Music reviews of Commercial
Music Review: Still the cream of the crop
Rating: 4 Stars
Ah, Los Amigos Invisibles. Never has a group touched my musical sensibilities like these six fine gents. "Commercial" is the sextet's sixth offering, their fifth original album (their last disc, "Super Pop Venezuela," was their own versions of various past Latin hits) and as with all other LAI discs it is an eclectic mix of rock, Latin, funk, jazz and dance ... sometimes all rolled up into one! For me, the best tune is easily "Dulce," ("Sweet") a jammin' foot tappin'-head swivlin' offering that highlights songwriter/guitarist José Luís Pardo's ("Cheo") Nile Rodgers-esque funk guitar in concert with José Rafael Torres' ("Catire") thumpin' bass line. The female voices that accompany Julio Briceño's always-stellar vocals make for pure melodic glee. "Mentiras" ("Lies"), the first [video] release off the album, is next on my list of most-kickin' tunes. "Mentiras" is vintage LAI -- an extremely well-written song that accents each band members' best -- but at the same time its lyrics are as facetious and as devious as ever! "Plastic Woman" really tickles my fancy; if you know anything about LAI you'll know they're huge fans of the dance-funk bands of the 70s/early 80s, and here they make use of a classic Vocoder which accentuates the main vocals absolutely perfectly! But hey -- again, that's what LAI does best, after all: incorporate myriad genres into a sound uniquely their own!
Also worth repeated listenings are the beautiful "Loco Por Tu Amor" ("Crazy For Your Love") which features percussionist Mauricio Arcas on lead vocals and sounding possibly the best that he ever has; "Oyeme Nena" ("Listen To Me, Baby") is a very nice traditional Latin rhythm offering; and, "In Love With You," an agreeable slow rocker, demonstrates that Julio Briceño has lost virtually all his accent when singing in English.
Great job, mis panas!
Description of Commercial
Since their 1995 debut, this multiple Grammy-nominated group has developed a sound based in the gozadera, an irresistible fusion of Latin rhythms with fiery funk and lounge music. After discovering one of their albums in a record shop, David Byrne signed the band to his label Luaka Bop, which in turned opened international doors for the group, helped them expand their sound, and helped establish them in the dance music scene. On this album, they enlisted a variety of special guests from Jorge Gonzalez (of Chilean rock legends Los Prisioneros) to Mexican songstress Natalia Lafourcade. Their most accessible work yet.Dance & DJ CDs
