CDs

WhitneyWhitney Houston – I Look to You
Arista

The album is built on a strong message of survival and perseverance, and reflects the hard-earned lessons of the high-profile personal challenges Houston has encountered in recent years. A set of songs full of her signature vocal power and passion. A key song for the project is “Nothin’ But Love,” a propulsive dance groove.

A_FineA Fine Frenzy – Bomb in a Birdcage
Virgin Records

“Blow Away,” the breezy, propulsive first single from Bomb in a Birdcage, illustrates that the new album retains the tuneful and whimsical language of the debut, while adding new colors and textures. Lengthy tours alongside the likes of Rufus Wainwright and Brandi Carlile contributed to Sudol’s attraction to different sounds.

vallinVallín – Bendito Entre las Mujeres
Warner Music Latina

Un álbum de concepto, por demás interesante, en el que el multifacético guitarrista mexicano se hace acompañar por algunas de las mejores voces femeninas de México, Brasil y España que existen en la actualidad. Entre las itérpretes que lo acompañan están Ana Torroja, Natalia Jiménez, Joy Huerta, Ely Guerra, entre otras.

El disco fue grabado en Los Angeles.
