Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–15

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    "Live It Up Tonight" promotes inclusiveness over a driving dance beat.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Some songs are highly suggestive, though not quite explicit.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    "Addicted" (in both Spanish and English) is about being addicted to love.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Seven

Parents need to know that Enrique Iglesias' smoldering sexiness seems designed to turn young ladies to jelly. Many of the songs on this CD are about love and making love, and one or two stop just short of graphic explicitness ("The Way You Touch Me," "Free"). The seductive sounds are softened by stylized pop arrangements. Beware: Some teens will find it cheesy.
