Mi Vida Eres Tú, prodigious balladeer Virlan Garcia's second dazzling album of 2017, features the same intimate trio sound that made Voy Amarte Hoy so instantly seductive. The spotlight once again falls on the banda star's dynamic voice, which charms on his mellow corridos and devastates on his pained románticas. But the stripped-down arrangements also provide a showcase for Garcia's staggering guitar skills, whether he's building tense drama on "Fuego Cruzado" or letting his six strings gently weep on the title track.
