Her self-titled album 'Evelyn Cornejo' is available on her blog to be downloaded for free. In the disc download file, the artwork and lyrics are also attached.
As for the interpretation, composition and vocalization, Evelyn does a remarkable job, with a vocal register that she does not make the most of, you can appreciate a correct tuning and vocal arrangements made by Evelyn herself, which she appreciates. Most of her songs are performed with guitar, vocal arrangements and some percussion, but you can also listen to arrangements made by Subverso.
As LaÚltimaPapita says: "Evelyn Cornejo sings in the face of those who call themselves "from the town" and at their feet spits out the brand-new bills they receive for a gig. She howls between accordions and guitars the words that (barely) are heard in the halls of public hospitals, in the waiting rooms of the medical offices, in the white and green vans. Evelyn is not going to sound on the radio, she is not going to be interviewed in El Mercurio, we will not listen to her as a guest on some morning show."

Solo Tú
Evelyn Cornejo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se llena con un sólo amor (bis)
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú (bis)
Las dos nos vamos de viaje
A conocer los paisajes (bis)
Mañana tomaremos el ramal
Iremos a disfrutar del mar
Se me ha olvidado ese detalle
Que la Celco invadió Constitución
Y el azul de su mar se empezó a gastar.
Y el azul de su mar se empezó a cansar.
Mañana iremos a Curicó
Iremos a disfrutar del sol
Se me ha olvidado ese detallito
Que la Celco invadió al Mataquito
Y el azul del caudal se empezó a gastar.
Y el azul del caudal se empezó a cansar.
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú
Sólo tú, sólo tú, solo tú, tú. tú
In Evelyn Cornejo's song "Sólo Tú," the lyrics describe the singer's heart being filled with one love, and that love is the person she is addressing in the song - "Sólo Tú" which in English means "Only You." The lyrics also describe the two of them going on a trip to see different landscapes, but the reality of industrialization and pollution impacting these places are not lost on the singer who talks about how the pulp mill, Celco, has invaded and started to damage the coastal town of Constitución and the Mataquito river. The repetition of "Sólo tú" throughout the song seems to indicate that the singer is confident that the love she shares with her partner is strong enough to withstand these external factors.
There is a sense of nostalgia in the song as the singer talks about how she and her partner will visit these places and enjoy the beauty of the land, without the interference of pollution or industry. The lyrics are poignant as they convey the importance of taking care of the environment and the impact of human activity on nature, contrasting with the beauty of the natural landscapes which the singer describes.
