Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0886971011128 Label: Sony International Manufacturer: Sony International MPN: 710111 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony International Release Date: June 26, 2007 Studio: Sony International Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Viento a Favor is Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez's 15th studio disc in as many years as a singer. But he still approaches each project with the urgency and earnestness of a newbie singer. That's what makes each tune a small celebration, an intimate moment of discovery. There are no wasted moments amid the sterling arrangements, some of the best in Fernandez's lush pop repertoire. (He's an equally heralded ranchera singer.) Viento a Favor features tunes written by Leonel Garcia and Noel Schajris (better known as emotive Latin-pop duo Sin Bandera) and Mexican singer Reyli Barba. They're all taken to wuthering heights by Fernandez's stellar vocal range, which goes from hushed whispers to booming intensity. First single "Te Voy a Perder" is an epic romance, and "Amor Gitano," a duet with bilingual diva Beyoncé, expectedly smolders. Closing tune "Cuando Estamos Juntos" is another surprise, an acoustic-flavored ode to simple joy. --Joey Guerra Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great CDGreat CD with many good songs. If you liked his previous romantic albums you will definitely enjoy this one. Rating:  - I expected something betterAlejandro Fernadez has a nice powerfull voice. I love his mariachi albums. His ealier pop cds were not too bad, but this one is very disappointing. He does not sing to his potential, the material selected is boring, the duet with that female pop singer is horrible. It looks that Alejandro tries too hard to conquer the crowd of teenagers. Rating:  - Alejandro, por favor....I declined to review A CORAZON ABIERTO because I was disappointed, but at least Alejandro redeemed those songs on the live CD that followed. Here I have to say I was more disappointed. Perhaps in a quest to widen his audience Alejandro has taken on lesser material which is not up to his truly amazing voice. Anyone who listens to this CD to hear him for the first time will not know what his fans rave about or why women throw their bras onstage when he performs. The breathiness of ...

Rating:  - A victory for Alex!I eagerly anticipated the release of this album. Alejandro is taking risks to broaden his fan base while creatively challenging himself. I commend him for his efforts. I like the "new Alex" & it looks good on him. He cut and dyed his hair and now prefers suits and jackets. "Wind In My Favor" defines where he is personally, professionally and spiritually. His present tour production even has a different feel and I have to say I am excited for him because you can feel his joy in every song and note. ... Read More |
