Soltando al Perro

Personnel: Javier Cavacini (saxophone); Jesse (piano); Rogelio Jiménez (keyboards).
Fans of Mexican pop know it doesn't get any more melodic or infectious than the brother-and-sister duo of Jesse & Joy (last name: Huerta Uecke). This package contains the album in its entirely as well as three live songs: an extra-long singalong version of the nearly anthemic "¡Corre!" (from the telenovela La Que No Podia Amar), "La de al Mala Suerte," and "Espacio Sideral." Other standouts include the reggae-cum-samba "Aquí Voy," the tender midtempo rock ballad "Me Llora el Cielo," and the shimmering pop-psych of "Tú Mi Poesía." There is also a deluxe edition of Soltando el Perro that includes a total of six live tracks, "Llorar" (featuring Mario Domm), and a DVD featuring an entire show from the 2013 tour, the official video for "Me Quiero Enamorar," and a documentary. ~ Thom Jurek
