Music reviews of A Corazon Abierto
Music Review: Alejandro STRIPPED down!
Rating: 5 Stars
Alejandro Fernandez's latest pop album is a fresher and more contemporary sound than his fans are accustomed to. Gone are the LUSH arrangements by a symphony orchestra. The focus instead is on a more personal, acoustic sound.
Usually when a performer attempts an "unplugged" album, the result is rough and raw. It is impossible for Alejandro's voice to ever be raw. It is soft and velvety, better than ever.
This album is hard to describe in many ways. The songs all have the same theme, love lost, regrets, a broken heart.
I am one of those die hard fans that ADORES the melodramatic LUSH over the top romantic power ballads that he is famous for. I am an incurable romantic! I love cheesy black and white movies on tv and the violins in the background.
As much as I love the classic, romantic sound........i can appreciate what Alejandro and Kike Santander have done here. The sound is so CLEAR and so SPARSE. Its as if you were listening to Alejandro in the corner club or café with a 3 piece ensemble. It is very intimate.
Many of the songs have just a hint of horns.....just enough to remind you that Alejandro is "Hecho En Mexico"! Its that slight touch of horns that makes the songs irresistible.
Then, just when you think the whole entire album is ballads........there is "Se Va" to WAKE YOU UP! It's a sort of David Bisbal goes to Mexico tune! I saw Alejandro perform this. Bisbal would be flying around the stage on this! Poor alex doesn't dance, but he makes up for it with 'interesting' moves of his own!
The last song on the album is a SALSA version of "Me Dedique a perderte" ! Watch out Marc Anthony! I would not have believed it either.
This album comes with many extras not normally included. There is a dvd that has 2 videos......"Me Dedique a Perderte" and "Luchare por tu Amor"........terrific concert tour footage that is SO CUUTEEE.....and a chronology that zips through ten years of videos in 60 seconds!
So the ranchera fans will probably not like this too much. They do not want Alejandro to change. However, he has so much talent, and so much potential. It would be a crime to hold him back. Who knows what he is capable of?
He is a work in progress, and the evolution is amazing to watch.
p.s. for the techies, the cd interacts with the official website. you pop it into the cd drive and ConnecteD will bring you to a page of behind the scenes videos and other exclusives.
Description of A Corazon Abierto
Import exclusive release from one of Mexico's most famous performers of romantic songs, ballads and traditional mariachi favorites. Sony. 2004.Ranchera heartthrob Alejandro Fernandez polishes up his sound on A Corazon Abierto, his first pop album since 2000's Entre Tus Brazos. That effort was marred by Emilio Estefan's bland production and repetitive instrumentation, but Fernandez diversifies on Corazon, enlisting the help of Aureo Baqueiro (Sin Bandera, Aleks Syntek) and Kike Santander, producer of choice for a dazzling roster of artists, including Thalia, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, and David Bisbal. They wrap Fernandez's swoon-inducing voice in lush instrumentation, veering from somber ballads ("Para Vivir," "Me Dedique a Perderte") to galloping uptempo tracks ("Se Va," "Canta Corazon"). Fernandez's mariachi sensibilities have often been muzzled during his pop-flavored outings, but the flamenco-guitar flourishes and blaring horns actually seem to play up his trademark sound and style. It makes for a confident collection that cleverly straddles both genres and makes the most of Fernandez's sexy--and often thrilling--voice. --Joey Guerra
