A rising star in regional Mexican music, Adriana Ríos follows her quarantine-themed stunner “Está en Ti” with a short set of similarly intimate songs. Recorded live in Baja California’s Valle de Guadalupe, Azules Reflejos contains four originals and two cover songs. “Chapulin” soars in its colourful depiction of a jilted lover’s repudiation of a wandering lothario who hopes in vain to win her back, while the parallel “Sigo Siendo Yo” offers the potential for reconciliation in a different yet similarly complicated relationship. Bolstered by intricate instrumentation that leaves room for her powerful voice, Ríos succeeds in honouring Mónica Naranjo’s “Empiezo a Recordarte” and Amanda Miguel’s “Así No Te Amará Jamás”.
