Free Music Notes for The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions
Free Music Review: Seu Jorge
Hit: 5 Stars
I like this CD. The songs sound really cool with the classical guitar and the portuguese lyrics and his voice. I try to cover the songs but I haven't got a nylong string guitar and of course I'm singing Bowie's lyrics (but his versions are easier to learn, you know, one guitar so...). Just nice to listen to.Free Music Review: "Repeat All"
Hit: 5 Stars
Great CD! Bought both the soundtrack (David Bowie fan) and this. Found the porteguese versions of Bowies songs beautiful. Very melodic! This is a CD you want to put on repeat all and listen to for any occassion!Free Music Review: a little miffed....
Hit: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this CD SOLELY because it was my understanding it had a "hidden" track, noted on this page by "15. Untitled Track", SUPPOSED to be Space Oddity, one of my all-time favorite songs & again, the SOLE reason I wanted the CD in the first place... well, its not there. Did I miss something?!!!Free Music Review: Not the first time, though...
Hit: 4 Stars
These transliterations of classic Bowie tunes into a Portuguese/Brazilian context are pretty charming and funny (...I kinda wish he'd done some with a full band though!)
A few things are worth pointing out: 1) These aren't really "bossa nova" versions of Bowie's work -- it's actually straightforward acoustic rock, which is a rarity in Brazilian music... But the main adaptation is in the lyrics, not in the style. 2) This isn't the first time this has been done. A few Brazilian artists have covered Bowie before, notably the pop band Nenhum De Nos, who had a hit in the 1980s with a Portuguese-language cover of "Starman." I suspect Bowie was really big in Brazil in the '70s and '80s... why wouldn't he be??... which would explain why he was covered so often :-) and 3) Although Seu Jorge's performances are woefully under-utilized in the film itself, you can see the full takes of many of his acoustic sessions on the "extras" reel on the 2-disc Criterion Collection DVD. Fun stuff!
Free Music Review: Bowie in portuguese
Hit: 4 Stars
Funny to hear my favorite David Bowie songs in portuguese. I find the album different, the interpretation very interesting and it takes a while to grow on you. Wonderful idea!
