The lyrics do get you to think about love as a soap opera or bossa nova, whereas sex is more like movies and Carnaval, respectively. “Amor e Sexo” looks at the differences between love and sex. The opening track for example, originated with an article written by Brazilian journalist Arnaldo Jabor.
Whether in a ballad or a high-energy dance track, Lee knows about love, as the songs in this album will convince you. Is there a message in Balacobaco? Hmm, it’s evident that love permeates several of the songs. If you simply want to know and are keeping track of my favorite albums of 2003, this is another one of my top 10 favorites. Then the lyrics she sings will grab you, and besides, you need some rest, too.Īfter taking a short break with her previous album of Brazilian covers to Beatles music, Aqui, Ali, Em Qualquer Lugar (2001), Rita Lee returns with a sensational album. It is just impossible, except when she sings a slow song, of course. I dare anyone to listen to her music and remain still.
From her early days with Os Mutantes, back in the late 1960’s, up to now, Brazil’s Queen of Rock continues to innovate with her music and strong messages. It is hard to imagine the long and successful career Rita Lee has maintained.
