Editorial Review:
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

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 ... Read More
Rating: - They still do write `em like that anymore.
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. ... Read More
Rating:  - Mexican talent continues to grow
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 ... Read More
