Jose James - Desire

Des fois, les choses tiennent à pas grand chose.

Il aura fallu une simple publicité pour une marque de café célèbre pour que je découvre la voix incroyable de Jose James. Car en réalité, je n'avais jamais prêté véritablement attention à son premier album ("The Dreamer", 2008), ayant la certitude absolue d'avoir déjà entendu un ou deux morceaux de lui, et qu'il s'agissait d'un R&B basique et sans saveur. 

Après avoir vu cette publicité et fait appel à mon ami google, j'ai donc découvert l'équilibre parfait de ce morceau, "Desire", celui-là même qui figurait dans la publicité. Entre la douceur du début, la passion de la fin, entre la justesse totale de la voix, la combinaison à point du trio piano/contrebasse/batterie, il m'est honnêtement impossible de reprocher quoi que ce soit à cette chanson. D'autant plus qu'elle s'articule autour d'un des textes les plus beaux que j'ai jamais entendu dans une chanson :

She appeared in the distance, like a prayer I had uttered once.
She appeared in my life, like a dream, only have remembered.

Sometimes, we don't even know why things don't happen.

It's only because of a TV commercial for a well known coffee brand that I discovered the incredible voice of Jose James. In fact, I can't tell why, but before I googled about the commercial, I always thought this album ("The Dreamer", 2008) was some kind of tasteless R&B, and I was sure I had already heard one or two songs of it.

I then discovered a perfect song, called "Desire" (the one from the commercial), balanced between a sweet and soft beginning and a passionate ending, with a great combination between one of the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard, and a great jazz trio (piano, bass, drums). As a result, I can't say it would be impossible for me to make any negative criticism. And even more since the lyrics are among the most romantic and beautiful I've ever heard in a song :

She appeared in the distance, like a prayer I had uttered once.
She appeared in my life, like a dream, only have remembered.

As vezes, coisas acontecem sem verdadeira razão.

Eu so descobri a voz incrivel do Jose James por causa de uma publicidade por uma marca de café na TV. Na verdade, antes disso, sempre pensei que esse disco ("The Dreamer", 2008) fosse um album de R&B sem sabor. Até tinha a certeza absoluta que ja tinha ouvido uma ou duas musicas dele.

Depois dessa publicidade, então, googlei sobre ele, e achei essa musica perfeita chamada "Desire". Entre o inicio muito suave, a paixão que chega no fim, uma das vozes masculina mais linda que existe e a combinação piano/baixa/bateria, eu não mudaria nada. E ainda mais porque tudo isso fica ao serviço de umas das letras mais bonitas que ja ouvi numa canção :

She appeared in the distance, like a prayer I had uttered once.
She appeared in my life, like a dream, only have remembered.
