Our Take

Amalia Rodrigues, the queen of Fado, returns from the grave to bust some serious musical chops in her newest album "Busto." With a voice that can move mountains and lyrics that can break hearts, Rodrigues proves once again why she is a timeless icon in the music industry.

From the hauntingly beautiful melody of "Fado Portugues" to the toe-tapping rhythms of "Lisboa Antiga," Rodrigues captivates listeners with her soulful performances. Each track is like a musical journey through the streets of Lisbon, filled with emotion, passion, and longing.

The production on "Busto" is top-notch, with lush orchestral arrangements and expertly crafted instrumentation that elevate Rodrigues' already stunning vocals. It's clear that a lot of love and care went into the making of this album, and it shows in every note.

But it's not all melancholy ballads and somber tunes on "Busto." Rodrigues also shows her playful side with tracks like "Povo que Lavas no Rio," where she lets loose and has a bit of fun. It's a refreshing change of pace that adds even more depth to an already multi-dimensional album.

In conclusion, Amalia Rodrigues' "Busto" is a must-listen for any music lover. With her incredible talent, undeniable charisma, and timeless appeal, Rodrigues proves once again that she is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the queen of Fado serenade you with her latest masterpiece.
