"Natalia Lafourcade blends perfectly the sound of three of the greatest female singers/songwriters out there today: fellow Mexican Julieta Venegas, Portugues Nelly Furtado and Colombian Shakira. If this sounds like a bit too much of a mix, think again. Natalia accomplishes it, by throwing in an extra element of mellow lounge feel a-la-Amigos Invisibles into the blend, accomplishing a groovy album that is bound to go up in the ranks of your iTunes' "Play Count".
Favorite tracks: I love the album as a whole, but if you ask me, I'd stick with "El Destino", "Elefantes", "Georgina" (one of the most interesting tracks in the album), "Mañana Olvidare" (with its clever low-fi production aproach) and "Mango (Remix)". This is one contagious album that will make you dance and think, while you keep on playing it once and again."

"This girl can really write music!!!.. Her lyrics are awesome. You'll hear her sing about the simple things in life like enjoying an ice cream, walking barefooted in the sand, amongst other things. Im very happy to say she's one of the best new artist Mexico has put out. UPDATE: you guys can also check out her new album CASA!! it rocks my world."

"This was Natalia's first album and I really like this album. Her lyrics are so simple, she sings about the simplest things in the world such as eating a mango, but she makes you think is she really singing about a mango?? Her songs bring a smile to your face. When she sings and performs you can feel it in your veins and your heart that she loves to perform and this comes right across the whole album."
BUENA HONDA!

"This CD is AMAZING. The vocals are great. I think the obvious comparison will be with Julieta Venegas, but the themes of their music are so different that I can't bring myself to make it. Natalia has fun with her music, and it's just an awesome cd to hear on a road trip or when you're relaxing at home. "Mango" and "En El 2000" stand out for me. BIEN HECHO!"
