My Take
Natalia Lafourcade is one of those artists who makes me wish my Spanish were better, because her voice carries so much even before you parse a single lyric. That distinctive lyric soprano, paired with the way she folds folk and jazz into pop, is why people call her one of the most important Latin artists of this century, and I don't think that's hype. Her shelf of Latin Grammys, including Song of the Year and Album of the Year, tells you the industry agrees. What I admire most is her turn toward Mexican roots music; choosing tradition over chasing trends takes real conviction, and it clearly paid off.
