Album Notes Joan Sebastian continues his entrancing blend of ranchera with timeless pop on 2009 release PEGADITO AL CORAZON. His compositions can range from straight-up regional Mexican folk of "Pide Mas" to the arching orchestral torch of "Te Ira Mejor Sin Ma" to the Glen Campbell-esque melodic country of "Me Quiere Mi Perro." Sebastian imbues his vibrant songs with a sly wink that brings an undercurrent of passion without drenching the pieces in syrupy sweetness. Joan Sebastían continues his entrancing blend of ranchera with timeless pop on 2009's Pegadito al Corazon. Sebastían earned his place as a leading Mexican torch singer with a knack for peppering his robust orchestral songs of love and longing with many adventurous styles from north of the border and around the globe. Compositions on Pegadito range from the straight-up regional Mexican folk of "Pide Mas" to the arching Celine Dion torch stylings of "Te Ira Mejor Sin Ma" to the Glen Campbell-esque melodic country of "Me Quiere Mi Perro." Sebastían imbues his vibrant songs with a sly wink that brings an undercurrent of passion without drenching the pieces in syrupy sweetness. ~ Jason Thurston
