Free Music Notes for Rose and Charcoal
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).
Free Music Review: Will seduce you
Hit: 5 Stars
Marisa is a huge star in Brazil and this CD personifies why.
She has the most incredibe voice I have heard, (yea - better than Ella, and Cesaria) for me!
I have all of her CD's - this is my favorite
Free Music Review: Phenomenal!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is awesome all the way thru. The voice, the instrumentation, complex and subtle at the same time. This CD could not be done any better in my opinion. I've listened to this title over and over and over, have gone out and bought all other titles (all are fantastic, I like R&C and Mais the best). When she came to the USA I went to see her show. Highly recommend buying Rose and Charcoal.Free Music Review: The best pop album I've ever heard
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a classical musician and was on tour of Brazil in the late 1970's, where I developed interest in the rhythms of traditional and pop music of Brazil.
Years later, I heard Marisa Monte's ROSE AND CHARCOAL and like most others who have written, was absolutely entranced. Her voice, her pronunciation, the arrangements. It is the best album of popular music I've ever heard. Unlike an other reviewer, I find the first song, Carlinhos Brown's "Maria de Verdades" to be hypnotic; the marriage of a beautiful soulful voice, lyrics, and instrumentation just doesn't get better than this.
This transcends music to the realm of dreamtime and Monte's voice is like a breeze.
Free Music Review: Sublime
Hit: 5 Stars
You absolutely must own this album. I can't think of any other CD that I have enjoyed more. Buy it, buy it, buy it!
