Too Good for Me
July 12, 2008
RIGO LUNA
R&B crooner Rigo Luna scored a Spanish-language hit in 2006 with ballad "Nunca," but has opted for English for his latest slow jam. Lyrically, it seems like a good choice, with "Too Good for Me" eschewing the sappiness of "Nunca" for a more plain-spoken vibe. Simple beats and lush guitar are just enough to back Luna's vocals, and the lyrics sound like they were written in a schoolyard during recess: "You're my Maria in this 'West Side Story'/ I'm used to hustlin', you're used to shopping in Saks for designer bags/Me, I'm switchin' tags." The simple, catchy approach makes it radio-friendly enough for crossover potential; if fans of his Spanish hit follow, Luna will prove you can have it both ways.—Ayala Ben-Yehuda
