ThE drEAMEr thE BELIEVEr, é um presente, tanto para fãs de longa data de Com-mon e para os novos ouvin-tes que conhecem melhor o de seus papéis activos. “Eu sinto como um artista que é meu dever expressar quem eu sou, de onde ve-nho e para onde eu quero ir”, diz Common. “Meu ob-jectivo é criar arte que toca gerações além do presen-te.” É declarações como

estas que fazem Common seu nome sinónimo de “consciente.” E embora ele tenha resistido ao rotulo de “artista consciente” no pas-sado, ele passou a aceitá-lo e até mesmo abraçá-lo. o álbum de Common re-vela um artista consciente que promove a positivida-de, mas também uma alma complexa que está dispos-to a olhar para a luz, a es-curidão, e os tons de cinza dentro de si mesmo .

Norah Jones estabeleceu uma data de lançamen-to de maio um para Little Broken hearts (Blue Note / EMI), seu álbum novo e impressionante produzido por danger Mouse (tam-bém conhecido como Brian Burton). Jones também re-velou a capa do álbum e lista de faixas do conjunto de 12 canções, que apre-senta canções originais co-escritas por Jones e Burton.

LIttLE BroKENhEArtS, é o passo fascinante se-guinte na evolução artís-tica de um do mundo da música mais consistente-mente intrigante cantores e compositores. Jones sur-giu no cenário mundial há 10 anos este mês com o lançamento de Fevereiro 2002 . Norah Jones apa-rece reaparece desta vez, com um tom meio amargo.mas não melancolico.

Pause

and lets

breath with a

good music

Some people believe in karma. others, fate. But every once and a while, an artist comes around

who makes you just want to believe in good vibes. Joss Stone has made a career of doing exactly that and delivers once again with the Soul Sessions, Vol. II, her new album that drops today. In this latest effort, the British songstress comes full circle in a return to the concept behind her triple--platinum 2003 debut, the Soul Sessions. Stone unleashes her signature soul sound on classic r&B hits from the ‘60s

and ‘70s; highlights include a rendition of Womack & Womack’s “teardrops,” and an electrified cover of the Broken Bell’s “the high road.” despite the sym-metry, Stone’s music is decidedly more mature, thanks to almost a decade worth of experience in the industry. Yet true to form, the singer is still as mellow as ever: “I just make music. If everyone wants to like it, then that’s nice!” here, the down-to-earth diva shares more of her thoughts on music, mentors, and making it in America.

J o S S S T O N E

After four albums of original music, you’ve

returned with another album of covers. Why?

Basically, the thought was to try and recreate what we did ten years ago. But this time we went to Nashville, and started fresh. Steve [Steve Greenberg, Stone’s producer] brought in this list of songs, and the band and I would listen, write down some chords, and then immediately go into the studio and jam. Wha-tever came out came out naturally.

What was the recording process like?

We had some guidance, but not too much—I hate it when there’s too much. When you’ve got a room full of amazing musicians, why would you tell them what to play? that’s a silly thing to do. they give so much and are so inspired; just give them room, and they will come up with so-mething gorgeous. that’s my method. It’s very sim-ple. the music I was liste-ning to will have influenced the album, but it will have influenced the album just as much as the music that Pete [Iannacone], the bass

player, was listening to, and that Clayton [Ivey], the piano player, was listening to, and everyone else in the room. I think that’s the most fun way to make mu-sic. I love it.

How does your own crea-tivity fit in when you’re

making an album covering other musician’s songs?

You have to be more creati-ve than you would be if you were writing. When you’re writing, you can do wha-tever you want—there are no rules,no boundaries. But when you’re covering something, you have to make sure the lyrics and the structure of the song are the same. You have to be respectful of the song, before you make changes. We’re making versions of the songs that are comple-tely different. otherwise, you may as well have a karaoke record, and that’s just a bit boring, isn’t it? this album is an interesting one. It was fun!

How does it feel to be such a seasoned artist, and yet still only in your

twenties?

t’s a good position to be in. I’m 25—people would think that I’m in the begin-ning of my career, but I’m not really. I’ve had a lot of time to try different me-thods in front of the world. Some of them didn’t work out, and some of them did. that doesn’t mean to say that I know what I’m doing. the smartest thing to do is realize that you don’t know what you’re doing, and be ok with it. I just make noi-ses and hope for the best.

You’re known for regularly working with other artists,

from rising talent to legends like Dave Stewart

and Mick Jagger. What prompts your collaborati-

ve spirit?

there hasn’t been a time when I haven’t collabora-ted with someone. From the very beginning, it was about being creative with other people. I’m more comfortable when I’m doing it with a team, and I learn from everyone I come across musically. I don’t like the whole solo thing—it makes me bored.

Americans have always been enamored with the

idea of a British music invasion. How do you think Brits fit into today’s Ame-

rican music scene? I think we do pretty well, don’t you? It seems like people like us! At the end of the day, if it’s good, it’s good. And America knows what’s good, because America has choices. Fif-ty states is a lot! the size of this country versus the size of England is vast. So when America likes some-thing, in England, we feel like we’ve got it. that’s what we strive for.

Would you say that Soul Sessions Vol. II is your

reentrance into America’s music scene?

to be honest, I haven’t really concentrated on that. I think I just went home for a bit. I did the same thing that I’ve done on every re-cord: I make it, I play it, I sing. I can’t control how people are going to like it. All I can do is make it avai-lable.

Do you have any plans for the next record?

I’m going to make another record in August hopefully. No plans. I’m just going to go make it. It’s going to be a laugh! I can’t wait.

have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamor-phosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was brea-thing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy enve-lopes filled with the es-sence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that con-firms that the universe is aligned, that the world’s greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by alloca-tions of time, circumstan-ce, and Wunderstanding.

Paulo coelhoser como o rio Que Flui

“ A glória do mundo é transitória, e não é ela que nos dá a dimensão da nossa vida - mas a escolha que fazemos de seguir a nossa lenda pessoal, de acreditar nas nossas utopias e de lutar por elas.Somos todos protagonistas da nossa existência e, muitas vezes, são os heróis anónimos que deixam as marcas mais d u r a d o u r a s . ”

Ser como o rio que flui é um cor-te trans-versal na a n a t o -

mia da escrita de Paulo Coelho. Esta compi-lação de contos, opiniões e ideias constitui um belíssi-mo reflexo da vasta criação do escritor. Peças literárias de vários períodos e publi-

cações compõem este livro que tece uma linha sensí-vel, acompanhada pelo olhar do criador, detendo--se naqueles pormenores da realidade quotidiana e da comtemplação que des-tilam a subtil filosofia de quem observa a existên-cia com a mesma placidez com que contempla um rio.Contar as histórias dos seres humanos, na sua

variada e rica complexida-de, é a missão que Paulo Coelho atribui à sua escri-ta, contando o que são e quem são, sem os prender àquilo que pretendem ou fingem ser. Como fotografias da vida, estas peças literárias são breves e intensas e reve-lam-nos eternos peque-nos momentos de vidas de pessoas.”

“há que se lutar pelos sonhos, mas há que saber também que quando certos caminhos se mostram impossíveis, é melhor guardar suas ener-

gias para percorrer outras estradas.””
