It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Tom Jobim and Elis Regina energies, virtually a rebirth. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Tom Jobim and Elis Regina’s album Elis and Tom falls to No. 2 with 650,000, a sales slide of 76%. Since completing 1974’s ‘Aguas De Marco’, Tom Jobim and Elis Regina fulfilled their contract with Sparrow Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Elis and Tom touched my soul like nothing else.
Pois E - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Tom Jobim and Elis Regina. So Tinha De Ser Com Voce is a striking and quite long song. The sound in Modinha is really warm and Tom Jobim and Elis Regina’s signature voice is still very much present. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Corcovado because the melody in the chorus is so good. Listening to O Que Tinha De Ser you can hear that Tom Jobim and Elis Regina has still amazing chemistry with band members. Retrato Em Preto E Branco is a fine track on any terms. A great put together song. Por Toda A Minha Vida pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Fotografia - A nice song. The sound of Soneto De Separacao is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. I like Chovendo Na Roseira because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Inutil Paisagem still maintains something of a specific flourish.
