De Todas las Flores [1] is the tenth studio album by Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade. It was released on 28 October 2022 on Sony Music Mexico. It draws inspiration from a variety of Latin jazz and folk genres, including bolero, cumbia, bossa nova, samba, and son jarocho.[2]

Background and recording

De Todas las Flores became Lafourcade's first project of completely original material in seven years, since her fifth studio album Hasta la Raíz (2015).[3] The album was produced by French-Mexican musician Adán Jodorowsky, once a neighbor of Lafourcade in Mexico City, who also enlisted American guitarist Marc Ribot, American bassist Sebastian Steinberg, and French percussionist Cyril Atef to play on the album. Pianist and arranger Emilio Dorantes also performs on the album.

Lafourcade described the album as her "musical diary," exploring heartbreak, loss, and grief themes. She drew inspiration from nature, especially her home garden in Xalapa, Veracruz.[4] The album's title "references the inner flowers that have withered and the ones still blooming."[5] Lafourcade's influences for the album include Violeta Parra, Omara Portuondo, and Joni Mitchell.

The album was recorded entirely on analog tape in a Texas town near El Paso.

Critical reception

De Todas las Flores was met with critical acclaim, with several publications listing it among the best albums of 2022. AllMusic's Thom Jurek praised the album's "exquisite taste, emotion, and adventure," describing Lafourcade's singing as "warm, immediate, intimate, and commanding."
