Mon Laferte ft. Juanes – Amárrame

Mon and Juanes get roped into doing a duet…

[6.67]Thomas Inskeep: “Tie me up,” Mon Laferte and Juanes sing to each other over a slightly twisted salsa rhythm, appropriate for the slightly twisted lyrics: “call me but don’t talk to me/kiss me and kill me,” they coo. Horns, organ, finger-picked guitar, even a clarinet augment the proceedings, which meld into such a seductive stew that you can’t help but want to submit by the time it’s all over.

Iain Mew: It’s great to hear a duet that sounds like a conversation working in different ways towards the same place. They complement each other perfectly in the moments when they sing together, her providing the lead force and him backing up with calm confidence.

Cassy Gress: This song sounds like a wink and a beckon. Not necessarily in a boudoir-y, humid way, but more like a familiar, playful invitation. Juanes’s voice is a bit weak, but Mon’s is powerful enough to elevate their duets single-handedly.

Tim de Reuse: Laferte’s delivery is sharp and sweet against the brass-heavy sound palette, but Juanes doesn’t bring anything interesting to the table; his voice is completely overwhelmed whenever they’re singing a duet, and where he’s singing alone he just sounds lost.

Katherine St Asaph: Mon Laferte and Juanes luxuriate while an arrangement gathers around them slowly, like steam.

Alfred Soto: The smoky organ complements Juanes’ delivery, and with Mon Laferte piping in like another keyboard “Amarrame,” grinds like a Latin Playboys track circa 1996. And I can’t escape the title pun, you saucy devils.
