Free Music Review: wonderful discovery
Hit: 5 Stars
Amazing amazing album from Seu Jorge (what is his last name???)...bought this on a whim, while getting his Life Aquatic Sessions. His voice is that paradox of being cool and nonchalant, yet emotion-filled at all the right tugs of heart-strings. I'm emo but Jorge sure knows how to sing to you, and you'd thought you're the only one listening to him. wow. be still my heart.
Cru Poster
Seu Jorge is a voice straight out of the favelas, Rio de Janeiro's notoriously violent slums where grinding poverty and desperation exist side-by-side with a musical hotbed. Once a homeless street child, he broke into the big time in the 2002 film, City Of God, an unsparingly frank look at life and death in the old neighborhood. Then he was prominently featured on the soundtrack to director Wes Anderson's comedy The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, where he put a whole new spin on vintage David Bowie songs. On Cru (Raw), Jorge is in his element, alternately growling or crooning amid acoustic guitars, harp-like cavaquihnos and shrieking, whining cuicas (friction percussion played with an oil-soaked rag). He remains confrontational, whether delivering a political rant (Eu Sou Favela), expressing disgust over the ubiquity of grotesquely huge breast implants (Mania De Peit?o), or applying hip-hop to carnival percussion (Bem Querer). The set is rounded out with covers of Don't, a Lieber and Stoller tune that was a hit for Elvis Presley, and Chatterton, from the lethal pen of the late French singer-composer-agent provocateur Serge Gainsbourg. --Christina RodenJapanese pressing of the world music star's 2005 album.
