5.0 out of 5 stars polished gold, October 11, 2003

By	Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

These delectable rancheras harken back to Alejandro's 1999 CD, "Mi Verdad", and follows a similar mold, even to having a sound-alike to the award-winning "Loco" in its 5th track, "Mujer". Among the other similarities would be "Dejame" vs. "Amante Torero".
"Niña Amada Mia" is the theme song of a popular telenovela of the same name, and it is always a coveted prize for a singer to get a TV "soap" theme song, for its huge audience and nightly exposure, and has been a feather in the cap of other greats like Juan Gabriel and Alejandro's legendary father, Vicente.

Like "Mi Verdad", this CD was produced by Pedro Ramirez, who also did many of the arrangements, and every song is smooth and lovely, with terrific musicianship throughout. The insert booklet has the lyrics to all the songs, and here is where the comparison to "Mi Verdad", which had seven of the best photos of this stunningly handsome singer ever taken, comes to a screeching halt. "Niña" has as its centerpiece an inexplicable closeup of the back of Alejandro's head, indicating some mystical significance that is no doubt lost to most of his adoring female fans.
The sound is excellent, and total time 41'36.

Alejandro's exquisite voice, which reminds me somewhat of the velvety richness of Mexico's famed idol Javier Solis, is remarkable in its power, breath control, and the sensitivity of his interpretations. Though there is nothing particularly groundbreaking in this recording, it is superb music, beautifully performed, and a marvelous addition to any CD collection of Mexican music.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAGNIFICENT!, March 15, 2003

By	Claudia A. (Pinole, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Nina Amada Mia is magnificent on every level! Each of Alejandro Fernandez' productions has a unique flavor as he continues to explore his musical creativity. In Nina he shares with us the beauty of his beloved musica mexicana, a more traditional offering in which his strikingly resonant voice flows like a river of velvet silk. You do not need to understand Spanish to feel the joys, sorrows, and passions conveyed through his inspired delivery. My favorite tracks are Dejame, Matalas, Por que no estas conmigo, ... well, why bother to list them all? Nina brings me joy.
