a lot of people are talking about how pop is dead--it definitely isn't. but it isn't just timbaland and timberlake (amongst others) who are taking pop in its new directions. magnate, a puerto rican pop star who sings in spanish, is also making innovative strides in music by combining traditional latin pop sounds with reggaeton influenced beats. I just got his new cd Progresivo at work (umgd) and I can't get his single Nuestro Amor Es Asi out of my head! you can listen to the singles online at: myspace.com/magnate2007
