De Noche: Clasicos A Mi Manera...
About This Album
Relative to his previous album, the Latin pop blockbuster Viento a Favor (2007), the old-fashioned boleros performed on De Noche: Clásicos a Mi Manera are a modest effort by Alejandro Fernández. The Mexican superstar tends to alternate his contemporary pop albums with less ambitious releases, generally in-concert recordings or collections of traditional material, so a modest effort such as De Noche shouldn't surprise his legion of devoted fans who are no doubt accustomed to his steady if varied output. Directed musically by Pedro Ramírez, the longtime producer of both Alejandro and his father, Vicente Fernández, De Noche is a refreshing change of pace for El Potrillo, whose contemporary pop efforts are at times overwrought. In contrast, De Noche is breezy. It's so breezy, in fact, its 16 tracks seem to fly by, wrapping up all too soon with a playful version of Puerto Rican composer Rafael Hernández's "Perfume de Gardenias." The arrangements of Ramírez are on grand showcase throughout the hourlong De Noche, gracing the album with a consistent style and mood that feels timeless. The vocals of Fernández are also showcased impressively throughout, as he instills this collection of old-fashioned boleros with a modern touch and youthful vigor.
