Our Take

Karen Souza Essentials II is like a refreshing cup of English breakfast tea on a rainy London afternoon: comforting, familiar, and just a little bit surprising. The album, which serves as a compilation of the Argentinian singer's unique takes on jazz and bossa nova classics, is a delightful journey through her smooth and sultry vocals. From the opening track "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" to the closing notes of "Tainted Love," Souza effortlessly reinvents these iconic songs with her own special flair. Her voice, like a warm hug from an old friend, wraps around you and pulls you in, enticing you to sway along to the rhythm and lose yourself in the music. One of the standout tracks on the album is her rendition of "Creep," originally by Radiohead. Souza's interpretation brings a whole new dimension to the song, transforming it into a hauntingly beautiful ballad that will give you chills. Throughout Essentials II, Souza proves why she is a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz. Her talent and charisma shine through in every note, making this album a must-listen for any music lover looking to experience something truly special. So go ahead, pour yourself a drink, sit back, and let Karen Souza take you on a mesmerizing musical journey - you won't be disappointed.
