Free Music Notes for Bueninvento
Free Music Review: Good Invention Indeed!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is perhaps one of the most crossover-friendly Latin alternative records to date. Check out the press feedback:"Bueninvento is an indispensable collection, showcasing a lightness of spirit and sense of humor - precisely what the field needs....Julieta Venegas emerges as one of the most creative voices in Latin music, with a set of songs that combine the offbeat sensibility of alternative rock with the melodic flair of commercial pop...[Bueninvento] is a work of art." - Ernesto Lechner, Los Angeles Times, 9/3/00
"Julieta Venegas' songs have the clear melodies and emotional impact that could make listeners sing along before they worry about the words." - Jon Pareles, New York Times, 8/17/00
"Bueninvento, the long-awaited sophomore album by Mexico City singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas, is as unfalteringly good and inventive as the title suggests. Her intentions are clear on 'Enero y Abril' as she hums a soulful, five-note chorus that needs no translation, speaking directly to the heart. Buen invento indeed!" - Enrique Lavin, CMJ New Music Report, 8/7/00
Free Music Review: Original and very refreshing!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this cd. The way she mixes different generes into her own sound comes out great. Her techno rock version of Juan Gab's "siempre en mi mente" is just outstanding as are "otro sol","fe","enero y abril","salvavidas" and the potential hit "sueño de sombras". Because of her unique style you must listen to each song in it's entirety for there are many mood changes and hidden surprises in each tune. You get 14 tracks with not 1 throw-on which is one of my pet peeves, so that is another +.This ranges to some dark pieces to some uplifting "feel good" parts, to some sexy,sentimental journeys...she does not have a superior voice, rather she keeps it simple, and the lyrics are fairly simple, although she does get deeper than most. She also is an excellent accordian player, she is the first I've heard to incorparate the accordian with rock,pop,techno,r&b.
I see no reason not to purchase this one immediatly.
Free Music Review: Julieta's best album
Hit: 5 Stars
I have had this album for a while, and just recently pulled it out again. Julieta is now a big name in the Spanish music industry due to the popularity of her new album, however, I think this album is her BEST.
She is one of the most innovative singers in pop/rock music today. Her sound is extremely unique, she cannot be compared, in my opinion, to ANYONE in the English or Spanish speaking music world. Her singing style is very playful, yet well orchestrated. She mixes rock, pop, and electro beats with accordeon sounds, piano, and guitar. You can listen to an immense amount of different sounds, even Mexican norteño music(Mexican polka).
If you are interested in listening to an exquisitely unique pop/rock sound, this is the best album to go by. The only comparison I think would do Julieta justice is to BJORK, not because she sounds like her, but because she has created an innovative style all of her own, one which cannot be boxed or matched.
Free Music Review: Transcendent!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you need proof that music is universal - that it transcends race, culture, and language - listen to Julietta Venegas. I usually only review books on Amazon, but I HAD to help get the word out about a singer America needs to discover. As Alanis is to Canada, Bjork is to Iceland, and Gwen Stefani is to SoCal, Ofra Haza was to the Middle East and Kate Bush is for England - so Julietta is to Mexico. Strong, talented, ENERGETIC and auto-replay worthy. As a native english speaker, I was surprised to find that this CD spoke to me louder than any other this year. The emotion that Julieta projects is all that's needed to get her message, and soon you'll forget that she's singing in spanish - and you'll be proud to say you dig the accordion. SERIOUSLY.
I guarantee - if you like any of the singers listed above, buy Bueninvento and you won't be disappointed.
Free Music Review: Julieta Venegas en todo su esplendor
Hit: 5 Stars
Como ya se ha comentado, este disco es realmente una evolucion para Julieta. Aunque, su album debut fue muy bueno, en "Bueninvento" Julieta saca a relucir su talento como instrumentista tocando la guitarra y el acordeon mas a menudo que en su anterior trabajo. Este disco tambien se lo recomendaria ampliamente a fans de los tacubos. Hay como tres o cuatro canciones en las cuales se nota el trabajo de los tacubos. Ademas, de la participacion de los tacubos en la produccion, tambien aparece en el disco Alvaro Henriquez del grupo chileno de Los Tres con arreglos instrumentales, mayormente en la guitarra. Bueno amigos, espero que esto les haya sido util. Viva Chile! Feliz 18 Chile!
