Jason Mraz and Ximena Sariñana

By 1 Comment

Mi Gente! I just came across a new a very  new and unique sounding recording of Jason Mraz’s song “Lucky”.

This track was originally recorded with Colby Caillat on vocals and was entirely in English.

This version now features singer Ximena Sariñana singing  newly written verses in Spanish, adding her own little flare to the song…

I must admit that I’m not a big fan of the verses done by Ximena..I like the original melody more….or maybe I’m just used to hearing it with Colby’s smooth voice??

I can deal with the Chorus, and bridge. They sound Ok…They work….amazing?? No se…

The translation isn’t bad, and Jason Mraz’s Spanish isn’t bad for a gringo…

kudos to both artists!  I give it a B…solid song

    I give it a C/C+. I’m generally a fan of both Jason and Ximena’s own material, but the collaboration in covering a great song lacked the musical chemistry conveyed in the original recording w/ CC. Perhaps some songs just sound better in the native language? Granted, it is my personal judgement, and in no way an attempt to criticize either’s brilliant trajectory. Simply. to promote a discussion. – Chrystian López
