Free Music Notes for A Foreign Sound

Free Music Review: A must own
Hit: 5 Stars

I have been a huge fan of Veloso for the past three years, mostly because of his Portuguese and Spanish masterpieces, but this time around he truly pulled it off with these interpretations. This English album is truly a work of art, and Veloso's sensationally melodic voice is soothing to the ears and the soul. His interpretations of "So in love", "Feelings," "Love For Sale," "The Man I Love," and my favorite, David Byrne's "(Nothing But) Flowers" have taken each melody to another level. Byrne is decidedly right when he plays Veloso's version in his concerts... there truly could be no greater compliment.

A Foreign Sound Poster

On this new studio CD, Brazilian composer/singer/author Caetano Veloso reinterprets classic and contemporary American pop songs. Veloso's feathery, Miles Davis-like, Portuguese-inflected vocals negotiate the English language with silken skill with a 28-piece orchestra led by his long-time arranger, cellist Jaques Morelenbaum--featuring Carlinhos Brown on percussion and Veloso's gifted son Moreno on guitar--over Afro-bossa rhythms and spacey, echoplexed synth/guitar strains. Veloso sings the melody straight on the stunning string-accompanied "Feelings," and on a brave a capella reading of Cole Porter's "Love For Sale." But the fun begins when he reggae-fies Bob Dylan's "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)," sings "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" with boppish sax lines and offers a twangy take on Kurt Cobain's "Come as You Are." From Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic" to Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender" and Arto Lindsey's edgy "Detached," Veloso shows that he's a master of sonic subversion. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
