Having established herself as a hugely successful singles artist and pop-rock diva in the 1970s, Linda Ronstadt changed her focus after 1982's GET CLOSER. From there, she explored her own musical obsessions. After releasing two well-received sets of classic pop songs and ballads, she recorded a series of albums that mined her Spanish/Mexican heritage, beginning in 1987.
FRENESI, released in 1992, is the third and final installment in Linda's "Latin phase." Sung entirely in Spanish, but with accompanying English lyric sheet, this is a collection of cha-chas, rhumbas, and boleros, with impeccable backing by the Ray Santos Orchestra and numerous other musicians: percussionists, a three-man vocal trio, and the 28-member Skywalker Strings. Ronstadt's effortless singing, precise phrasing and that signature aching moan are very much in evidence. With her clarion voice floating above percolating Latin percussion, subtly swelling strings and Spanish guitar, the sound is lush, dramatic, and undeniably romantic. These are songs of passion, and she sings them that way. Most of these, with the possible exception of the classic "Perfidia," will be unfamiliar to listeners not well versed in Latin styles, but FRENESI is a worthy and accessible effort.
