[4.57]
Alfred Soto: This Peruvian-Argentine duo hew closely to a competent level of folk strum. I wish the call and response had more to call and respond.

Rebecca A. Gowns: Nothing remarkable in the lyrics or music, but at least it sounds like they’re having fun.

Iain Mew: They don’t have much to work with, but by the time they bring out the handclaps I’m won over by their persistence in trying to get their limited melody stuck in my mind.

Megan Harrington: I’m a sucker for a traditional duet and with their abundance of strings and harmonies, Periko and Jessi Leon hit the sweet spot. “Me Vuelvo Loco” finds mad love in the bright and upbeat; it’s about going crazy, but it sounds like an effortless and pleasant way to lose yourself.

Brad Shoup: At least the handclaps sound like they were done by people, and not characters in an antidepressant commercial.

Patrick St. Michel: All of this seems a little too lazy-feel-good, peaking with a chorus that sounds like it’s forcing way too much of a smile. Or maybe those electro stabs are just really out of place.

Anthony Easton: They seem nice enough, their voices match well, the music has a serviceable guitar, and it doesn’t feature any ukuleles (which, considering one of them plays it, was a real threat). They drop Shakira in a ReverbNation interview, but she has heat and a wry self-awareness. This has none of that.
