Our Take

Ah, the unlikely duo of Frank Sinatra and Antonio Jobim. One known for his smooth crooning, the other for his bossa nova stylings. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, turns out, not much. In fact, this collaboration between the two legends is surprisingly delightful. Sinatra's velvety vocals pair perfectly with Jobim's laid-back guitar work, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

Tracks like "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado" showcase the seamless chemistry between the two artists, with Sinatra effortlessly gliding over Jobim's lush arrangements. It's like they were made for each other.

But it's not all smooth sailing. Some tracks, like "Dindi," veer dangerously close to elevator music territory. And the occasional cheesy lyric can make you cringe just a little bit.

Overall, though, Sinatra Jobim is a solid effort from two musical giants. It may not be groundbreaking, but it's certainly a pleasant listen for fans of either artist. So sit back, relax, and let Sinatra and Jobim take you on a musical journey to the beaches of Brazil.

Verdict: 7.5/10

About the artist

Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra & Antonio Jobim In the swinging sixties, when the air was thick with cigarette smoke and the sound of bossa nova floated through the room, there were two musical legends who joined forces to create something truly magical. Frank Sinatra, the Chairman of the Board himself, and Antonio Jobim, the Brazilian master of the gentle sway, came together to bring us a collaboration that would go down in history. Sinatra, known for his smooth vocals and undeniable charm, may have been an unlikely partner for Jobim, whose music was a world away from the glitz and glamour of the Rat Pack. But when these two musical titans met, something special happened. Sinatra's velvety croon effortlessly intertwined with Jobim's lush guitar melodies, creating a sound that was both sophisticated and soulful. Their album, “Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim,” released in 1967, is a masterpiece of musical fusion. From the swaying rhythms of “The Girl From Ipanema” to the melancholic beauty of “Meditation,” every track on the album showcases the effortless chemistry between these two musical giants. Sinatra & Jobim may have come from different worlds, but together they created a musical landscape that was truly unique. So, if you ever find yourself longing for a taste of that cool, bossa nova breeze, just pop on their album and let the smooth sounds of Sinatra and Jobim transport you to a time when music was king.
