Free Music Notes for Beach Samba
Free Music Review: A Fun Album
Hit: 4 Stars
I got "Beach Samba" and "September 17, 1969" for Christmas 2007. Of the two, I like "Beach Samba" better. Released in 1967, it perfectly captures the breeziness of that year's music. "Beach Samba" is fun, jazzy, up-tempo, and well produced. Astrud's vocals are as charming as ever, and it doesn't have pop pretentious in the way "September 17, 1969" does (a cover of "Light My Fire," really?). On "Beach Samba," she is still close to her Latin/bossa roots. Most of the songs here are in English. "Canoeiro" (which, near as I can tell, is about Brazil's canoe people) is in Portuguese. "Face That I Love" is one of her better songs, which I had first heard years ago on her wonderful "Finest Hour" CD. "Face that I Love" makes me think of couples strolling on the boardwalk as fireworks explode behind them. I also liked "Oba, Oba." I would say "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice" (a Lovin' Spoonful cover) was too cute (she sings it with her young son, Marcello), if it wasn't so unselfconscious. The album ends well with "Nao Bate O Corocao." The bonus tracks are good if you've never heard them before, but for devoted Astrud fans, they are too familiar. "Goodbye Sadness" seems to land on every album of hers.
