** 1/2 Alejandro Sanz, “El Alma Al Aire,” WEA Latina. This talented singer-songwriter from Spain makes the kind of crisp, manipulatively romantic music you hear on expensive lingerie commercials. Sanz’s hooks are undeniably compelling, but the fussy production values taint his sensitive feelings with an air of artificiality. It’s time Latin pop returns to rougher, more uncertain terrain.
