Is it me or did IDELEBLE only come out like a year and a half ago? Either way, La Guzman returns with a new album, FUERZA, due out November 20. This is the first single, and it has already been released to radio. I have never been her biggest fan, but I like the sound on this track. It's a little more alternative rock than any of INDELEBLE's mopey ballads. But it's the song's sappy lyrics that once again make it ultimately disappointing.
I wish La Guzman would stop trying to convince all of us that she's a rock act. Anway, here's the link to the song:

Yeah, only two singles from Indeleble. Thats usually a sign that the album itself was terrible.
The guitar riff in this songs sounds very familiar, but its nice. I think this may be one of her best songs in a long time.
and I don't think she has convinced anyone of her being a rock artist. Everytime I read or see articles about rock en espanol artists, she's never mentioned or acknowledged, not even when they talk about the female's in the genre. Its usually focused on Ely Guerra, Julieta, and Andrea E, and sometimes even Shakira. Gloria Trevi is also left out. Thank God!

I heard INDELEBLE has been her best-selling album in a long time, so I don't know. But you're right the riffs are somewhat familiar. The first time I heard it, I thought it was an older song. Then I was taken by surprise when I realized it was La Guzman's new single. |

Its hard to believe "Volverte A Amar" is known as the biggest hit of her career. Yuck! I'm not much a a fan, but songs like "Miralo" or "Mala Hierba" will always remain classics in her catalog.
Thats why I like this song, because it sounds like her old stuff.

I personally don't like this song but I have been palying it at the end of the night in the club and I noticed people do like it... I think that she stopped promoting indeleble because of her cancer scare, the surgery she had to remove the cancer... she had to take time for herself and for me the best classic song of hers is hacer el amor con otro...

Oh, I never knew she had cancer. :o Neither did I. I hope she's ok now. I'm not a big fan of her music, but she seems like a nice enough person. |

Nice song, with her classic rocky sound.
Mmmm...
Rock en Espanol without Alejandra Guzman being mentioned ???
Let me say that is UNFAIR.
Julieta, Andrea, Ely, whoever are mid to late 90s artists. What about before them?
Who were the first Female Acts to put some Rock spice in the ultrasappy, bubble gummy Latin Pop radios in the late 80s, early 90s?
First Place: Alejandra Guzman
Second Place: Gloria Trevi
It's not a matter of saying they are great or truly ROCK artists in the complete sense of the word, they were more Pop-Rock, but still hey they did their work and they played their role in terms of leading the way for ROck Female Acts in Mainstream LAtin music.
And Alejandra's own personal favorite type of music is Rock, so her music has always been Rock-oriented. Besides, her raspy voice complements that.
And about her 'classics':
- Hacer el Amor con Otro was one of the BIGGEST songs of the decade.
- Eternamente Bella, with HEACO it's her signature song, the first she was known of.
- Llama por Favor was also a big hit and popular at that time
- Te Esperaba, not as big as the others, but very special and emotional dedicated to her newborn daughter
And, then you have the other popular ones: Mala Hierba, Mirala Miralo, Guera (dedicated to Paulina Rubio!).
Volverte a Amar was her Comeback song and put her again in the spot with a good song.
I hope she gets success with this album. SO far, this single keeps jumping on the BB Latin chart. But I still want another better song from the album

I see now. I think the journalists who write articles of these females tend to focus more on the 90s girls since they were pretty much underground and hitless at the time. They belong in the same group. You can definitely hear something similar in the music of Julieta, Ely Guerra, and Aterciopeladoz. Its more alternative than rock seeing how they like to mix bossa nova, electronica, and other weird genres in their music.
But if you listen to Gloria Trevi and Alejandra. Their music is more straight-forward rock and catchy.

No offense, but if you're saying that Alejandra Guzman paved the way for Ely Guerra and Andrea Echeverri (Aterciopelados) you are out of your mind. First, they were not influenced by Alejandra. Second, Guerra & Echeverri have yet to truly crossover into the mainstream like Alejandra so your comment doesn't really make sense. |

I LOVE this! I'm not a fan, but it's my second favorite single of her, just behind, obviously, Volverte a amar.
