When some Mexican friends of mine gave me this CD I didn't know exactly what to expect, since Alejandra's previous album 'Enorme' was a bit of a disappointment. But on this disc she has changed her usual team of collaborators, this time mainly working with Spanish musicians and songwriters, and to say the least 'Cambio de Piel' blew my socks off! It's by far her most consistent effort - there is not one poor track to be found. Ace drummer Pedro Barceló's dynamic playing and the raw guitar and bass parts are a pure pleasure, and Ale herself sounds as if she's been reborn. The highlights (hard to choose!) are the uptempo 'Guerra Fría', 'Toda La Mitad', and 'Buscando Tu Amor' and the slower songs 'Ven' and 'Como Las Nueces'. This album didn't leave my CD player for days after my first listen. It's so uplifting and full of energy. Simply brilliant.

This is by far one of her best albums out there.
Great unique voice...great vocals!

Alejandra da un giro en lo musical, reduciendo el numero de instrumentos y creando un sonido mas natural en esta produccion. Las letras de algunas canciones son muy buenas a mi parecer, como "Toda la mitad", "Cuenta conmigo", "Quema despacio", "Ven" entre otras. Hay para todos los gustos: desde temas lentos hasta rock movido ("Buscando tu amor" es una de mis canciones favoritas). No obstante no le doy 5 estrellas porque hay canciones como "Tocarte" que segun mi punto de vista salen sobrando. Ademas la Guzman siempre ha sido conocida por sus letras despechadas y sus melodias energicas, y este disco no es uno de los mejores exponentes de ese estilo. Sin embargo, como experimento en su carrera, quedo bastante bien, pero la prefiero mas rockera como en otras de sus producciones.
