Pro Reviews: Celebridade
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews In Brazil, most people don't grow up listening to Brazilian artists exclusivelyextensively, yes, but not exclusively. In Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, Brazilian pop is a huge part of the musical dietfor many, it's the dominant partbut American and European pop is also quite successful in Brazil, where someone who faithfully buys all of Daniela Mercury's CDs is also likely to be into No Doubt, Christina Aguilera or Oasis. Assembled in 2003, this Brazilian release is evenly divided between Brazilian and nonBrazilian artistsand by having an international outlook, the twoCD set underscores the diversity of the Brazilian listening experience. Disc 1 focuses on Brazilian pop, while the second disc's main focus is nonBrazilian artists. In Portuguese, the word "celebridade" means "celebrity," and Disc 1 often reads like a who'swho of Brazilian pop with selections by heavyweights like Gilberto Gil ("Com Que Roupa"), Gal Costa ("Nossos Momentos") and Chico Buarque ("Brisa do Mar"). The influence of American music (jazz as well as rock, funk and dancepop) is all over Disc 1Beth Lamas' "Fama" and Olha Não Me Olha's "Lulu" are basically disco with Portuguese lyricsand on Disc 2, Celebridade turns it attention to artists from several different countries, including the United States (Ray Charles, Luther Vandross, Michael McDonald), England (Simply Red) and Canada (Diana Krall, Alanis Morissette). English lyrics dominate Disc 2, although Celebridade's second half detours into Spanishlanguage pop with Julio Iglesias and Italian pop with Ornella Vanoni (whose "Non Mi Innamoro Più" is an Italianlanguage version of Burt Bacharach's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again"). In terms of quality, the first disc is the more consistent of the two, but overall, Celebridade is an enjoyable reflection of the various styles of music one is likely to hear in Brazil. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |
