Já falamos aqui sobre as meninas do “The Puppini Sisters”. Agora elas estão devolta com um novo cd, Hollywood. O estilo super retrô que remete ao Jazz e ao som das Big Bands dos anos 30 continua o mesmo. As regravações também continuam presentes. Canções como “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”, “Get Happy” e “Hollywood”, apenas para citar algumas, merecem atenção e são alguns dos destaques deste novo álbum.
As moçoilas também cantaram com Michael Bublé em um especial de Natal da emissora NBC:
Fica comigo esta noite
E não te arrependerás.
Lá fora o frio é um açoite
Calor aqui tu terás.
Terás meus beijos de amor
Minhas carícias terás
Fica comigo esta noite
E não te arrependerás.
Quero em teus braços, querida,
Adormecer e sonhar
Esquecer que nos deixamos
Sem nos querermos deixar
Tu ouvirás o que eu digo
Eu ouvirei o que dizes
Fica comigo esta noite
E então seremos felizes
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain’t no good
You shouldn’t let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain’t it hard when you discover that
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you’d better lift your diamond ring, you’d better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
They want money because they want the best
Can I really destroy?
They want a way of happiness, another way on the road
This way of life, is it the best?
Can I really destroy?
Modern lover, modern feeling
They find it in the noise
They want a job because they want the best
Can I really destroy?
Logic of life is in sex, violence and noise
Quem aguardava ansiosamente pelo último trabalho da diva Amy Winehouse, Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasure, talvez tenha se decepcionado. O álbum foi lançado no início de dezembro de 2011 e conta com 12 faixas. Apesar de ser uma cantora super talentosa, dona de uma voz exuberante, digna das cantoras de blues e Jazz, neste disco Amy deixou a desejar…
No todo as músicas são muito boas, algumas novas versões de Valerie e Wake Up Alone valem a pena, assim como a versão de Garota de Ipanema:
A primeira impressão foi de que os produtores e a gravadora “juntou” todo material inédito para lançar, cinco meses após sua morte, um disco novo no mercado. Depois de todos os problemas de saúde da cantora é difícil imaginá-la lúcida em um estúdio para gravar um novo álbum, mesmo com tanta espera do público e da crítica. Bom, ele pode não ter superado as expectativas, mas continua sendo um trabalho de Amy Winehouse, ou seja, vale muito a pena ouvir!
Dear, I fear we’re facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn’t bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do…
So I cry, and I pray, and I beg
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can’t care ’bout anything but you…
Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don’t care if you really care
As long as you don’t go
So I cry, I pray and I beg
Love me, love
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can’t care ’bout anything but you…
(Anything but you…)
Love me, love me
(Say that you love me)
Fool me, fool me
(Go on and fool me)
Love me, love me
(I know that you need me)
I can’t care ’bout anything but you…
You just walk in, I make you smile
It’s cool but you don’t even know me
You take an inch, I run a mile
Can’t win you’re always right behind me
And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it or just don’t even bother
Caught in a craze, it’s just a phase
Or will this be around forever
Don’t you know it’s going too fast
Racing so hard you know it won’t last
Don’t you know, what can’t you see
Slow it down, read the sing so you know just where you’re going
Stop right now, thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you, always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Do do do do, do do do do
Do do do always be together
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba stay that way forever
And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it ’cause we’ve always got each other
You know who you are and yes, you’re gonna breakdown
You’ve crossed the line so you’re gonna have to turn around
Don’t you know it’s going too fast
Racing so hard you know it won’t last
Don’t you know, what can’t you see
Slow it down, read the sing so you know just where you’re going
Stop right now, thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line
‘Cause I don’t care about the money
Don’t be wasting my time, you need
Less speed, get off my case
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face
Stop right now, thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you, always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Stop right now, thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you, always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Stop right now (stop right now)
Thank you very much (we wanna thank you)
I need somebody with (wanna thank you)
The human touch (stop right now)
Hey you, always on the run
Gotta (thank you very much) slow it down baby
Gotta have some fun (thank you very much)

You can see that you’re being surrounded
From every direction
And love was just something you found
To add to your collection
It used to seem we were number one
But now it sounds so far away
I had a dream we were running from
Some blazing arrows yesterday
You said, Fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
Now the city
Blacks out the sun
That you know is rising
You can show me the work that you’ve done
Your fears have been disguising
Is it just me or is everyone
Hiding out between the lines
What will we be when we come undone
Just a simple meeting of the minds?
And we’ll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
We’ll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
Underneath your skies
There’s a million lights
Burning brightly just like fireflies
It’s cold and heaven surrounds you from every direction
‘Cause there’s someone behind every hand
That you’ve made a connection
And now we’re free to be number one
The morning isn’t far away
I had a dream we were holding on
And tomorrow has become today, become today
And we’ll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
We’ll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
Papai Noel velho batuta
Rejeita os miseráveis
Eu quero matá-lo
Aquele porco capitalista
Presenteia os ricos
E cospe nos pobres
Presenteia os ricos
E cospe nos pobres
Pobres, pobres
Mas nós vamos sequestrá-lo
E vamos matá-lo
Por quê?
Aqui não existe natal
Aqui não existe natal
Aqui não existe natal
Aqui não existe natal
Por quê?
Papai Noel velho batuta
Rejeita os miseráveis
Eu quero matá-lo
Aquele porco capitalista
Presenteia os ricos
E cospe nos pobres
Presenteia os ricos
E cospe nos pobres
