Kenia: Simply Kenia
Ma al di là di questo, quello che non convince è il tono uniforme del disco che si trascina stancamente dall’inizio alla fine senza trovate e colpi d’ala, risultando quanto meno monotono.
Al progetto già di per sé non coinvolgente, si aggiunge la monoliticità della prova vocale di Kenia, troppo uguale a se stessa, quasi algida e distaccata. Una voce elegante e soffusa che però alla lunga si rende prevedibile, senza un veri palpiti e coinvolgimento emotivo.
Si troviamo di fronte, insomma, al tipico disco di bossa nova, fatto dai brasiliani per gli americani, in cui tutto risulta patinato e in cui nulla è fuori posto e lasciato al caso.
