Description:

Julieta Venegas' switch from moody, alt-rock chica to winsome pop star--via 2003's hit-packed Si--may have shocked some fans, but it also shed glorious pop light on an appealing new side of the Mexican singer. She's hardly looked back, and Limon y Sal offers a carefully crafted, dizzylingly diverse balance of both worlds. To be sure, Limon y Sal is soaked in sunny, vibrant melodies, and Venegas' offbeat stylings and charming voice make even the most bitter break-up song worthy of a smile. Kick-off track "Canciones de Amor" is a sun-kissed ode to love's complexities, and first single "Me Voy" rides a nostalgic accordion groove. The luxuriously lazy title track features a galloping groove and easy choruses that are downright Beatles-esque in their poppiness. "Primer Dia" is a questionable moment, with its uneasy mix of synthesized grooves and rap breaks, but for the most part, Limon y Sal offers just the right mix of radio-ready shimmer and rock edges, thanks in part to production work from Coti Sorokin and Cachorro Lopez. It only gets better as you dig deeper: the racing chrouses of "A Donde Sea"; the regional kick of "No Sere"; or the retro club vibe of "Eres Para Mi." Prime, intelligent pop at its best--and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. --Joey Guerra

5Wonderful!!!   Jul 15, 2007
I've purchased a LOT of music in the past year and Limon y Sal is my favorite of them all. I have Julieta's other CDs and this is her best. There isn't a single song on Limon y Sal that I don't like. Not many albums are good from top to bottom and Julieta shows off her range and charming personality on this CD more than on her others. Julieta has an amazing voice and a slightly quirky quality that I can't explain. This album is good even if you don't understand Spanish. The music holds up on its own. I recommend that fans get the dual disc version, with the behind the scenes footage of the recording process and the Me Voy video. I wish that the DVD side included the videos for Eres Para Mi and, well.....Limon y Sal (Duh!) as those are quite enjoyable videos, but you can't have everything, I guess.

5Me Gusta  Apr 27, 2007
Every time I go to NYC, I make a point to go spend some time- as well as a small fortune- in the Virgin Megastore. While I was in the world music section, this album came on the sound system. I listened to the first song, left to do some shopping elsewhere, and when I came back, this was still on, and it was irresistable. Out of the fifteen-odd albums I bought that day, this was the first one I listened to, and it has so far proven to be the best. I highly recommend it to any enjoyer of well-crafted, melodic pop music. The highest compliment I can pay this album is that the music, without being overly dramatic, makes it so I understand everything she's saying, even though I don't know much Spanish. One of the most purely enjoyable albums I've bought in some time.

4Easy listening with a personal touch  Jan 27, 2007
I've only listened to Aquì and Limon y Sal by Julieta Venegas, but out of those two I definitely prefer this. Julieta's special voice comes to its full right in this album. It is an album with happy Spanish-style pop music, nothing too advanced but more towards the easy listening. Also, if you like the music of La Oreja de Van Gogh I can really recommend this album (and vice versa if you like this album I can recommend the music of LOdVG).

5Her Grammy was well deserved  Nov 08, 2006
"Limon y Sal" is a great Julieta Venegas album. Her lyrics are so simple and so sincere. My favorite songs from this CD are "Limon y Sal," "No Hace Falta," "Canciones de Amor," and "Sin Documentos." If you liked "Si" you will love this CD! I listen to it all the time. :)
