CDs
Sade – Soldier of Love
Epic
The feel of the music this time had moved away from the old country soul styling of Lover’s Rock and assumed a more eclectic identity. With songs such as the joyously quirky reggae chant Babyfather, and the dramatically arranged album opener The Moon and the Sky, Sade are exploring new territory.
Camila – Dejarte de Amar
Sony Music Latin
Uno de los nuevos grupos musicales más exitosos y prometedores, Camila, ¡está de regreso! Su primer sencillo, es una balada titulada Mientes. Han sido tres años de triunfos ininterrumpidos desde que Camila sacó su primer álbum, Todo Cambió, y ahora están de vuelta, con música más poderosa, romántica y conmovedora.
Contra – Vampire Weekend
KL Recordings
Contra pulls off a series of impressive feats: It chews ravenously through sound palettes and rhythms, and yet it’s nimble and assured. The songs are catchy, fast, twinkling, clattering – the darker themes of loss, doubt and regret accumulate almost imperceptibly, but they land a powerful blow.
Aleks Syntek – Métodos de Placer Instantáneo
EMI Music México
Para Métodos de Placer Instantáneo, Aleks buscó que músicos de diferentes ritmos trabajaran con él, entre los que están algunos de ensamble de orquesta, salsa, rock y, obviamente pop, por lo que este disco es una mezcla de colores y sabores con los que el cantautor busca reinventarse. Loca es el primer sencillo.
Los Chieftains – San Patricio
Disquera Fantasy
El album de el grupo de música Irlandés más celebre del mundo revive la leyenda del batallón de San Patricio, héroes desconocidos de la Guerra mexicano-norteamericana con la aparición de invitados especiales como Linda Ronstadt, Liam Neeson, Lila Downs, Los Tigres del Norte, Carlos Nuñez entre otros.
