After a lengthy career in film and television, the Mexican actress and singer, Ximena Sariñana, finally releases her first studio album titled Mediocre. This young lady has art coursing through her veins, with a famous Mexican movie director for a father (Fernando Sariñana). Furthermore, her aunts, Angelica Rivera and Veronica Castro, are both actresses, and her uncle Jose Alberto Castro is a producer.
The album consists of 12 tracks that fuse rhythms such as jazz, pop, rock and funk. Produced by Tweety Gonzalez (Soda Stereo), Juan Campodonico (Bajo Fondo, Jorge Drexler), and Mood-Fu, Mediocre is an honest album that lacks pretention and makes evident Ximena's incredible musical talent. The first single, "Vidas Paralelas," quickly reached top popularity within just a few weeks of hitting radio in Mexico. The video for this single was recorded in Iceland, under the direction of Pablo Davila (Motel, Los Dynamite).
Joven mexicana que a su corta edad cuenta con una larga carrera que inició en el mundo del cine y de ahí se transportó al mundo de la música. Conocida principalmente por su participación en el soundtrack de la película Amar Te Duele, Ximena ha logrado desarrollar un estilo musical muy peculiar que va del jazz al pop pasando por el rock y el funk y que es del agrado de todas las personas que gustan de la buena música con contenido interesante.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice surprise, recommended by Rolling Stone
Comment: I discovered this artist in a recent issue of Rolling Stone. And this is a good album altogether.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The name of the cd is an auto review of itself
Comment: If you want to hear a girl who considers herself as the latin Alanis Morissette meets Bjork but who isn't even near to that, who looks as tomboyish as Miley Cyrus, and who sings with such a drowsy voice as Julieta Venegas does, this cd is the perfect option to waste your money. Each track stays on the try of being an alternative deep song with a meaning, but up there , you can't ask her more
Customer Rating:
Summary: Latin Nora Jones
Comment: I bought this CD as a recommendation for those who liked Lila Downs. There is no comparison to Lila Downs's music. As I listened to each song I kept asking myself "who's music is this, I've heard this before?" Then I realized it was Nora Jones. If you really like Nora Jones, you may like this (my wife and daughter do), but if you like Lila Downs it's probably not your cup of hot chocolate.
Customer Rating:
Summary: She sounded great on NPR this Saturday morning.
Comment: I only caught a few minutes of her segment on NPR radio, but in the couple minutes I heard I knew Ximena had a special voice. When someone can knock you over singing just one verse a capella you know its great.
I'm looking forward to the CD.
Update: CD is good. But to really appreciate Xime you need to watch her sing live. Just search, you'll appreciate her that much more after seeing her sing live.
