Hombre Invisible and the unforgettable woman

Ely Guerra is what you would call the genius in the shadow, each of her records differs from the next, and nothing sounds uninspired or washed up.
Setting all this aside for a moment. Hombre Invisible, whether or not you remotely care about anything else Ely Guerra has been associated with. is fluidly, hauntingly, overbearingly but more importantly, merely powerful and nothing less.

Between each arrangement and acoustic free fall lies a sultry voice, powerful and soothing.
The lack of explanation with language makes describing an album like this almost a futile attempt, However the record breaths on his own, allowing another to speculate on the marvels of the atmosphere instilling visions right in front of you.

Throughout the individual elements each song displays, the album plays through as collective.
No sound is here without reason an immaculate arrangement of instruments in songs such as BUMERAN and COLMENA, regardless of how much or little the song retain, it never fails to get their point across, as each song is a sort of lesson of mind that willfully continues on its own as you unconsciously wander along, the lyrics are merely accompaniment for the music, adding just that much more icing on the cake, and because of this the vocals allow plenty of breathing room for the music to do as it will. well illustrated in the extreme jazz styling of LENTO FUNERAL and the hollow and cataleptic LA HABITACION or they switch roles, letting the lyrics tell the story as the music harkens the flame to give that much more sensibility to the song.

Hombre Invisible doesn't come full circle as a stream of consciousness for the sole reason that these sort of expressions do not cease, and leaves one with a bittersweet outlook on the experience, more sweet than bitter. The album is the epitome of conscious sensuality, and basically can't be encapsulated on one genre. If you try to label this music it will stretch that label to the braking point. A truly enjoyable album, to everyone. Ely Guerra is in the house and here to stay.

Magical... the wait was well worth it

Ely Guerra is arguably, -with the notable exception of Natalia Lafourcade- the only female Mexican musician that presents something new and refreshing with every album.

Without a doubt, this woman is the bravest of all. Ely doesn’t fit the industry standards and to be where she is now has been sweat and blood. If “Lotofire” and “Sweet and Sour, Hot y Spicy” were too sophisticated for many mainstream ears, with “Hombre Invisible”, Ely gives a kind slap to those who hadn’t believed in her before.“Hombre Invisible” is arguably her best album (hard to say when every album is excellent), but sonically and vocally is perfect. The production is extraordinary, you can hear loops, many voice tracks, subtleties in her voice, music instruments she had never used before (mostly piano).

In every song, Ely breaks the formula of the traditional structure which makes “Hombre Invisible” her most experimental and spectacular album (“Stranger” ends suddenly in jazz, “Lento Funeral” has a Radioheadesque bridge, “Antes de septiembre” is like five songs in one, from bossa nova to dream pop, and “La Habitación” has 8 minutes of piano solo).
It’s very important to note that the songs, which were inspired by loops created by talents such as Gustavo Santaolalla, Bunbury and Juanes, do NOT sound like them. Thank God. So it’s impressive that Juanes is actually the one that originated the cornerstone track of the album “Antes de septiembre”.

Lastly, Ely proves ironically in an album named “Invisible Man” that she doesn’t need a man to create the best song in her career: “Colmena”, a dream pop ballad that will make your skin crawl.
This version of “Hombre invisible” has two bonus tracks that are worth the price alone. “Vale que tengas” her acapella song that has always been present in her concerts (for the first time published), and the catchy “Happinness”.
A great album indeed.

Ely is amazingly talented and Sensual !

Ely has come again with an album that culminates some of the best vocals emotionally and sensitivity that not too many artist can give ! Colmena as her lead single is simply amazing that even my 4 month old son can smile and hum in the melody !
Ely gives herself completely to her music full on! It's not to follow the trend or anything close ! She speaks her mind and soul in each song like no other .
One artist I can compare her too is the incredible Sinead O'connor . Another artist who sings with her heart and don't care about trends but art and a meaning to her lyrics !
Great job Ely !! Can't wait to see you tour for this album !!! :)
