Pafuera Telaranas, the debut disc from Spanish singer Bebe, spins a hypnotic web of alternately moody and joyous pop treats. The album doesn't immediately catch fire after initial listens, but Bebe's playful delivery and thoughtful lyrics ultimaltey shine through. They make
Pafuera Telaranas an enjoyable alternative to so many of Latin pop's kewpie-doll cuties. The album flirts with ska rhythms ("Ska de la Tierra"), hushed balladry (the mournful "Cuidandote") and experimental a capella interludes ("Razones"). Bebe's chirpy vocals anchor each song, a mix of Juleta Venegas' weary sensuality and Gwen Stefani's streetwise sweetness. Bebe even seems to channel Ashlee Simpson's raspy rock flavor during "Con Mis Manos"--although the acclaimed singer would likely frown on the comparison. "Malo," a harrowing, flamenco-flavored tale of domestic abuse, is the album's emotional centerpoint. It builds to an impressive climax. Equally enjoyable, but alternately joyous, is "Siete Horas," a wistful countdown to a lovers' meeting stuffed with DJ scratches and rapid-fire vocal tricks. Bebe proves adept at adapting herself to diverse themes and styles, and it makes
Pafuera Telaranas an inspired pop treat.
