在40岁这一年，Natalia Lafourcade发现了“CANCIONERA”——一个推动她全新音乐计划的信息源泉、一个赋予她另一个自我生命的角色、一个将带她踏上为期一年多世界巡演的概念。这次巡演将让她在全球舞台上现场呈现她的艺术创作。一年后，随着她的新专辑的发布，这位广受赞誉的墨西哥创作歌手表示，这张作品让她重新确认了自己在生命中的角色和想要走的道路。
“我觉得CANCIONERA的出现，是来提醒我作为一名歌者所要传递的信息，但它也让我对世界各地的歌曲产生了强烈的灵感，”Lafourcade在墨西哥城接受《Billboard Español》采访时表示，“那是我人生中一个转折点，我问自己：‘我已经40岁了，接下来要干什么？’”
这张专辑是继她备受好评的2022年专辑《De Todas Las Flores》之后的又一力作，该专辑为她赢得了一座格莱美奖和三座拉丁格莱美奖，并标志着她与好友、同为艺术家的法墨混血制作人、音乐人、演员和导演Adán Jodorowsky之间的创作伙伴关系。在《CANCIONERA》中，他们再度合作，整张专辑均在墨西哥以模拟磁带形式录制完成。
专辑还邀请了El David Aguilar、Hermanos Gutiérrez、Israel Fernández、Diego del Morao和Gordon Hamilton参与，他们以丰富的细节与音色，为作品注入了从波莱罗（bolero）到哈罗乔民谣（son jarocho）的多重质感，间或融合热带和兰切拉（ranchera）音乐风格。此外，Soundwalk Collective的声音设计工作也为专辑的深度增色不少，将自然声音融入音乐景观之中。
《CANCIONERA》是Lafourcade的第十二张专辑，收录了原创作品以及几首墨西哥传统音乐的重新诠释作品，例如哈罗乔民谣《El Coconito》和《La Bruja》，它们与这个项目的本质展开了对话。这张由索尼音乐发行的专辑共包含14首曲目，其中包括一版原声的《Cancionera》，她在其中探索了如波莱罗、哈罗乔、热带音乐和兰切拉等风格，非常贴近标志性歌手Chavela Vargas的风格。其他曲目还包括《Amor Clandestino》《Mascaritas de Cristal》《El Palomo y La Negra》《Luna Creciente》《Lágrimas Cancioneras》和《Cariñito de Acapulco》。
这位四度获得格莱美奖、十八度获得拉丁格莱美奖的艺术家，最近还被评为《Billboard》“拉丁流行史上最佳50位女艺人”之一，她坦言在这个新项目中，她的另一个自我逼迫她去完成一些身为Natalia Lafourcade本人也许不会尝试的事情。“这个歌者的灵魂逼着我最大程度地释放创造力，从舞蹈、肢体探索、绘画探索，到我热爱的许多事物，而这些也许都被我深埋在抽屉里很久了，”她说，“这展现了一个新面貌，一个教会我变形能力的新阶段，而且不仅仅是我，每个人都可以这样做。”
她还坦承，这一次她的作品中，墨西哥依旧无意间渗透其中——正如她此前的专辑《Un Canto por México》（2020）《Un Canto por México II》（2021）和《De Todas las Flores》（2022）中那样——通过传统节奏、歌词与歌本的形式回归。
“我觉得这张专辑充满了维拉克鲁斯的气息，充满了我们说话的方式和幽默感。而这一次同样是在不刻意、不强求的情况下，所有参与者的影响力和那份墨西哥认同感自然流露了出来，”Lafourcade解释道。“就像Emiliano Dorantes带来了Agustín Lara的影响，兰切拉风格的墨西哥自然出现了，Toña La Negra式的热带墨西哥气息也出现了，还有Chavela Vargas所代表的墨西哥形象。这些闪现都在过程中显现了出来。我非常喜欢这一点，因为它说明我们都在这里，带着那股墨西哥的精神气息。”
此外她指出，这些新歌还传达出梦幻与超现实的色彩，“就像梦中发生的事”。她毫不犹豫地选择再次邀请Jodorowsky担任联合制作人，因为他敏锐而挑剔的耳朵能帮助她更好地引导自己的创作。
