Music Review: Lourdes Duque Baron’ ” To Be Loved”

Lourdes Duque Baron’s ” To Be Loved” is simply indicative of the brilliant past and the future- it counts as a rare album, truly deserving of the word ” cinematic”. The music itself is grand and tastefully done.  Listening to the songs of Lourdes Duque Baron has this nostalgic feel,  the kind that allows you to relax and just have fun, like the fine wine that gets better over time.

The album is a layer of disco, jazz, pop, rock and hip-hop, and well-selected tunes that still work their magic in the heart of listeners who are looking for crisp, honest and soul music. Her songs continue to recreate the mood of times past, a good interplay of old sounds and new technologies, but without trying hard. The songs of Lourdes Duque Baron is like candy that is beautifully wrapped and satisfying on the palette-

” To Be Loved” is enjoyable, romantic and reminiscent of the good times. WIth Lourdes Duque Baron’s rendition, the old became new again.  ” To Be Loved” exudes charm, it does not attempt to exaggerate, it is a simple, easy flow of relaxing and fun music.

Just like the song title, ” To Be Loved”, it would come as no surprise that the listener is transported to a romantic scene, it makes you want to fall in love again- to feel that burst of emotions for a few seconds- it gives you that warm feeling- you are reminded of the sensation of feeling attractive, wanted-and in the prime of your life.

Lourdes’ remake of Jackie Wilsons, To Be Loved feels right, it feels good. A song you can delightfully listen to on a rainy afternoon while you are reminiscing about moments where you felt alive because of love.
