Luz III
1985 album
Luz III is the third studio album of the Spanish female Rock singer-songwriter Luz Casal released in 1985, only one year after "Los ojos del gato" (her previous work). The singer started working in this third album short after finishing the recording of her preceding album and after its subsequent tours and TV appearances. As usual, Casal wrote most of the nine songs except from one cover and some other collaborations. Carlos Narea, and Roque Narvaja, were, as usual, the executive producers of this album amongst others.
Style
Luz Casal started evolving from her initial, but still remaining Rock'n Roll and Hard rock style to a more adult focus. The first three tracks that open the album, which were the ones that were released as Maxi singles, were the typical youthful rock songs that filled the Spanish airplay charts during the 1980s. "Rufino" (Rufus) arguably the most popular single from this release was composed by Carmen Santonja, one of the two members of the popular band Vainica Doble. This song tells the story of an old, but at the same time cheerful and kind businessman who tries to seduce a young girl. "Voy a por ti" (I'm heading towards you), the next single, for which was recorded a promotional video, and "Hechizado" (Charmed), the following one, also share the same rock essence.
The following tracks, which are more calmed, are this time the most worth of note songs.
