Seu Jorge's Sophomore Album (4.5 stars), Oct 22 2005
By Juan Mobili - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cru (Brazil) (Audio CD)
From the first notes of the cavaquinho on "Tive Razao," you may realize there's a lot more to Seu Jorge, than his whispered versions of vintage Bowie tunes in "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" soundtrack, and by the time you hear his version of "Chatterton" -Serge Gainsbourg's song- you'll be convinced that the breadth of this guy's music is remarkable.Although, Jorge's arrival in the Brazilian popular music scene is rather recent -discovered, you may say, for his role in 2002's City of God- and this is only his second album, the material included here already shows a singular and mature voice, at ease with honoring Bossa tradition -"Fiore De La Citta" and "Una Mujer"- as well as mixing new sounds -"Bem Querer" or Elvis's old hit "Don't."
This is an intimate album where ballads and memories from his early life in a Favela -the name given to the poor neighborhoods you'll find in all major Brazilian cities- predominate, and his singing elevates them to small gems, counting "Sao Gonca" and "Bola De Meia" in addition to those mentioned before.
All in all, a gorgeous album that can be considered quiet yet also fierce. I think of Seu Jorge as a young descendant of the Tropicalia movement, perhaps not as groundbreaking musically but just as strong on his commitment to acknowledge Brazil's social ills.

Best of 2005: Magical, Dec 14 2005
By Manny Hernandez "@askmanny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cru (Brazil) (Audio CD)
Like many people, I learned about Seu Jorge through his participation in the music for "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". I found his work interesting, but not particularly engaging. But "Cru" totally got me into his work, head in first. He reminds me of the legendary Brazillians that brought Brazil's contagious music to the forefront of the collective conscience, the likes of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Chico Buarque. Jumping from laid back to upbeat, from an urban beat to more of a serenade mellow sound, Seu Jorge will capture you with his magical music from the first track of this, one of 2005's best albums.

The new brazilian samba-bossa-cuca-nova star!!!, July 1 2005
By Telmo Moura "Telmo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cru (Audio CD)
I bought this album yesterday and i can't stop listening to it. This is just great. His voice is very nice. Seu Jorge can sing soul, bossanova, french and italian songs....Elvis' "Don't" in his voice seems to be the perfect song. After "Life Aquatic O.S.T." Seu Jorge keeps surprising me. I think that he deserves a 5 star rate!!! In portuguese, "acho que TIVE RAZÃO".
