Hey there...
I wasn't sure if I should post this here, but I need a non partial opinion, and I think this group can be considered in "Light Pop", so I thought, let's give it a try and see what they think.
La Oreja de Van Gogh (Van Gogh's ear) is one of the best Spanish pop groups since the late 90s. In a time that English-speaking artists monopolyze the pop and rock world (they deserve it, noone doubts that the best ones are English-speaking) and the most sucessful music in Spanish is latin-pop, they achieved a quite good sound and originality in a more european pop style.
Well, but, as I said, I wanted a non partial opinion. The thing is that one year ago, after more than 10 years together, the singer of the group left to start her own career. The group got a new singer. And now, I just noticed they recorded a new version of one of their first hits. Of course, I have my own opinion about it, but wanted to see what would you say, since I guess it will be the first time you hear the group.
The song is: Cuentame al oído (Tell me to the ear). You llike the song? And what version you prefer?

If you like it and want to know the meaning of the lyrics, I can try to find a translation or translate it myself (wouldn't be the first time translating songs).
