People en Espa#241;ol
The 22-year-old daughter of cinephile Fernando Sarinana#151;who composed songs for film and also cast his little girl in some of his own projects#151;presents one of the most promising Latin Music albums of the year. Her voice may be reminiscent of Natalia Lafourcade, but her musical style is more intense and dramatic, with more of a jazzy influence ("Reforma"), and reminiscent of Regina Spektor ("La Tina," "Vidas paralelas"). i--Ernesto Sanchez/i (iPeople en Espanol/i img alt="People en Espanol" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/icons/icon-offsite.gif" border=0 align=top) p/ Hija del cineasta Fernando Sarinana, para quien compuso temas e incluso fungio como actriz en varias de sus peliculas, esta menuda mexicana de apenas 22 anos, presenta una de las propuestas mas interesantes del ano en la musica latina. Si bien su voz parece una replica de la de Natalia Lafourcade, su estilo musical es mas intenso, dramatico, y se va mas por el jazz en temas como "Reforma," y algo mas en la linea de Regina Spektor en "La Tina" y "Vidas paralelas." Muy recomendable. i--Ernesto Sanchez/i (iPeople en Espanol/i img alt="People en Espanol" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/icons/icon-offsite.gif" border=0 align=top)

After a lengthy career in film and television, the Mexican actress and singer, Ximena Sarinana, finally releases her first studio album titled iMediocre/i. This young lady has art coursing through her veins, with a famous Mexican movie director for a father (Fernando Sarinana). Furthermore, her aunts, Angelica Rivera and Veronica Castro, are both actresses, and her uncle Jose Alberto Castro is a producer.br brThe album consists of 12 tracks that fuse rhythms such as jazz, pop, rock and funk. Produced by Tweety Gonzalez (Soda Stereo), Juan Campodonico (Bajo Fondo, Jorge Drexler), and Mood-Fu, iMediocre/i is an honest album that lacks pretention and makes evident Ximena's incredible musical talent. The first single, "Vidas Paralelas," quickly reached top popularity within just a few weeks of hitting radio in Mexico. The video for this single was recorded in Iceland, under the direction of Pablo Davila (Motel, Los Dynamite).br brJoven mexicana que a su corta edad cuenta con una larga carrera que inicio en el mundo del cine y de ahi se transporto al mundo de la musica. Conocida principalmente por su participacion en el soundtrack de la pelicula Amar Te Duele, Ximena ha logrado desarrollar un estilo musical muy peculiar que va del jazz al pop pasando por el rock y el funk y que es del agrado de todas las personas que gustan de la buena musica con contenido interesante. p span class="h1"strongXimena Sarinana Photo/strong/span table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="15" cellspacing="15" tr align="center" td img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/music/ximena-thumb.jpg" width="125" border="0"/td /tr /table

I discovered this artist in a recent issue of Rolling Stone. And this is a good album altogether.

The name of the cd is an auto review of itself October 7, 2008

If you want to hear a girl who considers herself as the latin Alanis Morissette meets Bjork but who isn't even near to that, who looks as tomboyish as Miley Cyrus, and who sings with such a drowsy voice as Julieta Venegas does, this cd is the perfect option to waste your money. Each track stays on the try of being an alternative deep song with a meaning, but up there , you can't ask her more

Latin Nora Jones October 5, 2008

I bought this CD as a recommendation for those who liked Lila Downs. There is no comparison to Lila Downs's music. As I listened to each song I kept asking myself "who's music is this, I've heard this before?" Then I realized it was Nora Jones. If you really like Nora Jones, you may like this (my wife and daughter do), but if you like Lila Downs it's probably not your cup of hot chocolate.

She sounded great on NPR this Saturday morning. October 4, 2008

I only caught a few minutes of her segment on NPR radio, but in the couple minutes I heard I knew Ximena had a special voice. When someone can knock you over singing just one verse a capella you know its great.br /br /I'm looking forward to the CD.br /br /Update: CD is good. But to really appreciate Xime you need to watch her sing live. Just search, you'll appreciate her that much more after seeing her sing live.br /br /br /br / br /
