Free Music Review: So good, you won't think it's live!
Hit: 4 Stars
julieta, god bless you!!! i've been listening to this album for the past year and it hasn't gotten old yet (or ever). For all the haters out there, while i am a big fan of aqui and bueninvento, i'm so happy she went pop, because i don't know what i'd do without her. I sing along to her songs everyday and her songs have the ability to pacify babies! I loved the post-modern pop sounds of Si and simple (neo)folkish ways of limon y Sal. BUT the hallmark of her talent is the ability to create unique yet catchy melodies coupled by meaningful yet simple lyrics.
Whereas the last two albums possessed true understatement and restrain, this unplugged really brought IT in the instrumentation. In the world of pop, It's definitely inventive(the use of tuba, musical saw, vibraphone, string, banjo), but always precise and never indulgent, so the results always come off comforting and never forced. Julieta's voice is always in command, and it showcases versatility. The musical guests are super well selected.
Her new songs show a more introspective Julieta, but also perhaps a more political one. El presente is about loving and being in the present moment, even though the world is on the brink of destruction. Algun Dia is about the promise of self-improvement and realization. Ilusion, julieta's best ballad perhaps, is the mourning of the loss of ilusions through life. And mira la vida is an ode to feminine power and a tribute to pregnant women. These songs has taken a more worldly outlook than her usual intimate, relationship-based songs.
Julieta's sound continues treading forward into new ground: norteno-ska, polka-banda, tribal drums. While never abandoning her songwriting and melodies. I've never enjoyed a julieta album as much as this one, but perhaps it's because i'm getting a little bit of everything here. Still, I can't wait for what she's doing next.
MTV Unplugged Poster
On March 6th, Julieta Venegas recorded her MTV Unplugged at the Churubusco Studies in Mexico City, where she presented new songs besides interpreting some of her greatest hits in an intimate atmosphere to a live audience.This production counts on important and interesting collaborations like two time Oscar winner, Gustavo Santaolalla, who accompanied her with the banjo and sang the chorus of the song "Algun Dia (Someday)". Brazilian singer, Marisa Monte featured in song "Illusion", a new and beautiful song that combines the Spanish and Portuguese language.
Also Mala Rodriguez joined Julieta and included a strong hip hop movement to the song "Eres Para Mi (You are for Me)", whereas the vocalist of Porter, Juan Carlos had a unique participation in "Algun Dia (Someday)".
In addition, the very talented Natalia Lafourcade comprised of the orchestra and played several instruments during the night, whereas the talented musician and composer, Jacques Morelenbaum accompanied Julieta on the cello in "De mis Pasos (From my foot steps)".
People en Espa?ol
There's no doubt that Julieta Venegas is talented in the recording studio. Three great albums have proved her originality (Aqu?,, Bueninvento, S?) and the demand for her music (Lim?n y Sal sold a million copies). But on stage, Venegas doesn't exude much energy or passion, so making a live album was risky for her career. On the other hand, like Alanis Morissette, Venegas was born to sing in small and intimate acoustic concert venues, and away from the masses, she knows how to create the magic one can find in her albums. On MTV Unpluggged, Venegas invites performers like Natalia Lafourcade, La Mala Rodr?guez, Marisa Monte, and Juan Son to recreate new versions of her greatest hits that result in fresh and exciting collaborations. It's a great musical montage of her practically perfect career. --Ernesto S?nchez (People en Espa?ol
) No hay duda de que Julieta Venegas es talentosa en un estudio de grabaci?n. Tiene tres grandes ?lbumes que demuestran su originalidad (Aqu?, Bueninvento, S?) y un tropiezo en el pop desechable que a?n as? signific? millones de copias para la tijuanense ("Lim?n y Sal"). Sobre el escenario, sin embargo, Venegas no imprime energ?a ni pasi?n, y por eso, una realizaci?n de un ac?stico representaba un riesgo en su carrera. Para fortuna de la misma cantante, Venegas, al igual que Alanis Morissette, naci? para dar conciertos ?ntimos y ac?sticos, y alejada de las masas, s? sabe recrear la magia de sus discos. En MTV Unpluggged, Venegas invita a figuras como Natalia Lafourcade, La Mala Rodr?guez, Marisa Monte, y Juan Son, logrando nuevas versiones de sus grandes ?xitos que resultan excitantes y muy acertadas. Un buen recuento de una (casi) perfecta carrera. --Ernesto S?nchez (People en Espa?ol)
