Rosa does everything, December 29, 2002
This review is from: Azul (Audio CD)
It's amazing how someone so talented could go unknown for so long. Rosa has the rare vocal quality to put so much emotion in every word she sings. The material present in this disc goes from haunting ballad to swinging big band treatments. In her ballads you can hear the influence of Billy & Sarah, singing of loss and pain in a way so beautiful it makes you cry. The larger orchestrations remind you of the days when all live musicians in a band could raise the hairs on the back of your neck. With so much going on Rosa never gets lost, and that sweet,clear voice comes through to hold you in its embrace. More than just a bossa nova artist Rosa proves she can sing everything from jazz to blues to bossa nova.
