Free Music Review: she's what they said she is..greatness!
Hit: 5 Stars
recently i read a full article about julieta venegas. i had neverheard of her before but the articlehad enough power to propel me tobuy this cd,'aqui.' she seemsto have been inspired in part bytori amos as evidenced by the pianoat the very beginning of the disc.her creativity and musicianshipgive new meaning to the use of theaccordian. who knew?? the songwriting is in the pocket! this girlknows what she's doing. this isan interesting array of musicalstyles. pop, hip-hop, salsa, jazzwith alternative/rock overtones.not everyone will embrace her vocals. i had this disc on at workand my boss moved onto the next cdin the player 2/3 into it cause shehad enough. what she lacks in compelling vocal ability/range, etc...she makes up for in emotional delivery. i have a very sensitive/picky ear when it comes to vocalsand i will pick up nuances thatmany others don't. i cant help iti seem to have been born with this.i want to give kudos to the producer who apparently is THE prodoucer of alternative music inmexico. his work is on par with thebest in the u.s. i am disappointedmany times by the recording qualityon cd's in the u.s. therefore, iwas so happy to be able to blastthis cd and maintain full, vibrantclarity on all levels in my carwhich is where i do most of my music listening. i wait on batedbreath for julieta's next release.hopefully soon. she has got to bedestined for international fame!Free Music Review: Su musica reta cualquier comparacion posible

Al escuchar su album "Bueninvento" (quiero aclarar que este es mucho mejor en mi opinion) me pasaban por la mente los nombres de Andrea Echeverri (Aterciopelados) y Ana Torroja (Mecano). Ahora que escucho este album, pienso en interpretes del calibre de Tori Amos, Paula Cole y Alanis Morrissette. Y la verdad es que la musica, letras y canto de de Julieta Venegas, una bella mujer originaria de Tijuana, Mexico, retan cualquier comparacion posible.Algunos datos, para que se convenzan: compuso letra y musica de casi todos los temas del album; canta con dejo bien particular, casi "brincadito" pero sin resultar jamas chocante; interpreta el piano (instrumento fundamental a lo largo del album) asi como el acordeon y el vibrafono (en su siguiente album, toca guitarra); sus letras tienen un profundo sentido social, y son super interesantes a la vez.
Tantas cosas se pueden decir de Julieta Venegas, y en particular de su album debut, "Aqui," que lo mejor que puedo hacer es recomendarselo casi a ciegas. El album, con una exquisita produccion del gran Gustavo Santaolalla y la colaboracion de numerosos talentos del Rock Mexicano, va creciendo dentro de uno, a medida que uno lo va descubriendo: yo lo compre hace un par de semanas, y no puedo dejar de escucharlo!
Free Music Review: REFRESHING LYRICS AND INTERESTING USE OF THE ACCORDEON.
Hit: 5 Stars
AS A FOLLOWER OF ROCK IN SPANISH, YOU CAN EASILY GET USED TO A LOT OF THE SAME, THIS CD OFFERS SEVERAL REFRESHING INNOVATIONS. FIRST OF ALL THIS IS A YOUNG WOMAN AND ALTOUGH THAT WITHIN ITSELF IS NOTHING NEW. WHAT IS NEW IS THE FACT THAT SHE DOESN'T TRY TO IMITATE WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BY ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BAND, SHE DOESN'T TRY TO SNEAK IN TO THE MUSIC SCENE WITH A WARM & FUZZY ALBUM, SHE COMES RIGHT AT YOU AND LETS YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW SHE FEELS AND THINKS. ANOTHER INTERESTING DETAIL ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS THE FACT THAT SHE WRITES AND COMPOSES HER OWN MUSIC, WHICH AGAIN GIVES HER THE FREEDOM TO TAKE YOU ON HER JOURNEY NOT ONLY WITH HER WORDS, BUT ALSO BY PAINTING HER OWN BACKGROUNDS WITH THE MUSIC. HER USE OF THE ACCORDEON IN MUSIC OTHER THAN REGIONAL TEXAN MUSIC IS ALSO NOTEWORTHY. SOMETHING THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS THE FACT THAT THE MEXICAN MEDIA RUSHED TO LABEL HER MUSIC AS ROCK. IN SHORT, I THINK THIS IS THE BEST DEBUT I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME, AND! SHOULD NOT TO BE MISSED.Free Music Review: bravo!! bravo!! bravo!!

This most excellent, hip, new up and coming queen of modern rock in spanish can really hit a tune. Can you say--extreme acapelo!! my God what a voice!! I have seen her concert and besides being the gorgeous bodacious queen she is .. she delivers an electrifying show with spectra lights, smoke, and oooh...darkness. Julieta is her name and she is the only artist I have ever seen to rock an accordian with such ease..(this is a hefty instrument). Time- magazine knew exactly what they were doing putting Julieta on the cover of their up and coming latin rock stars issue... Feel the music.. feel the spiritualism.... and if you like ..feel the bass.. yes it sounds great with or without it!! JULIETA!! JULIETA!! JULIETA!! HURRY WITH THE NEXT ALBUM.. I AWAIT EAGERLY!! ANXIOUSLY!!.....HURRY!!Free Music Review: LA MILAGROSA

What else coud you expect from the author of one of thegreatest rock en espanol songs in the history. "Pobre de ti"from the group Tijuana NO was written by la Venegas when she was part of the group. She left the city of Tijuana to go to the "capital". Its obvious that she turned into this great songwritter. Her music has everything on it, its agressive in a very "sutil" way. Her music brings up different moods dragging you into diffenrent worlds.There is nothing missing from this album and is a definetly buy. Look for her new album that should be coming out soon, I heard she has a band now. May be her twin sister is in it !!!!!!
