3.5 greatBedex | September 1st 24

Natalia x Natalia (this is largely an album of covers of herself) x the cheesy extraness of a 1970s spy movie soundtrack, especially in the strings x a vast array of latin genres that I know too little to delineate. On paper this is an utterly Bedecore combination, and indeed I enjoyed most tracks. The opener is ultra fun, and Veracruz early on is brilliant. A lot of tracks do however feel like they overextend, and so does the album as a whole. There is often an element or the other that hinders my appreciation of the track. For example, the new version of Mexican Hermosa is great, except the male vocals dualling with Natalia kind of break it for me and make it too cheesy - with the aforementioned genre combination, it's a fine line to walk. Also it turns out Natalia can do wrong, because the closer track is frankly the first time I find one of her tracks outright bad. That being said, most tracks are fun, and I will hear them again gladly. This album will contribute to her keeping the throne of most listened bede lastfm artist I am sure. [JBL car] 3.7

3.5 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | May 13th 20

The most Mexican record I've ever heard. This mixes bolero, mariachi, ranchera and other genres I don't know anything about. Natalia also re-recorded some of her older material (the always gorgeous Hasta la Raiz or Lo que construimos). As always with her, this is supremely sunny and chill music guided by her gorgeous voice. I'd say the hour-long format might be a tad challenging for non-Spanish speakers (which I totally am), and I still prefer the OG Hasta la Raiz version to the one here.
