I'll go ahead and give a shot on reviewing this article. Erick (talk) 23:49, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Let me start start off by saying that this one of the best articles you have ever written and I believe this is a good shot at being FA. Just fix these issues and I'll be happy to pass this GA.

Infobox

Please use the proper rationale for album images. Wikipedia takes non-free files very seriously so you can just copy this.

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 02:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Add the language parameter to the infobox.

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For the recorded parameter, you just use "2014-15" instead of "2014-2015".
Use the duration template for length

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you plan to take this FAC, then you need to add the alt paramenter on the infobx

"Upon its release Hasta la Raíz received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, with critics being skeptical about her songwriting and staying on her comfort zone as an artist, while others praised her evolution as a musician and named the album one of the best pop releases of the year." Were all the critics skeptical about her songwriting? If not, add "some" before "critics being skeptical".

"The title track was written by Lafourcade and Mexican singer-songwriter Leonel García, since Lafourcade wanted to experiment with other composers on her music and they became friends while working on her album Mujer Divina and his album Todas Mías (2012)".

They have previously collaborated on her album Mujer Divina and on García's album Todas Mías (2012).

What makes Coffee and Saturday a reliable source? Are they owned by a known Mexican company or have they been mentioned on the Mexican media?

It's just a well-done review I found, I remove it from the box, and kept the text. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"pop releases of the year (2015)" It should be: "pop releases of the year" or "pop releases of 2015". There's no need to put "the year (2015)"
