Our Take

Amália Rodrigues, the Queen of Fado, takes a trip down Abbey Road with this limited edition release, showcasing her timeless talent in a new light. The Abbey Road Sessions breathes new life into Rodrigues' iconic tracks, with lush orchestral arrangements that elevate her haunting vocals to new heights.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, "Ai Mouraria," it's clear that Rodrigues' emotive delivery still packs a punch. The stripped-back production allows her voice to shine, backed by a symphony of strings that tug at the heartstrings.

But it's not all melancholy ballads and mournful melodies - tracks like "Barco Negro" and "Canoas Do Tejo" inject a bit of playful energy into the mix, showing off Rodrigues' versatility as an artist. The limited edition release also includes previously unreleased tracks and alternate versions, giving fans a peek behind the curtain of Rodrigues' creative process.

While some purists may argue that nothing can top the original recordings, The Abbey Road Sessions offers a fresh perspective on Rodrigues' timeless music. So pour yourself a glass of port, dim the lights, and let Amália take you on a journey through the soul of Portugal - you won't be disappointed.
