Jesse & Joy release their 2nd album "Electricidad"

Electricidad // Jesse y Joy 

Jesse y Joy have released their sophmore album, Electricidad, a production that undoubtedly shows the duo’s growth as artists. This album is the follow up to their debut album which won  them a Latin Grammy in 2008 for Best New Artist. Curiously enough, the album was actually engineered by Thom Russo, producer/engineer guru who we recently interviewed. 

Electricidad  features an array of refined guitar riffs, full and rich sounding drums, and plenty of upbeat ambient/electronic sounds that gel perfectly with Joy’s powerful voice. Just like in their previous album, Joy ‘s vocals simply add so much to the songs and carry them to another level. 

I can definately appreciate the sort of sincere and honest songwriting behind the production. By this I mean that the songs would be just as good if they were just performed with Jesse playing his acoustic guitar accompanying Joy’s singing. Its simple and yet so powerful, and it seems they build around this idea. 

Its a very impressive production that continues to capture my attention each time I take a listen. So, my hat goes off to these  young artists and I’ll be waiting to see them win some more Latin Grammys. 

I highly recommend listening to “Adiós”, “Una y Otra Vez”, and of course “Electricidad”. 

Here is a video for you to get a glimpse of all I’m talking about. Stay classy San Diego!
