Una Raya Más Al Tigre

Una Raya Más Al Tigre

Many Mexican artists of Camila Fernández’s generation tend to favour corridos, yet she’s set herself apart and forged her own path in traditional styles inclusive of mariachi and ranchera. Though a member of one of her homeland’s most cherished musical dynasties, the award-winning singer continues to succeed on her own merits with Una Raya Más Al Tigre. An undeniable proficiency in her chosen genre category emerges with the heartbroken opener “Suéltame” and persists through the romantic ups and downs laid out on songs like “Instrucciones” and the lushly arranged “La De Rogar.” She exudes poise and tenacity on the bold farewell “Buen Viaje” and the pointed recriminations of “No Manches”, her powerful voice carrying her messages widely and relatably. On the standout title track, she practices a form of radical acceptance as she sings of a relationship’s untidy aftermath, later taking a more defensive stance on the justified “Mírame Ahora”.
