Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Joan Manuel Serrat on ‘Mi Niez’. Now signed to Joan Manuel Serrat’s EMI Records, the title track from second album “Poema De Amor” leads Joan Manuel Serrat’s back-to-school campaign. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Joan Manuel Serrat’s new album to that on ‘Poema De Amor’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is one of Joan Manuel Serrat best albums
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Elegia, which shows, blatantly, how much Joan Manuel Serrat has evolved as a singer. I like the agression and power of La Casita Blanca. I think Cancin Ultima is the best song Joan Manuel Serrat has ever done. This is probably my favorite song on the album. El Carrusel Del Furo is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. After about the third Romance de Curro El Palomo listen through, I began to believe this song is Joan Manuel Serrat’s essence. De Carton Piedra is absolutely incredible. Cenicienta De Porcelana is the albums biggest surprise. In Como Un Gorrin the music gets its power. Nanas De La Cebolla is just simply stunning. Joan Manuel Serrat allows each song to breathe and flourish. A Ese Pajaro Dorado is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Joan Manuel Serrat sings Menos Tu Vientre in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Muchacha Tpica catches attention immediately, Soneto A Mama is a striking and quite long song. Strong, powerful vocals of Joan Manuel Serrat in Caminito De La Obra are very impressive.
