Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

While The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou movie got mixed reviews, the soundtrack was universally hailed as excellent. The standout was Jorge, who not only had a role as an actor but also played a handful of Bowie songs solo with acoustic guitar, singing them in Portuguese ­ it was a perfect combination of beautiful songs laid bare with a bit of exotic Brazilian spice to add fresh flavor. This collection features the whole of that Bowie session, which means Jorge's six songs from the soundtrack, seven other Bowie tunes and one playful Jorge original entitled "Team Zissou." Even though 2005 saw the release of his domestic debut Cru (which mostly featured his own songs and a band), Jorge found himself touring the U.S. in front of large crowds of 20-somethings who patiently waited for those Bowie songs. This album obviously gives the people what they want, and the good news is that the other versions are just as good as the ones that are on the original soundtrack. ­ --Tad Hendrickson

    Perfect sunny day music, good breeze, grilling in the back yard, Bowie in Portuguese on a nylon string classical guitar. Perfection, you need this. Buy!

    Great album. Not a major downside, but Space Oddity isn't on physical copies and is only available in iTunes.

    I bought this CD because I think " The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" is a masterpiece of cinema. The Bowie renditions by Seu Jorge are like a spice used judiciously in a signature culinary dish: You don't necessarily notice it right away but if it wasn't there you'd certainly miss it.
    This CD in its entirety is in my entertaining playlist and somewhere between the welcome drink and the appetizer my date usually says something like " Hey, that's a David Bowie song!", and it establishes my home as THE place to be and me as THE person by whom to be entertained.
    I would advise a good thorough serious listen also because I find it sonically perfect at the correct volume: This is not something crank up and blast like Ziggy Stardust (& TSFM). Do yourself a favor and get it in your dinner 'party" playlist along with Rampal & Bolling 'Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano " and Van the man's "Astral Weeks"...
    If you play it right, your party will be a sucess!

    It shipped quickly but when I opened it the case had a large crack in it. Not a huge deal--especially since the CD itself was fine.

    I saw this guy perform downtown Nashville in 2016. I couldn't understand half of what he said (when speaking in English). You don't have to understand what he says when he sings though. He could singing about calling me an idiot and it would still sound awesome. This guys voice is awesome. The movie is one of my favorites and watched it at least 20 times after I discovered it. Bill Murray is just hilarious. But Seu Jorge just sounds amazing. Wish i could have actually met the guy at his show. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes good music. I mean it's all Bowie covers but Seu Jorge sounds awesome.

    An absolute must listen for even the most casual Bowie fan or fan of excellent covers. The Portugese lyrics make the songs sound even more sophisticated, if that's really possible for any DB tune. Heck, I've read that Bowie himself loved them and there is no greater praise than that.

    I love Bowie, I love Wes Anderson films, and now I love Seu Jorge. This is a special gift of music and a love letter to Bowie that lets you hear how Seu hears it. Good, folky, Portuguese sung covers of some of Bowie's most beloved classics. Bowie himself said he very much enjoyed hearing these versions. So why wouldn't you? Yeah, that's right... buy a copy of this right now. It'll make you smile.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tolles Album von Seu Jorge
    Reviewed in Germany on October 17, 2024
    Musik ist bekanntlich Geschmacksache. Wer die Art von Musik kennt wird dieses Album lieben. Seu Jorge ist großartig, man kann das Album gut durchhören. Die Hits sind natürlich genial aber auch die anderen Songs sind hörenswert.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Cambiaron el precio
    Reviewed in Mexico on August 28, 2018
    He comprado más de 10 discos en Amazón y nunca habían cambiado el precio final del disco. Soy Prime, encargué el disco y no me llegó al día siguiente y tampoco me mandaron una notificación de lo que estaba pasando.

    A la semana me mandaron un correo diciendo que el disco aumentó de precio y que tardaría 16 días en llegar. Aún así lo compré, pero no me pareció la forma en que lo manejaron.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cover davvero di gran gusto
    Reviewed in Italy on February 11, 2019
    Si tratta della colonna sonora dell'omonimo film di Wes Anderson.
    Curiosa raccolta di cover di David Bowie, arrangiate e suonate con la chitarra acustica come fossero pezzi di bossanova: la mia descrizione può lasciare perplessi, ma vi assicuro che il risultato è notevole e di gran gusto. I brani proposti li potete trovare quasi tutti qui https://amzn.to/2Ds1ltf in versione originale.
