"Sufrir" is perfect. Obsessing over this even more than I did "Al Siguiente Nivel."

there was a thread on her maybe on the sandbox? she's definitely well-loved on ILM iirc.

I hope the goodwill I have from my belated discovery of her last album isn't shaping my judgement of this, which is extremely favourable.
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 23:31 (ten years ago) link
I thought she was going to take a lengthy break from making music, but now I can't remember how long ago I read that. Apparently a while ago.
This sounds great!

Dunno if she's ready yet to release another album, so I'll just go ahead and predict this track lands at #45 in the year-end poll.

I think you guys are all crazy. The vocal melodies on this are much stronger on this, they don't stay in the same narrow range that they did Otra Era.
