Free Music Review: The coolest sound from Rio
Hit: 4 Stars
The second Celso Fonseca album comes as a nice surprise to me. The first didn't impress me that much, but this contains high quality songs (well unless you are tired of the bossa nova stereotype) and a great voice, really a bit too much similar to Caetano Veloso but this is not a fault but a pleasure to me.
Two of the songs are really wonderful,"Rio para tras" and "Um mondo estranho". Not that peculiar the cover of Damien Rice and the instrumental "Atlantico". Very nice the duet with Jorge Drexler and the cover of Henri Salvador. Probably a bit too much all in the same mood but very classy. The production is minimal but when the songs are good they don't need much more than a voice and an acoustic guitar.

i was on iTunes (as i am most of the time) and stumbled upon this album due 2 a "referral" and i have 2 tell u, it's completely worth every penny i spent! i've been a huge fan of bossa nova 4 a few years now and this guy's sound is very close 2 the original stuff (or the closest i've heard thus far). his voice seems 2 melt over the music like butter (ok that was corny). my favorite song on this album is "Pousada". so, check this out if u're up 2 hearing what the new sound of brazil has 2 offer!Free Music Review: Lady Day is to Madeleine Peyroux as Caetano Veloso is to...

This would be Caetano's best album since "Livro" if it were really him. Nothing ground breaking here, but as usual with Brazilian music, it's the subtleties that make this a pleasant listen. That is, if you can get past Mr. Fonseca's voice sounding exactly like Caetano Veloso's. On his previous albums, it was nowhere near this pronounced. I liked Jon Faddis a lot better once Diz passed.
