Sirope Alejandro

📖 About this album

Alejandro Sanz's eleventh album, released in 2015. Adult pop with orchestral production where the Madrid singer-songwriter explores heartbreak and melancholy from a place of maturity. One of his more personal records.

📝 Our review

Sirope arrived when Alejandro Sanz needed to reassert himself and he managed it halfway. The production is sumptuous, with strings and piano wrapping his voice in its natural element. There are genuinely mature ballads — "Un zombie a la intemperie" is among his best songs — but also moments where commercial success weighs too heavily. A record by an artist who knows exactly what he is doing, even when doing the easy thing.
