Eliana Cuevas – Espejo (2013/2014) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Born to a musical family in Venezuela, Cuevas grew up to the sounds of salsa, pop, and Brazilian music, writing her first song by the age of nine.

Her latest album Espejo is a true testament to Cuevas’ growth as an artist. Shaped by her international performances and work with acclaimed artists, Espejo seamlessly blends genres from blues to pop with Cuevas’ signature soaring vocals and Latin jazz sound. Ingenious producer and composer Jeremy Ledbetter played a key role in the making of this album which features top Latin and Jazz musicians. Cuevas keeps pushing her creative boundaries making her new collection of songs an eclectic and captivating musical journey.

Recent winner of the IMA Latin Album of the Year award, Eliana was hailed as “Canada’s emerging Latin music queen” by 680 News in Toronto.

With her fourth album Espejo the Venezuelan-born singer/songwriter Eliana Cuevas is somewhat deeper into her life as a musician. It is clear from the music on this album that Ms. Cuevas has matured considerably since her 2002 debut Cohesión. The singer is more self-assured, as she digs deeper into her soul and, as a result, it is clear that she now writes music that is more complex and makes fuller use of the folk music of Venezuela with greater intellect; in subtler ways both rhythmically as well as in terms of the rich and undulating melodic inventions that it is known for. Moreover Ms. Cuevas can be heard here to sing not so much within a zone that she is merely comfortable with, but as she pushes herself to capture the music with a greater sense of urgency and with a great deal more nervous energy. She is also in touch with the spirit realm where she appears to navigate with sublime femininity as well as with a certain shamanistic zeal. Of course while pushing herself beyond such limits as she is seen to have done here Ms. Cuevas has had to make certain musical decisions that have made the album under review somewhat all-inclusive. Consider: Ms. Cuevas has pushed her skills to the limit. As a result she seems to have ended up fusing some elements of popular music into what would have been simply beautiful music that should have stood on its own, basking in its wonderful folkloric rhythms. Despite its pop appeal, Espejo is a wonderful revelation of the artistry of Eliana Cuevas. It is indeed a wonderful reflection of her expressive musicality as well as the depth of her spirituality and soulfulness.
