Ranchera heartthrob Alejandro Fernandez polishes up his sound on A Corazon Abierto, his first pop album since 2000's Entre Tus Brazos. That effort was marred by Emilio Estefan's bland production and repetitive instrumentation, but Fernandez diversifies on Corazon, enlisting the help of Aureo Baqueiro (Sin Bandera, Aleks Syntek) and Kike Santander, producer of choice for a dazzling roster of artists, including Thalia, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, and David Bisbal. They wrap Fernandez's swoon-inducing voice in lush instrumentation, veering from somber ballads ("Para Vivir," "Me Dedique a Perderte") to galloping uptempo tracks ("Se Va," "Canta Corazon"). Fernandez's mariachi sensibilities have often been muzzled during his pop-flavored outings, but the flamenco-guitar flourishes and blaring horns actually seem to play up his trademark sound and style. It makes for a confident collection that cleverly straddles both genres and makes the most of Fernandez's sexy--and often thrilling--voice. --Joey Guerra

AMAZING.......2006-11-10
Solid Work.......2006-08-17
I tend to disagree with those who say that Entre Tus Brazos is his best pop album. Personally, I believe that is his weakest album. I am one of those fans who prefers to hear him sing those rancheras, but I also realize that part of the evolution and growth of a performer is the constant reinventing and the willingness to explore new areas. I know that he became famous singing such hits as "Se Me Van Las Ganas" "Piel de Nina", and "Como Quien Pierde Una Estrella", but I also know that he has consolidated himself as a true superstar with his latter works.
This particular album starts out strong but dies off just a bit, and just when you think you're going to turn it off, he comes at you with another good song. My personal favorites are "Canta Corazon" "Me Dedique a Perderte" "Que Voy a Hacer Con Mi Amor" "Que Lastima" and "Se Va". 6 out of 13 isn't bad, and those are just the ones I like most. It's definitely worth buying.
Balancing Tradition and Emotion!.......2006-04-24
Nice balance between the Alejandro's ranchera and pop voices.......2005-12-29
On this album, florid ranchera instrumentation combined with Fernandez's rich, buttery vocals and pop melodies result in a production everyone will enjoy. At the same time, the album leaves listeners nostalgic for their Alejandro Ferdandez---whether that is the sultry pop version or the charro suit, mariachi version.
Pay special attention to "Canta Corazon", an irreverent but infectious love song. High points of the album also include "Que Voy a Hacer Con Mi Amor" and "Me Dedique A Perderte".
