Rosana Album: “Rosana [Ovação]”

ROSANA:One of the best Cd's I have in my collection. Rosana has this ability to make anyone feel good. The music is that kind that dosn't fall into any caterogy, it is simply:Rosana. The melodies are infectious, the voice strong and with an awsome texture, and the lyrics are modern folk poetry. My english is novery good yet, so expresing how special Rosana's music is for me is hard, but I can tell you that every one of her CD's brings up the most positive thoughts in my head. When I listen to Rosana I see the world through this good frame of refrence, where everything, no mater how bad can be overcomed with a positive mind. A bad relationship, a crapy day, stress... Rosana is like a pill of energy. She sings to life, and makes you wanna do the same. Buy The three CD's. You won't regret it. JP

This is my first CD by ROSANA. I'm very impressed! Oftentimes, singers try to mimic other successful singers. In this CD, I find ROSANA has a very good and unique singing voice and style that I can't compare to anyone else. Each track is unique and the overall arrangements are very good. I especially like the track "Donde Ya No Te Tengo" since it has a jazzy / blues feeling.

The only track that I really don't like is "Mil Y Una Noche" because I'm not a big fan of mariachi. I didn't deduct for it because it is the "bonus" track. I guess that's what I really like about this CD. It goes from a jazzy / blue track to a pop track to a mariachi track. Lucky for me, there's only one mariachi track which I can avoid.

Rosana has the perfect mix of poetic lyrics, gorgeous voice & catchy tunes--this is one of the few CDs I own that I can listen to over & over & over again & never get tired of it. It is a bestseller in Spain for very good reasons--pure soul. Some songs are a little melancholic, some are just exuberantly happy--it is a must hear, you won't regret it.

Rosana expresses to me (an Englishman) the soul of the very best of Spanish womanhood: joyous, passionate, mischievous, delightful, devoted, suffering, sensuous, rhythmic, happy-to-be-a-woman (sigh!)

The lyrics - pure poetry seeming to come from the depths of her soul - and the "girl-next-door" joyful naiveté of her voice make you want to pick her up and make love to her forever (no disprespect intended, ma'am).

What more can I say? Buy *all* her work to keep her writing and singing, and give thanks to God for this amazing woman.

I'm off to take a cold shower...
