Pambo

This Mexican singer is teetering between ingenue-driven sincerity and something a bit rougher. Some songs would be perfect fodder for a TV show aimed at adolescent girls; others gallop past that shallow grave for deeper territory. But whichever way her songs fall, Pambo's solid hook-writing should earn her a place at the pop table -- particularly when she breaks out her insistent '80s-style jangle. You'll be charmed in spite of yourself.
