Por Puro Amor

Released in June 1995, just months after Selena's tragic death, Por Puro Amor rose quickly to the top of the charts on the potent mix of a cool pop-norteÂ±o sound and lead singer Alicia Villarreal's smooth, little-girl vocals. The Tex-Mex world readily welcomed the new young princess. The songwriting was above average; bouncy, melodic songs like "Esta Vez," "No Estan Facil," and "Yo sin Tu Amor" connected with familiar love stances made fresh by Villarreal's sexy, sweet vocals. And despite Villarreal's country & western outfits, braided hair, and seemingly innocent charm, her sense of maturity and sophistication came through in the more elaborate love songs like "Te Aprovechas," a fiery spin on dependence where she conveys her anger in sexy growls. --Ramiro Burr
