This review is from: A Foreign Sound (Audio CD)
These classic songs take on a new meaning - His renditions make you search your soul for feelings you once remembered - "The Man I Love" is a revelation - "Feelings" reminds me of the first time I was in Rio thirty years ago - The author, Santiago Nasarian, should run out and by this album - I think it would give him a new perspective -

This review is from: A Foreign Sound (Audio CD)
ITs possible to both love and hate it, depending on your mucial origins. Myself, while I thought the jazz standard covers were somewhat shmaltzy, I found the pop covers (Nirvana, Talking Heads, Bob Dylan) completely enthralling. And very weird. These alone make this album a classic. The rest is pleasnt filler!

5.0 out of 5 stars you have to listen it several times, Jun 18 2004
By 
This review is from: A Foreign Sound (Audio CD)
As you can see on the other reviews people either love or hate this album. I think it's because it's very hard to listen at first. It sounds really weird specially if you are used to the popular versions of these songs, but after you've listened to it a couple times you end up understanding the beautiful different way Caetano sings them. At least you'll recognize "Cry me a river", "The man I love", "Smoke get's in your Eyes", "Feelings" and "Love for sale", all of them beautifully sung. My personal favorite is "Something good", from "The sound of music".
So my advice is keep on listening, you'll love it.
