Free Music Review: The best album of Brazil's best female singer
Hit: 5 Stars
I LOVE Ms Monte's voice, it's extremely expressive and has great range. Her voice has a plaintive, almost "little girl lost" quality that is particularly endearing. It's the kind of voice you never tire of listening to.
The only minor defects in Rose and Charcoal are first, the producers allowed some instrumentation to overwhelm Ms Monte's vocals (Segue o Seco; Ao Meu Redor), and second, the lyrics sometimes descend to the level of senselessly obscure (Maria de Verdade) and the callowly banal (Pale Blue Eyes).
Rose and Charcoal Poster
Marisa Monte's light but authoritative vocals could easily make her just another Brazilian pop sensation, but her choice of material and the company she keeps make her an artist to be reckoned with. Producer Arto Lindsay provides innovative and breezy backdrops (mostly in the samba vein) for the poetically surreal and romantic lyrics of Monte, Nando Reis, Carlinhos Brown, Paulinho da Viola, Arnaldo Antunes, Jorge Benjor, and even Lou Reed. Many of Brazil's superstar musicians are present, along with guest contributions from Laurie Anderson, Phillip Glass, and keyboardist Bernie Worrell from Parliament, melding well with Monte's enticing and totally Brazilian contemplations on life and love. Rose and Charcoal is elevated from easy listening by the magical imagery of the lyrics, freely translated in the liner notes. --Derek RathInternational Music CDs
