 Djavan Discography - Slipcue.Com Brazilian Music Guide
Djavan's vocals on this uptempo song are particularly interesting because, singing at a brisk pace, he doesn't have a chance to glide up into the ethereal, Milton Nascimento-ish upper-register croon that he favors on most of his ballads.
Djavan builds his sound off of sleek '70s jazz-fusion motifs that I simply find anathema: the ringing, echo-y electric bass, the watery guitars, the overly insistent keyboards, and --worst of all -- the hated soprano saxophone, one of the most misused and irritating instruments in the world.
Djavan's music, and particularly his songwriting, is held in high esteem by his MPB contemporaries, as seen in this all-star tribute album.

 Djavan : Puzzle of Hearts - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
In fact, no less than seven of the nine tracks on Djavan and Oceano (which are essentially the same album) make up the bulk of Puzzle of Hearts.
The new tracks here are the title track, a soft sort of MPB in English, "Being Cool," another English number with a bouncier samba-based rhythm to it, and "Amazon Farewell," one more English work with a thumping bassline underneath a more exotic melody.
Djavan is one of the greatest figures in modern Brazilian music, and this album (interchangeably with the other two) is a fine choice for a look at his abilities in the early '90s.

This is a quite straightforward and basic compilation of Djavan's biggest hits and most famous songs, including ballads like "Seduzir," "Álibi," "A Ilha," and "Aquele Um" that appear on most Djavan collections.
There is also the great xote song "Serrado," which reminds the listener of Djavan's home state, Alagoas, in the Brazilian northeast region.
Another great song on this compilation is the beautiful "Lambada de Serprente," which, by the way, bears no similarities and has nothing to do with … Read More »

Djavan emerged in the 1980s to achieve success well beyond his native Brazil, playing a mixture of traditional Brazilian rhythms and a more global pop style.
On more recent work he has often sung in English and performed with North American musicians, which has contributed to his heightened stateside appeal.

In this album, Djavan had two hits, "Nem Um Dia" and Jobim's "Correnteza." Other good points on the release are the ternary blues "Sêca" interpreted in a Brazilian way, the ballad "Não Deu...," the sambas "Deixa O Sol Sair," "Coração Leviano" (Paulinho da Viola), the soothing "Cordilheira," and "Malásia," with exciting alternated time signatures.
Excellent musicians on a non-exceptional album in which Djavan keeps his high compositional/performing style.
