Julieta Venegas - "Me Voy"

[tortuga]

I am very excited for this new album. Hopefully she'll go back to her latin rock/alternative sound that made me fall in love with her and abandon the poppy stuff from her Sí album.

The name of the new album is Limón y Sal.  Interesting, lol. The first single is "Me Voy". No word when it will be released but I'll update once there are some news. I'm hoping for a 2006 release date at least.

Can't wait! Lmao @ limon y sal. yum.

[tortuga]

wow, I just saw an interview they did with her on LATV, she speaks very good English. :o

If you understand spanish, here's an article about the album and single.

Después del notable éxito de su anterior producción Si, la mexicana Julieta Venegas regresa a la escena musical con un nuevo álbum que se espera saldrá a la venta a finales de marzo. Por lo pronto, para aquellos fanáticos de la cantautora ya está listo el estreno mundial del primer sencillo, que lleva por nombre Me voy, para este 27 de marzo.

Bajo la dirección del argentino Cachorro López, con este nuevo material Julieta Venegas espera ofrecer de nueva cuenta otra grata sorpresa igual o mejor que su anterior producción Sí, la cual rebasó las 550 mil copias vendidas en toda la región.

Este nuevo disco incluye temas de la autoría de la propia cantautora mexicana y cuenta con la colaboración de Coti Sorokin como coautor de tres canciones.

En comentarios de la propia Julieta, el disco será más rockero en comparación con el anterior, aunque no perderá los elementos aprendidos del pop.

De acuerdo a información de su disquera (Sony BMG), ya está listo el estreno mundial del primer sencillo Me voy, para este 27 de marzo. Un tema que corresponde totalmente a la autoría de la mexicana, bajo la dirección de Cachorro López, y cuyo video se filmará en argentina para estrenarse los primeros días de abril.

Ganadora de múltiples Premios Internacionales entre los que destacan el Grammy Latino, los MTV Video Music Awards, Premio Lo Nuestro y Oye, así como nominada al Grammy (anglo) y Las Lunas del Auditorio, Julieta Venegas ha demostrado que el papel de la mujer en la música, pero sobre todo en el rock, cada vez adquiere más presencia y trascendencia musical.

Actualmente, más activa que nunca, Julieta ha participado con su granito de arena en campañas por la paz del mundo al lado de Shakira y Juanes, entre otros.

The album is coming out sooner than I thoght! It says on the article that it will be on sale by the end of March. Wow, so soon. :o The single premieres on March 27th.

Awesome. I've liked her previously released material, so I'm anticipating this new album.

[Control]

wow, so soon? it seems like the last single from Sí was just out not that long ago

and isn't it odd that the article says the album will be out in late March, but the first single won't even premiere until March 27, and the video won't be out until early April?

usually the first single should be out at the least a month before the album.. but ok lol

and it says it'll be more rock than the last album, so maybe you'll be happier with it ;)

On first impression, I was worried. But I don't mind that she picked a feel good little pop song for her first single.  There's more accordion in this and no electronic beats so thats good.

[tortuga]

Debuts at #22 on the spanish contemporary chart.

[[upsilon]™]

I like this one.

[josecharts]

I also love the video...

[tortuga]

This is just as poppy as her other singles from her last album so it should have no problem.

and the album OFFICIALLY comes out on June 6.

Tortuga: what's wrong with poppy? Just because something is pop doesn't make it bad.

I happen to really dig this track. It's such a chill out song. I will probably buy the cd but later on. I like Julieta Venegas' collaboration with Coti Sorokin. He's such a brilliant singer/songwriter. True, I do miss her older sound but the girl's got sell records so she can eat.

Sure would like her to find a balance between her old alternative stuff and the new synth-pop. Furthermore, she's awesome in concert.

[tortuga]

Yeah, I do agree that there's nothing wrong with being poppy. But when Julieta records rock she is capable of producing some really creative and innovative songs like "Bueninvento", "Hoy No Quiero", "Enero Y Abril", "Me Van A Matar", "De Mis Pasos".... I can go on.

Unlike many other rock acts that try to record pop songs, Julieta can pull off the pop thing really well without being generic. I'm just bummed that we migth never get to hear her ambitious and genuis side again.

And there's no synth-pop on her new album, its mostly folky stuff like what we heard in "Oleada" and then there are two songs with rappers that are good but I would've been fine without them. But overall, the album is really impressive, I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it.

This is how I would rank her albums now:

1. Bueninvento
2. Aqui
3. Limon Y Sal
4. Si

I saw a video on MTV S from Julieta's Bueninvento album, and eventhough it was just a few years ago she looked like a completely different person. I can't remember what the song was but she sounded a lot like Andrea Echeverri on it. And there were a lot of little girls lyp-synching to the song.

From her older stuff, I really dig "hoy no quiero" and her conver of Los Tigres del Norte's "la jaula de oro."

That was the song "Seria Feliz". Probably the only song on Bueninvento that is in the borderline of being poppy.

Ok, so I hear this song 24/7 on the radio and MTV S. The weird thing is I like it even more than when I first heard it. I figured I would get tired of it really quick. No doubt it will end up on my year's end list of top singles along with the ubiquetous but aggressively catchy "atrevete te-te" by Calle 13.
;)

Will probably pick up the LIMON Y SAL album pretty soon.

[strong4PMB!]

I like this jam!

[620 Soul Train]

This is the first Spanish only song that has ever entered my charts. I absolutely like this song as well as the video clip.

[tortuga]

Its about to leave my chart already but I still like it. It never got annoying or anything.

[[upsilon]™]

It's mad catchy, but it left my chart like a month ago.
