The lovely Jaci walks a new path on LLEGAR A TI, offering this third album entirely in Spanish. She's clearly branching out to spread her message, since many of these are tunes that previously appeared in English on her self-titled effort. Set in delightful, delicate pop arrangements, these are touching songs in which Jaci shares her candid dialogues with a divine being. While each track sheds its own unique light on Jaci's beliefs, one thread runs clearly throughout: His enduring centrality in her life. Veteran producer Mark Heimermann returns yet again to lend a helping hand in the studio, which surely enhances the sense of reassured confidence permeating the recording.
"Solo Tu" is one of the many stirring ballads here, with its wafts of synthesizer and acoustic guitar and the ebb and flow of its backing choral harmonies. "Manatial De Caricias" is loads of tropi-pop fun, with Jaci singing exuberant praises to the sound of robust horns, accordion, and a thumping electro-beat. "Junto a Mi" continues on the up-tempo vibe with a house beat, while later, Jaci settles down to make a quiet jewel of "Al Mundo Dios Amo" with her sweet whispering.
