Jackson 5 - Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5
70

🇺🇸: It’s an album of its time and not very different from the general Motown sound, but the brothers’ talent truly shines here. That shine isn’t limited only to Michael, who naturally stands out, but the record also gives space for everyone to try and claim their moment in the spotlight.

🇧🇷: É um álbum do seu tempo e não é muito diferente do som da Motown em geral, mas o talento dos irmãos realmente brilha aqui. Esse brilho ... read more

Charli xcx - Wuthering Heights
70

🇺🇸: To be fair, the score might be lower if it weren’t Charli. She manages to blend her identity into an industrial style so different from the biggest success of her career, and tie it to a soundtrack, is already bold enough. Maintaining quality within those constraints is even more challenging. For a mainstream pop listener, the fact that it’s a good experience says a lot about the strength of the material, given how hard the genre can be to the ears.

Michael Bolton - Every Day of My Life
50

🇺🇸: The album is a bit random. Part of Bolton’s romantic identity is already present here, but in a very embryonic way. It’s clear that it still needed refinement; overall, it’s fairly passable.

🇧🇷: O álbum é um pouco aleatório. Parte da identidade romântica do Bolton está presente aqui, mas de uma maneira bem embrionária. Fica claro que ainda faltavam ajustes; no geral, é bem passável.

Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '77 - Home Cooking
55

🇺🇸: It’s not that it isn’t interesting, but it’s confusing. Maybe it’s even too “experimental” for me to fully appreciate, but it sounds uncertain. I like the idea, just not the execution.

🇧🇷: Não é que não seja interessante, mas é confuso. Talvez seja até “experimental” demais para eu conseguir apreciar plenamente, mas soa incerto. Gosto da ideia, mas não da execução.

The Beatles - Please Please Me
70

🇺🇸: They really came out "swinging", as I would say if I were alive in '63. While their sound aligned with their contemporaries, there’s something rebellious about the boys from Liverpool that made the Beatles iconic from this very Debut—especially in how they remained adaptable while maintaining the solidity of a Pop album.

🇧🇷: Eles realmente chegaram "arrebentando a boca do balão" como eu diria se estivesse vivo em 63. Apesar do som ... read more
