Free Music Review: Alejandro, por favor....
Hit: 2 Stars
I declined to review A CORAZON ABIERTO because I was disappointed, but at least Alejandro redeemed those songs on the live CD that followed.
Here I have to say I was more disappointed. Perhaps in a quest to widen his audience Alejandro has taken on lesser material which is not up to his truly amazing voice. Anyone who listens to this CD to hear him for the first time will not know what his fans rave about or why women throw their bras onstage when he performs. The breathiness of his singing on this CD omits 90% of his supberbly sexy lower register, which is one of the traits that wins female hearts and plays with their hormones.
Those of us who fell in love with the voice we heard in "Morenita Mia" or "Granada" on his earlier live album almost don't recognize what we're hearing on this one in songs like "Tanto Amar" or "Solitario y Solo." Some of the songs on this CD are better suited to Ricky Martin and I felt that Beyonce ran roughshod over him in "Amor Gitana."
I hope he realizes that expanding his repertoire should not alientate his core audience. We'd rather hear him try tango or flamenco, which would at least use the most emotive elements of his truly fine voice while adding to his mystique.
Viento a Favor Poster
Viento a Favor is Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez's 15th studio disc in as many years as a singer. But he still approaches each project with the urgency and earnestness of a newbie singer. That's what makes each tune a small celebration, an intimate moment of discovery. There are no wasted moments amid the sterling arrangements, some of the best in Fernandez's lush pop repertoire. (He's an equally heralded ranchera singer.) Viento a Favor features tunes written by Leonel Garcia and Noel Schajris (better known as emotive Latin-pop duo Sin Bandera) and Mexican singer Reyli Barba. They're all taken to wuthering heights by Fernandez's stellar vocal range, which goes from hushed whispers to booming intensity. First single "Te Voy a Perder" is an epic romance, and "Amor Gitano," a duet with bilingual diva Beyonc?, expectedly smolders. Closing tune "Cuando Estamos Juntos" is another surprise, an acoustic-flavored ode to simple joy. --Joey GuerraLatin Music Music CDs
