After refill his bank account with the Soda Stereo 2007 reunion tour, Gustavo Cerati returns with "Fuerza Natural" his fifth solo album in which seems like we finally recover Cerati as a guitar player, maker of organic and warm music . Yeah, is true, since "Ahí Vamos", his previous album, Cerati moved away from electronic sound and pick up guitar as base for his music again but, unlike the pompous and distant sound of "Ahí Vamos", in "Fuerza Natural" he put aside his avant-garde pursuits and focuses on simplicity and melody. The result could not be better: without fall into easy tunes and maintaining the refinement that characterizes his music, the argentinian deliver 13 songs with which we connect since the first chord of "Fuerza Natural" is played, song that along with "Déjà Vu" and "Magia" starts the album in a energetic way, with an enthusiastic and optimistic spirit to continue in a soft and rhythmic mood with songs like "Tracción A Sangre", "Desastre" and "Cactus", a sort of melancholic stylized chacarera, giving it a slightly bucolic and andean folky breeze to the middle part of the album. At the end comes the dreamy stillness of "Sal" and "Convoy" to close with "Hoy He Visto A Lucy" a 9 minutes trip with obvious reminiscences to The Beatles. Cerati arrives to his 50 anniversary with a great album. A flawless record which in some way, and without even suggesting the "Soda Stereo sound", he shows once again that ability to make engaging and perfect rock/pop songs. "Fuerza Natural" could be the album that we have been waiting from Gustavo Cerati for 12 years. -CORANNIEIT-
