Todo Tiene Color, Lidia Avila's second album for Fonovisa and third album overall, is not a major stylistic departure from its predecessor, Así Como Me Ves; the Chihuahua, Mexico native still operates on the regional Mexican side of Latin pop, which means that she isn't pretending to be a traditional mariachi/ranchera vocalist of the Lola Beltrán/Lucha Villa/Chavela Vargas variety but rather, is going after listeners who have a lot of Ana Bárbara and Selena CDs in their collections. 2005's Así Como Me Ves was a Latin pop album with Mexican overtones -- not a hardcore ranchera album -- and the same applies to this 2007 release, which has plenty of grupero appeal. So the question becomes not how Todo Tiene Color measures up from a traditional ranchera perspective, but how it measures up from a grupero/Latin pop/crossover perspective, and the answer is this is a pleasant pop outing even though it isn't in a class with Ana Bárbara or Selena's best work. Nothing on Todo Tiene Color is an absolute classic like Bandido (one of Bárbara's definitive grupero hits) or the Selena favorite Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, but even so, this 41-minute disc offers some likable examples of Mexican-flavored Latin pop ear candy. The cumbia-influenced Corazón Salvaje and the perky Ven Cariño Ven are enjoyably infectious, as is the title track (which is heard in three different mixes, including a duranguense mix). Todo Tiene Color is slightly uneven and doesn't turn Avila into grupero royalty, but the plusses outweigh the minuses on a generally decent release that creatively, is neither a major step forward nor a major step backward for the Chihuahua-born singer. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
