1958年，Nat King Cole发布了《Cole Español》，这是他三张西班牙语专辑中的第一张。半个多世纪后，Natalie Cole以《En Español》向父亲致敬。这张专辑包含了Natalie自己演绎的父亲的经典歌曲，如《Quizás, Quizás, Quizás》和《Solamente una Vez》。《Acércate Más》则融入了Nat 1958年的风格，类似于《Unforgettable》和《Walkin' My Baby Back Home》。专辑由Rudy Pérez制作，他将披头士的《And I Love Her》翻译成慵懒的《Yo Lo Amo》。专辑中还有几位嘉宾参与，包括Andrea Bocelli演唱的《Bésame Mucho》，Juan Luis Guerra更新的《Bachata Rosa》，以及钢琴家Arthur Hanlon演奏的快速五首歌曲串烧，开场是Tito Puente的《Oye Como Va》。尽管Natalie在流利度上有所不足，但她的热情弥补了这一点，使这张专辑成为她风格的一次可爱转变。In 1958, Nat King Cole released Cole Español, the singer's first of three Spanish-language albums. He went to Mexico, and took his daughter along, to promote the release. Over half a century later, she takes a cue from her father with En Español. The album contains Natalie's own versions of songs her father recorded, including"Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" and"Solamente una Vez." Additionally,"Acércate Más" incorporates Nat's 1958 take à la"Unforgettable" and"Walkin' My Baby Back Home." Despite the likenesses, this isn't a mere throwback to a brief phase in Nat's career. Produced by Rudy Pérez who also translates the Beatles'"And I Love Her" for a sleepy"Yo Lo Amo" much of the material was originally written and recorded well after the early '60s. There are several guests, including Andrea Bocelli on"Bésame Mucho," Juan Luis Guerra on an update of his"Bachata Rosa," and pianist Arthur Hanlon on a brisk five-song medley that leads with Tito Puente's"Oye Como Va." Natalie's connection to the source probably isn't much deeper than that of her father; interviews noted her enthusiasm for Mexican food and that she took Spanish classes in high school. The album, nonetheless, is a likable diversion from her norm. What she lacks in fluency is made up with zest. (Andy Kellman)
