On Alejandro Fernández's ballad 'Decepciones,' the veteran Mexican singer returns with husky, heartbroken charm. See why it's a Song You Need to Know
Since his days as a hitmaker in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández has excelled at stately, immaculately orchestrated ballads — the perfect launching pad for his potent baritone.
On “Decepciones,” Fernández’s band works at a leisurely pace, with a gently strummed rhythm guitar keeping time and trilling horns ratcheting up the drama. There’s no string section here, which makes “Decepciones” more sinewy than some of the singer’s big early hits, and Fernández unleashes his tale of heartbreak in controlled gusts.
Fernández is solemn and resolute as he catalogs his pain and romantic disappointment. Impressively, he manages to sneak in one sly, funny zinger without ever breaking character: “I believed you that your heart was broken,” he sings in Spanish. “But it wasn’t broken — it was just empty.”
