Though banda teen sensation Luis Coronel seemed to come out of nowhere to eventually top the Latin albums chart with Con La Frente en Alto, his Del Records debut in 2013, hardcore fans knew this was untrue. He had been posting videos and audio recordings of his own songs and covers from the time he was 15. This second album proves the quality of the first was no fluke. Quiero Ser Tu Due¤o features three originals in its 16-track lineup including the stellar title track, a shining example of his ballad style. He also composed the banda "Tendr s Que Aguantarme" as well as the closing acoustic version of the romantic "Perd¢name." The set's single, "Tenerte," is a stirring banda while "Dime Que Si" by Am‚rica Sierra, is an excellent ranchera, showcasing the set's variety. ~ Thom Jurek
