Matizes by Djavan - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Matizes is Djavan's 18th studio album, and another exemplary display of his unique style of composition and singing. As usual, Djavan writes songs that incorporate elements of jazz, bossa, soul, rock, blues, pop, and just about everything under the sun that is immaculately elegant, and yet that can never be pinpointed to any specific genre. Similarly, his lyrics exude a languid romanticism, although, as in "Imposto," he may also occasionally indulge in social criticism -- of course, those who do not speak Portuguese would never be able to comprehend its incensed subject matter, since Djavan's vocal delivery remains as suave as ever. However, as accomplished as it is, Matizes is no masterpiece, but just a fine addition to Djavan's impeccable discography. In this sense, it is telling that the album's best moments are those that most immediately remind the listener of previous Djavan songs, such as the title track; the trademark first single, "Pedra"; and the samba tribute to Rio de Janeiro, "Louça Fina." ~ Mariano Prunes
