Ivan Lins’s debut, ‘The Best of Ivan Lins’, does not fit easily into one genre. When you buy a Ivan Lins album, you know exactly what you’re getting! On The Best of Ivan Lins album, Ivan Lins have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. The Best of Ivan Lins is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Antes Que Seja Tarde is the funkiest number on the album. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. I now have Bilhete as one of my personal favorites. Cartomante had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Comecar De Novo is a medium tempo tune. Desesperar Jamais (3:22) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Dinorah Dinorah sets the tone for the entire album. Formigueiro makes a person feel marvelous. Guarde Nos Olhos - I like this one. In Novo Tempo Ivan Lins spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Qualquer Dia is the most memorable and excellent. Saindo De Mim actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Ivan Lins’s face. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing.
