Music reviews of Arrasando
Music Review: Eclectic, original, and I love it.
Rating: 4 Stars
LVV has always been known for their unique style, which always include experimentation. In this album, they have a sound that has been described as retro songo. In my opinion, it is more like they have taken operatic and broadway musical elements and added them to their music. This is specially true of the violins and electric guitar. This "concert hall" feeling is heard throughout this album, and it isn't plagued by the studio problems they have had in some of their past albums.
Vanessa Formell guests on "Un Tumbao pa los dos" and just like with Diego "El Cigala" in the Chapeando album, they match is truly made in heaven. However, just like "El Cigala" don't expect Vanessa to play by the vocalization rules of timba, she dwelves deep into pop territory.
LVV is not known for deep vocals, but in this album they were a bit too corny for me. In "La Rumba No" it is hard to take Mayito seriously complaining about only having guiro, flute, and guitar. In fact, I didn't know what his complaint referred to at all. Same with "El Trasvesti", which doesn't reach the level Pupy did with "Gato Por Liebre".
That said, while it may not be as good as Chapeando, it still is LVV, and their sound continues to lead the pack of Cuban timba bands.
