Albert Hammond Jr separated himself just a little bit more from The Strokes on his latest studio effort. Released on July 7th of this year, Como Te Llama (amazon) (itunes), takes some of his tried and true roots and builds on them, further cementing his musical credibility. Overall the album is a solid addition to his career {I mean c’mon, the guy plays guitar on Is This It, has played with The Strokes for ages, and already had one good album in his solo shift}. One thing the album does very well is reveal the talent base of his other band. While Julian Casablancas might be the signature front man it appears, or at least sounds, like much of the music comes straight from the brain of this man.

The bottom line is that if you like anything The Strokes have done or you liked Albert’s first solo album then Como Te Llama is right up your alley. The bright side is that even if you didn’t like anything that has come before this album there is enough sustenance here that it could easily qualify as a good starting point for your Albert Hammond Jr love affair.
