Professional Review:
Viento a Favor is Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez's 15th studio disc in as many years as a singer. But he still approaches each project with the urgency and earnestness of a newbie singer. That's what makes each tune a small celebration, an intimate moment of discovery. There are no wasted moments amid the sterling arrangements, some of the best in Fernandez's lush pop repertoire. (He's an equally heralded ranchera singer.) Viento a Favor features tunes written by Leonel Garcia and Noel Schajris (better known as emotive Latin-pop duo Sin Bandera) and Mexican singer Reyli Barba. They're all taken to wuthering heights by Fernandez's stellar vocal range, which goes from hushed whispers to booming intensity. First single "Te Voy a Perder" is an epic romance, and "Amor Gitano," a duet with bilingual diva Beyoncé, expectedly smolders. Closing tune "Cuando Estamos Juntos" is another surprise, an acoustic-flavored ode to simple joy. --Joey Guerra

   Summary: A victory for Alex!
I eagerly anticipated the release of this album. Alejandro is taking risks to broaden his fan base while creatively challenging himself. I commend him for his efforts. I like the "new Alex" & it looks good on him. He cut and dyed his hair and now prefers suits and jackets. "Wind In My Favor" defines where he is personally, professionally and spiritually. His present tour production even has a different feel and I have to say I am excited for him because you can feel his joy in every song and note. The two more upbeat titles "Sueno Contigo" and "A Manos Llenas" are my favorites. These are definitely margarita-drinking music! "Estabas Alli" would challenge any crooner of any genre in any language. He once said that he learned how to sing a ballad by listening to Michael Bolton and Lionel Ritchie. He learned from some of the best, wouldn't you say? A duet with Beyonce Knowles in "Gitano" not only shows she is a quick study of the sensuality & pronounciation of the language but Alejandro's low and seducing vocals add heat that can't be found in any other voice. He can bring out the passion of a woman's soul! The final song, "Cuando Estamos Juntos" is downright adorable and a good selection to end the CD. He is just as sexy in concert when he performs this while twirling his mic stand. All in all, it was worth the wait and it is a good addition to your A.F. library.

   Summary: Great album
I never thought that I would love this album.
I bought it because I like the cover and amazon
recommended it. I almost love every track in this
album, especially Estabas Ahi, Solitario Y Solo,
Amenaza De Lluvia. If you like pop latin with
soft, mellow, and ballad songs, you should buy this
album. You won't regret it.

   Summary: not as good as previous CD's
After the fanfarre, I expected a better album. There are two songs I like and the rest are re-hash of previous musical arrangements with different lyrics.

A bit disappointing

   Summary: He can just sing anything . . .
. . . with this voice. This is definitely adult pop, the direction Alex's music has been taking for the last few years now. He's matured and so has his voice; it's much more resonant and you hear that better singing ballads and this type of smooth pop than the traditional mariachi music. Hard to pick a favorite here, but "Te Voy A Perder" and "Sin Consideracion" are the songs most likely to appeal across genres. Alex is sure to win some new fans with this mix. Even if you don't speak Spanish, he still makes you feel the mood of his songs and you will believe you understand what he's singing. He is La Voz (The Voice).

   Summary: Very good.
Alejandro has a very pleasant voice that projects real feelings in the words he is expressing. Whether he sings pop or rancheras his voice captures the listener.
