Great album by Julieta March 16, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful

I only recently become familiar with Venegas' music, despite the fact that she has been making albums for more than 10 years. This is her latest CD and is really great. What can one say: she writes her own songs (and those songs are really good, with catchy music and clever lyrics dealing mainly with the ups and downs in the relations between the sexes), she plays many instruments, she tries her hand with many musical styles (pop, rock, rap, Mexican folk, even tango). Her early albums were much more on the punk/rock side; she has softened her sound on her last two albums (though not the quality of the music). Some have criticized her for "selling out". Do not listen to them, Julieta. This is great music, with many great songs: the hit song "Me Voy" (great video, by the way), "Limon y Sal", "A Donde Sea", "Eres para Mi", "Mirame bien". Her album is both highly artistic and very listenable. Don't miss this one.

Julieta did it for me once again.. this album is really good. I like it just as much as 'Si'. Her first single 'Me Voy' is an excellent song and the video is very clever. I highly recommend Limon y Sal :)

these Latinos are inborn melodious. J.Venegas is no different. Me voy, Limon y Sal, Eres para mi are catchy songs. I can not step outside of my home without taking her songs with me.

Crafty, Irresistible Alt-Pop at its BEST December 2, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

Venegas is so good, in so many ways (singer, songwriter, instrumentalist), that the appeal of her songs crosses any ethnic musical "border." This being noted, the "latinisma" of her work is truly defining to her artistry. I don't see her music as having "gone commercial" at all. Her lyrics are too clever and incisive, her melodies too uncanny. This is not "commercial" music in that it plays to some basic, common denominator. It's SOUL music that is able to find widespread appeal because everyone with a real soul can relate. That's what the very best music is able to do--whether pop, rock, classical, alternative, jazz, what have you. Venegas is able to weave a tapestry of brilliance on this album with an amazing versatility that comes from her proficiency of gifts. Every track is superb to the ear and to the spirit. From the liberation and anthemic determination of "Me Voy," the almost Bjork-ish wisdom of "Limon y Sal," to the sensual urgency of "Es Para Mi," Venegas proves why she is one of the great, truly potent artists of contemporary Latin music. Mexico should be very proud. This woman has managed to be truly artistic and, simultaneously, listenable for a wide range of human beings. Not many can pull that off. The album is a knockout--enchanting and absolutely brimming with VIDA!

If a powerful musical celebration of the human spirit is "commercial," then this album proves that there is a very worthy and noble side to "commercial," too. Pop at it's best, and when it's THIS good, you don't NEED alternatives.

More of A Good Thing? June 8, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Let me first say that this is a very good album. I took my time, listening to this album for the past two days so I could provide a thoughtful review.

As the previous reviewer stated, Julieta plays with different musical genres, some with much success (Cancion de Amor, Me Voy, and Sin Documentos) and others less (Primer Dia, which plays somewhat lacklusterly with Reggae beats: Rasta-Julieta? I think not).

Sometimes the rhythm and harmonies seem like they shouldn't work, but they do in a weird, but very fortunate way (Ultima Vez). De Que Me Sirve, No Sere, and No Hace Falta, the three songs by Julieta and Coti Sororkin (the collaborator who gave us some of the true gems on "Si") are absolutely wonderful.

Limon y Sal, (Lemon and Salt) is more than just the title of this album: they, with the chilli pepper, are the quintisential flavors of Mexicanidad that instantly confer Mexican authenticity to anything. Just as they bring out the flavor of tequila, to drown your sorrows, they can equally bring a person to tears when rubbed into a gaping wound.

Such is the talent of Ms. Venegas. Her lyrics can bring out the joy or the pain in you.
