Four years in the making, Alejandro Fernández's
Rompiendo Fronteras ("Breaking Borders") is the Mexican superstar's most radical album. Produced by Áureo Baqueiro (Thalia, Paulina Rubio, Sin Bandera), this date mixes not only the Latin pop and rancheras that have made Fernandez an international superstar, but also delves into sierreño music and reggaeton. The set's tracks were written mainly by hitmakers Joss Favela and Pablo Preciado, but popular composers Leonel García, Gianmarco, and Mario Domm all contribute songs here as well. Also included on the date are collaborations with Colombian bands Morat (the reggaeton single "Sé Que Te Duele") and Cali & El Dandee. ~ Thom Jurek
