Mis Planes Son Amarte

As a lyricist, Juanes has been compared to John Lennon, as a humanitarian to Bono. He has sold 15 million albums and has honors to spare. So what more does the Colombian singer-songwriter aspire to? Well, there was his boyhood dream of becoming an astronaut… His latest album—marrying guasca and cumbia to classic rock—is an elegant, passionate collection of a dozen love songs; based on music alone, they rank among his best. It also has 12 accompanying videos, giving the songs a narrative visual track, with Juanes as an astronaut traveling through space and time to find the love of his life—traversing dreamscapes and forests, pursuing phantoms in tropical bars, down dark streets and drinking an ayahuasca brew to aid in his quest. In “El Ratico” (We’re Running Out of Time, duet with Kali Uchis), he muses on the breakup fueling his mission: “I wanted to give you blue sky/And a trunk full of memories.” He sorts through love-resentment issues in “Hermosa Ingrata” (Beautiful Ingrate): “If I had known a little more, I wouldn’t have gotten involved,” he protests, “I won’t play your game any more.” “Alguna Vez” (Once, featuring Fonseca) asks, “Have you ever gone mad loving?” His soul mate floats beside him in the title track, which reveals a double meaning—when sung, it can be “My plans are to love you” or “My plans are… to Mars: “It doesn't matter if fate has already decided/I've left fears behind/We're going to win against all odds.” Does he find his love? The audio/visuals are too impressionistic to be sure, but this is an optimistic, fresh and imaginative project. Juanes may not be a real astronaut, but “Mis Planes Son Amarte” is out of this world. — worldlisteningpost.com

Wow, this is a great album. I'm not a music critic so I'm not really sure how to describe it in those terms but the bottom line is the songs are great. To me they are very consistent with his style but still new and fresh. Just great music that will have you singing along. I've been learning Spanish for one and half years and Juanes is by far my favorite musician to aid my learning because (1) the songs are extremely listenable . . over and over . and (2) the lyrics are pretty easy to hear and understand. I am very much hoping that Juanes will do a US tour soon and I'll be able to hear him again in concert. After a week of listening, these songs are in my head. Just buy the album; you will not regret it!Mil gracias a Juanes. Su musica he estado un gran parte de mi exito en español y mi mundo está creciendo.

This visual album is great . All 12 songs are connected by a story/movie 1 hour long. I love the rythm and it is great to see a new Album from Juanes and the Dvd is a bonus on top of the cd. The item description mentioned the Dvd was not included and had to ship 3 to 4 weeks but that is incorrect. I got the case which includes 1 Cd and 1 Dvd . The Cd has a beautiful metallic red mars surface theme and the Dvd shows Juanes as an astronaut floating in space. I loved the Dvd story / song videos and can't wait to start playing the Cd in my car. I recommend it . It is mostly in spanish but it also has 1 song in english. Also the included booklet has some nice space art. Great visual album. I took some pictures to convince you to get this amazing album.

Great music, and the visual album really adds a whole different level to it! The story is excellent, and in general Juanes continues to do wonderful and creative things with both his music and the format. Also, the collaborations with other artists are well-integrated into the story while also just being great music! I would highly recommend this one, especially if you've already heard and enjoyed any of Juanes' work.

Incredible mix of modern pop and traditional Latin beats... Juanes keeps true to his style and roots in Latin world music while bringing modern pop music/Latin pop to the mix, and the results are incredible! As always, the lyrics are powerful and full of meaning, and the music is the backdrop to the story. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this album from track 1 to 12. It's one of his best works. I own every album Juanes has produced. I definitely recommend this one.

I would recommend this amazing album to anybody. It completes me. That is how good of an album this one is. Juanes does it again and awes us with his creativity and music.

My new favorite artist. Not even kidding. Even though I found he's been putting music out for a long time now. Learned of Juanes from PlayStation Rockband, don't judge. He needs more music added to the system.
