Title: Liquid Interpretations
Review: I bet it must have been a difficult task for Joyce to interpret Elis Regina's music without her covers missing the point. A lot of times, when artists do tribute albums, they sound awkward and cannot even capture the emotional depth that is conveyed in their own recordings. Not Joyce.Joyce managed to brilliantly cover these songs, while retaning her smooth style. I really like that. This shows artistic intelligence.In short, this CD is great (an understatement). Joyce captures Elis so well that it seems like the two women intertwine. Can you say channeling??? The control in Joyce's voice is remarkable because it shows that she is taking her time to make a point. It is almost like talking to someone face to face. And when she lets it out, you hear a sort of silent celebration bursting forth. You look at her and know she is always celebrating, without having to shout. Her sense of artistry is very refined and it really comes out in this CD because it is a "cover".
Is the review positive or negative?
