Enrique Iglesias - Escape

The embracing ballad "Hero", the first single from 2001’s Escape, became a post – September 11th comfort to the U.S., and subsequent singles, "Escape", which Billboard said, "fosters a feeling of well-being and hope", and the current "Don’t Turn Off The Lights", are radio staples. Enrique made history with Escape, when he became the first Latin artist to reach #1 on the U.K. sales charts. Escape is also the best selling album in the U.K. this year

One of the most exciting performers in the world, Iglesias is renowned for his charismatic live performance and for his ability to establish a rapport with his fans that "makes his audience swoon", and keeps them "on their feet screaming and dancing" from first song to last. "Touring is my favorite thing to do," he says. "I love the adrenaline I feel when I’m on stage and the energy I get from my fans."

Enrique Iglesias’s fall tour promises to be one of the most successful of the season. The first leg of the tour drew critical raves. Delivered by a crack l0-piece band, his material in concert "retains the well-crafted pop charms that make them radio staples", wrote one reporter. "Delightful!" said the NY Daily News. The Fall leg of a 30-city string of dates kicks off on September 3 in Montreal, and makes its way across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico in venues such as Madison Square Garden Miami’s American Airlines Arena, the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional.

When Iglesias performs tracks from Quizas on tour, the full range of his growth as a songwriter and musician will be revealed. "We grow from experience," says Iglesias who has had plenty the past few years. "So my music is always changing and in constant evolution. My first album is completely different to the last album. I just follow my own taste on music." And as experience has taught all of us, his fans are sure to follow.
