Description:	On her first collection of original, English-language material in five years, Gloria Estefan (aided, as always, by her producer/husband Emilio Estefan, Jr.) has produced a fine, mostly quiet record, with memorable songs and expert musicianship. Estefan has always had a strong voice, capable of belting out a note when it needs to be belted. But on DESTINY she seems content to concentrate on the more peaceful aspects of her music, while at the same time exploring the nuances of a surprisingly flexible, subtle vocal talent. The theme throughout is love, but not all is wine and roses: "Screaming in the silence/The promises we've spoken come back to haunt us". Almost every track contains Spanish-style acoustic guitar, and "Steal your Heart" goes all the way into flamenco. For the most part, though, DESTINY is slow, rolling calypso beats, congas and occasional strings--the stuff of moonlit nights and romantic encounters. If you're looking for the perfect record to throw on during your next candlelit dinner, look no further.
