With the lyrics being inspiring and the music being fun, they open their brand new album on the vibrantly upbeat title track Power and then we get brought forth the veritably shimmering Milagros, the strident Human, the rhythmical guitar hipsway of Tito (remix) and then comes the impassioned Oye ese ritmo.

Along next is the melodious Padrino and the all-embracing notes and tones that form Sol and they are in turn followed neatly by the engaging Only You, the low slung ode of Peace, Love, and Unity, the set rounding out on the soaring, smile-inducing Caribbean-hued beauty of Give to Receive, closing on the mid-tempo pop-rocker Camila Vida Mia.
