in may 2016, "ilevitable" was released to the praise of critic and peers. according to npr "the album established her immediately as a first-class interpreter of the classic sounds that flow through latin america." jon pareles of the new york times described it as "a knowingly retro survey of latin music's past, full of romance and a longing that can turn despondent. she sings richly orchestrated boleros, delicate ballads and percussive boogaloo and mambo, without a hint of either irony or naïveté."
