Summary: Does not disappoint
Comment: I saw Natalia y la Fourquetina in concert in San Luis Potosi this summer. I was very impressed with their sound. Natalia's voice, her sound, and her band are the real thing. I was especially excited to hear a couple of songs that she was playing in public for the first time. We liked these so much that my wife and I checked websites everyday waiting for this album to be released.
When we finally got the album and listened to it for the first time, I was slightly let down--but mostly because I was in a really big mood to listen to some bossa nova and only two or three songs were recognizably of that genre (or at least influenced by it).
The truth is, that once I sat down to listen to this album from beginning to end, I coudln't help but play it over and over again--non bossa nova songs and all.
Without a doubt, my favorites are "Casa" and "Cuando todo Cambia." Her version of "O Pato" is not my favorite (It's kinda cutesy, I like a sax version by Coleman Hawkins), but it's playful, fun, and an honest interpretation by a playful and fun band. But the album doesn't end there. There are many influences apparent here, from slightly punk to slightly pop to slightly jazzy. The key to this album is that you can't play it becuase you're in the mood for something specific. You play it because you're in the mood to sit back and experience a variation of genres, moods and sounds and simply see where it will all lead.
No comparisons to other artists should be made here. Natalia Lafourcade has very much become her own artist despite her strong musical influences. Let's hope more artists like her keep popping up in a suddenly rich and talented mexican pop music scene.

Summary: They still do write `em like that anymore.
Comment: This is the kind of rock album that most of us thought could have only been made in the LP era. Substantive, mind-expanding, and frighteningly catchy. Bass, guitar and keyboards are all played with gusto and without time-wasting solos. The band, La Forquetina, comes up with the kind of classic-rock, superficially meaningless lyrics that can be interpreted in many different ways and convey general emotions. And those lyrics are wedded to outstanding melodies, thanks to the genius of singer Natalia LaFourcade. Oh - and she's only 20. Paul and John were just getting to "she loves you, yeah, yeah yeah!" by then.
Natalia is blessed with a slightly quirky voice that will never be confused with anyone else's. Gone are the Julieta Venegas comparisons that surfaced with her 2002 debut single "Busca un Problema," and LaFourcade's apparent aping ("za-pa-a-to-os") of Venegas' tendency to stretch out words like Silly Putty. The fact is, LaFourcade can get away with some mannered vocals (such as on the title track and second single "Casa") because she's 20 and beautiful. Venegas is 34 and, well, it just wouldn't be as cute if she sang like that. Not fair, but true.
Most intriguing is "Saul," which Natalia sings from the point of view of a transvestite who was born male (hence Saul). She even lisps at one point: "solo quiero nieve de fressasss..." Is the song a sympathetic portrait or a frat-boy joke? Feel free to sit around all night discussing this with your friends. I said this was a new classic-rock album, right?

Summary: Mexican talent continues to grow
Comment: 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 was 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 words of the songs, again, denote a maturity lacking in contemporary Mexican artists, young and old alike. 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. Greetings from Vancouver, BC.

Editorial Reviews:

Natalia La Fourcade has joined her own band for Casa, the jangly and mature follow-up to her 2003 self-titled debut album. That may seem like a step backward for La Fourcade, but it makes perfect musical sense. She has known the trio that comprises La Forquetina since high school and toured extensively with them in support of her critically acclaimed first disc. That connection makes Casa a tight, focused affair: it incorporates cruchier guitars, heavier percussion and more thoughtful lyrics than its predecessor. La Fourcade has weathered constant comparisons to fellow edgy divas Nelly Furtado, Shakira, and Julieta Venegas, but the earthy vibe of Casa is all her own. "En Tus Ojos" is a pleading opener, the precious title track bounces on a wistful pop groove, and "Alimento" is a fragile highlight. It's all framed by a casual rock vibe, but there's enough musical diversity inside this Casa to put a smile on anyone's face. --Joey Guerra
