Released under the long shadow of the tremendous success of Mecano's debut the year before, Olé Olé’s first work is an undisguised attempt to repeat the move on the part of the CBS label. It even resorted to the same producer (Jorge Álvarez) and a composition loaned by Nacho Cano himself to boost Vicky Larraz and his bandmates. That song, “No Controles”, is a tune about youthful rebelliousness that stands above the rest of the tracks. No matter how hard they tried, neither Gustavo Montesano nor Luis Carlos Esteban came close to the compositional level of Mecano’s keyboardist, who was a machine when it came to making instant hits. Even so, Olé Olé stood out among most of their generation’s peers, thanks to the voice and charisma of Vicky Larraz, who was replaced three years later by the even more explosive Marta Sánchez.
