We reviewed this song back in 2015 when Ex-Menudo member released the song and video on his Facebook back. Since then the links we had on that review, we decided to go back and review the single again. This time, it’s a little different.
Ray has since then published his music on Apple Music and the single “La Vi En Paris.” Just as I mentioned back in 2015, the music seems dark and powerful. The video he released then had a very noir feel to it and this song lends itself well to the image Ray attempted to capture. The song, “La Vi En Paris” is a soft rock ballad which showcases Raymond’s strong vocals. Its simplicity of standing in a studio singing is enhanced with shadows and lights. The song has a great beat to it and is quite enjoyable.
Originally at the same time, Ray released the English version to “La Vi En Paris” called “Addictive Love” but instead, the single featured the song, “Amame En La Noche.” I am impressed with this new track. It still has a distinctively dark underlying tone, but the chorus samples a bit of the island sounds. Together, that combination creates a very romantic sound that plays well with his vocals.
Ray Acevedo spent time in the Puerto Rican pop band, Menudo from 1985-1988. After Menudo, Ray recorded a few independent solo albums and has received praise for his acting abilities on stage in various productions in Florida.
Since that day, I have been study Latin pop and rock music and have become a Latin pop music historian through the publishing of articles, fanzine, and websites. My goal is to teach people about Latin pop music and the history behind it with my website, Siempre En Domingo.
