Camila Fernández does not need to endure every betrayal she sings about to know how heartbreak should sound. Long before she recorded the pleas, recriminations, and emotional devastation of her third studio album, Una raya más al tigre, the Mexican singer received an unusual education in singing through pain from her divorced parents.
Fernández, the daughter of Alejandro Fernández and América Guinart, has been in a stable relationship with her husband, Francisco Barba, for years. Yet when she sings about abandoned lovers and broken promises, she summons the emotional intensity of someone who has survived a lifetime of romantic disasters.
