Editorial Reviews Carlos Olmeda, "Sensitive Groove" (Bella Nova): Unlike the golden-girl singer cruising through the title track of his new album, Carlos Olmeda may not kill you with his sensitive groove. But his sharp folk-rock tunes are guaranteed to pierce you where it hurts. Beginning with the hushed paranoia of "A Girl Downstairs" and winding through the antsy musings of "A Devil Like Me" and the snarky title track, "Sensitive Groove" is full of pretty music with a pungent bite. Olmeda has the breathy Dan Fogelberg croon down cold, but his blend of folk simplicity and pop ambition give his songs both a bright surface and an arresting depth. His mix of traditional American forms of music with Afro-Latin influences contributes to a style of writing and singing that sets Olmeda apart from his contemporaries.
