Ely Guerra: Lotofire (281 words)
If you have the soundtrack to Amores Perros she may sound familiar to you as she appears both on her Brazilian flavored "Díme cuando" as well as the ethereal female presence on Control Machete's rap "De perros amores".
Cool and breezy, Guerra's voice evokes a range of emotions with her poetic lyrics with music that alternates between acoustic and electric rock, electronica and pop.
The funky, subdued "Tengo frio" brings its own surprises, with Guerra singing "lonely nights, lonely nights", as if these English words were the only ones that could fit—and it works beautifully with the twangy guitars.
JS Online: CD review: Ely Guerra (269 words)
By turns hauntingly lovely and howlingly strange, Mexican singer-songwriter Ely Guerra is a magical and powerful original.
Guerra's voice shifts from breathy whisper to sweetly piercing soprano to full-out wail on lyrics like open-ended poems; they are interior meditations or the cry of an almost shockingly naked emotion.
Guerra's voice still dominates, as much through her vulnerability as her determined way of proclaiming it.
