool too.


Gotta be in the dark...to make it into the light
Anytime you feel like your goals are out of reach and look impossible, listen to this album. This is the first album Gloria released following her tragic bus accident that almost left her paralyzed. The whole album is basically a testament to Gloria's road to recovery and never giving up on herself. The first single, "Coming Out of the Dark" is a brilliant way to open the album! The song tells the story of her rehabilitation and perseverance. Having the choir sing background vocals adds to the depth of the song's message. The inspirational songs don't end there. Take a listen to "Seal Our Fate", "What Goes Around", "Nayib's Song", "Sex in the 90's" and "Close My Eyes". The messages in these songs are self explanatory yet they also offer inspiration and positivity. I often listen to this album in the morning as I think of dragging myself into work or perhaps after a long, stressful day.

Gloria closes the album with "Desde La Oscuridad", the Spanish version of "Coming Out of the Dark". . . a touching way to end the journey that you take with her. I still appreciate the personal messages blended with the latin-inflected pop on this album 15 years after its release.


Disappointing
Way too synthesized. Not much trace of the Latin feel she does so well.


Amazing cd @}->---
Not only did the crowd stand and cheer for what seemed like 10 minutes (closer to 2 or so), but there wasn't a dry eye in the house (or in mine). I will never ever forget watching the first performance from Gloria after her bus crash at the AMAs when she sang Coming Out Of The Dark. Ever since, whenever I hear that beautiful song, I still almost cry. It's amazing, and I guess it's true what they say about how an artists best work comes from when they write personal songs steming from personal tragedies or triumphs. In this case, the song is about both.
Coming Out Of The Dark is by far the best song on here and one of the best songs she has ever written. Also here is the fast and catchy What Comes Around and the hauntingly beautiful Close My Eyes. The two other stand out songs were both hits (and for obvious reasons) - Can't Forget You and Live For Loving You. Gloria is known for both her fantastic ballads and the cute boppy songs too. This is a great cd because there is a good mix of both on here. I really love it and still listen to it often even now.


Gloria shows quality once again, but this one has it ups and downs
This is
to much "discoland" sometimes, on track 3 What goes around she sounds like Donna Summer. Gloria Estefan has at least one hit on this Cd called Coming Out of the Dark, but when she goes into the "syntheseisers
land" on some of the tracks it`s a let down from the " Estefan quality" we love, (at least some of us do, hopefully). Nothing wrong with that,for sure, but it doesnt fit here style at all. There is much to much syntheisers over the soundpicture. But at least Track 9 Language of Love brings some joy into your mind. Its "hip" enough, and a good listning experience "all trough". Track 12 Live for Loving You, shines also with "Estefan quality". When Track 15 Don`t wanna loose you in portugeguese, is one of the best tracks from the minor masterpiece CD cuts both ways, something is wrong.
But anyway Gloria Estefan shines trough sometimes, but this one has it`s ups and downs, that`s for sure.
