The four-member boy band Son By Four comes from Puerto Rico and makes latino pop, a genre that is very popular at the moment (Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Jody Bernal). The group consists of the brothers Javier and Georges Montes, cousin Pedro Quiles and Angelo Lopez. They have everything in house for the path to success: the tough image, the seductive appearance and of course the sultry R&B
… vocals. Purest Of Pain is the third album release. The CD consists of a series of latin-tinged R&B songs, so that the comparison with a southern version of Boyzone is easy. It's a fairly quiet album with a lot of ballads, including a rather redundant cover of Lionel Richie's You Are So Beautiful. Although not without merit in the genre, Son By Four is no more than just another vocal group that will not rise above ground level for long. (BP) _more
