Free Music Review: Heavenly debut of CeU
Hit: 5 Stars
Corporate behemoth/self-proclaimed tastemaker Starbucks is promoting CeU's debut album along with its vaguely sweet dulce de leche lattes and mango empanadas as part of its Latin America month...and for once,they are promoting a worthy artist. CeU is the more thoughtful counterpart to Bebel Gilberto. Whereas Bebel Gilberto uses Brazilian rhythms, CeU has Brazilian instruments as well,such as th exotic-sounding cuica (sometimes called the Brazilian theremin).
CeU's debut is promising;she's capable of taking her place among other Sao Paulo luminaries-the late Suba, Chico Cesar (whom she thanks),and Ana Rita Simonka. Her album has a great deal of variety-it has something for everyone or every mood. There's the Afropop of "Rainha",the Spanish flamenco of "Vinheta Dorival",the ideal road trip song "Roda" and the smooth&spirited cover version of Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle." "Lenda" is deeply soulful,putting Joss Stone&Norah Jones to shame."Mais um lamento","10 contados",and "Bobagem" are thoughtful and melancholy,showing CeU's emotional range."Valsa pra Biu Roque" is a stately waltz."Veu da Noite" sounds like a late night torch song in a jazz club."Ave Cruz" is a frothy reggae song that mocks the sappiness of telenovelas. Joao Bosco (whose spicy "Vatapa" is on Putumayo's "Brasilero" compilation),composed the "A ronco da Cuica",a song fit for Carnival. The closing song,"Samba no Sola" is a joyful and vibrant song in praise of samba.
CeU's debut is amazing,vibrant,and varied.It's a perfect introduction to the variety of Brazilian music.CeU is a talent whose future looks bright.Hopefully Brazilian music fans (and newcomers to the genre) will be hearing more from her.
Ceu (Dig) Poster
It's no surprise that Starbucks is behind Brazilian chanteuse CéU's self-titled debut disc. (A co-release with the ever-tasteful Six Degrees Records.) The slinky, soulful sounds would be right at home amid mocha frapuccinos and lattes with extra foam. But CéU is more than a mere coffee-club cutie. Her sexy, assured vocals infuse every song with a come-hither vibe, from the playful "Rainha" to the simmering "10 Contados." The disc also showcases a slightly funky, urban sensibility; and electronic flourishes amplify the modern feel. "Vinheta Dorival" segues from standard guitar licks into gentle percussion rhythms. And a cover of Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle" is elegant and effortless. Though originally released overseas in 2005, CéU's captivating collection still rings with truth and vibrancy. A truly caffeinated experience. --Joey GuerraInternational Music CDs
