I must say, this album is not nearly as good as the first one. But let me first explain that "Natalia LaFourcade" was a brilliant album, of a world-class calibre. I don't know if Natalia truly is a singer-song writer; the complexity and maturity of the songs and the craft of the compilations led me to question how an 18 year old girl could originate such wonderful music. I have never seen her in concert: perhaps her performance may yet verify the veracity of this claim. Nonetheless, the resulting "Natalia Lafourcade" was a great flow of melody and song. It was, in effect a great delicacy of a promising young artist. To return to the current disc, let me praise the courage of all the artists and producers. Despite falling short of the first production, "Casa" includes the bossa nova roots (O Pato, a previous production) as well new experiments like "Tic Tac". The power of her voice can be heard in "Cuarto Encima", and "Casa" is a feel-good romantic song in which the same voice seems as smooth as silk. This continues a trend in the improvement of the quality of Mexican music, of what once was a romantic-ballad wasteland during the 70's and the 80's. Natalia has been compared to Bebe, the flamenco fusion artist. This comparison must be based in talent alone, as the music genres are quite different. Julieta Venegas, a closer comparison, succeeds much like Natalia in maintaining a distinct musical character. Bebel Gilberto also comes to mind, for the exact same reason. No matter what genre you prefer, however, I dare say that you would be pleased to hear the soft melody of Natalia's voice. Don't be fooled by her young looks: both her albums denote a complexity often lacking in young pop stars. But don't take my word for it. Buy it, and make your own judgment. I doubt you will be disappointed.
