Synopsis

Amazon.com
After a lengthy career in film and television, the Mexican actress and singer, Ximena Sariñana, finally releases her first studio album titled Mediocre. This young lady has art coursing through her veins, with a famous Mexican movie director for a father (Fernando Sariñana). Furthermore, her aunts, Angelica Rivera and Veronica Castro, are both actresses, and her uncle Jose Alberto Castro is a producer.

The album consists of 12 tracks that fuse rhythms such as jazz, pop, rock and funk. Produced by Tweety Gonzalez (Soda Stereo), Juan Campodonico (Bajo Fondo, Jorge Drexler), and Mood-Fu, Mediocre is an honest album that lacks pretention and makes evident Ximena's incredible musical talent. The first single, "Vidas Paralelas," quickly reached top popularity within just a few weeks of hitting radio in Mexico. The video for this single was recorded in Iceland, under the direction of Pablo Davila (Motel, Los Dynamite).

Joven mexicana que a su corta edad cuenta con una larga carrera que inició en el mundo del cine y de ahí se transportó al mundo de la música. Conocida principalmente por su participación en el soundtrack de la película Amar Te Duele, Ximena ha logrado desarrollar un estilo musical muy peculiar que va del jazz al pop pasando por el rock y el funk y que es del agrado de todas las personas que gustan de la buena música con contenido interesante.

Mexico's National Treasure
psychomuse | 07/10/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"America had Billie Holiday, France had Edith Piaf. Mexico gives us Ximena Sariñana. What a voice! She can make every musical style her own. She takes you deep and sultry, then rises to a sweet lightness that lifts you up. And she does it in any language she chooses. You might not know what she's singing about, but you'll get it anyway.



Simply put, her voice makes any song better. So beware! Once Ximena seduces you with her musica, you'll be her happy victim forever. And my oh my, she's only 22!!!"
She sounded great on NPR this Saturday morning.

"I only caught a few minutes of her segment on NPR radio, but in the couple minutes I heard I knew Ximena had a special voice. When someone can knock you over singing just one verse a capella you know its great.



I'm looking forward to the CD.



Update: CD is good. But to really appreciate her you need to watch her sing live. Just search youtube, you'll appreciate her that much more after seeing her sing live.

Great vocals, but CD didn't quite capture the real magic she

"I heard Mediocre single on KCRW and it truly caught my attention. I stopped what I was doing just to pay closer attention. So I went out and bought the CD and to my dismay, the CD did not capture the magic she projected on a live sitting. I think she sounds a hundred times better acoustic. I don't think its her fault but the record peoples fault. On a couple of songs I think the music over powers her voice....but thats just my opinion. She definitely has talent, I've heard it before."
