Ana Barbara
 No Es Brujeria $13.49 La Reina Grupera Ana Brbara defiende su titulo como la mejor exponente entre su genero, y con cada lbum que nos presenta, se extiende ms catlogo de exitosas canciones. En "No Es Brujera," Ana Brbara compone y es productora por tercera vez. En esta ocacin la mayora de los temas son de la autora de la interprete, as dndole ms control de su msica. Los temas que ms me gustaron son "Si Tu Supieras," "No Te Dejar," "Llorar Quedito," y la cancin extremamente pegajosa "Slo Mo." Hay mucha ms de que hablar con Ana Brbara! Olviden los "escndalos," porque esta reina sigue complaciendo a los que realmente la quieren y apoyan. Cmpralo hoy!  Te Atrapar...Bandido $13.49 Cause this trumps her last few albums. Very energetic; good balance between fast and slow; and her wonderful voice. One problem: her baby. I'm glad that she is happy with her kid, but please leave him off your cd. He ruins a really good song. No more babies! Still, highly recommended.  Loca de Amar $11.98 Latina pop is a guilty pleasure for me. I'm a hard rock guitarist and my friends give me a hard time but this album is infectious. The songs get under your skin. I find myself singing them in the car. I like the traditional regional elements (like the accordion fills and bass lines) contrasted with the thick, melodic electric guitars. Honestly, it's like kettle corn. Salty, sweet, and of questionable nutrional value. But like a bag of kettle corn, I can't put it down! It's amusing that purists denounce her as being "false" ranchera. Listen, do you want "real ranchera" or would you rather have a good time? A true artist doesn't conform to a rigid set of arbitrary rules. They make the album they and their production team envision. This isn't music for the ages. It isn't meant to be. This is a solid, pop/mexicana album with strong hooks, on target songwriting and great production values. Did I mention I love the cover art? If I knew where to buy the t shirt ,I'd wear one onstage. |
