[Sem Palheta] Aurea - Yellow

Sem Palheta happens every monday at 6.40pm on RFM (a portuguese radio staion). This is a program where artists sing artists from others.

The women in front of this project is Joana Cruz, a very well known Portuguese broadcaster, and the first invited artist was Carminho, in the end of May. Joana chooses the artists and they are free to choose what they want to sing/cover.

You can check HERE the different performances so far.

So far my favorite version is the one from Aurea and her team singing/playing Yellow, from Coldplay. The arrangments are nothing but spectacular.

Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you

Aurea, Busy (For Me)

Aurea is this new and young portuguese talent.
The girl that went to University to study performing Arts soon discovered that music was her thing (and thankfully!). Her biggest influences are Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, John Mayer and James Morrison.
She grew up listening to Elvis Presley and in 2010 she was invited to record a version of his hit song "Love Me Tender" which they had Elvis' voice for a virtual duet. She got really excited even if she wasn't one of those crazy Elvis fans. She was really proud when someone told her she was approved but the own Presley's family and the version was included on "Viva Elvis the Album".
I went to see her show last night and it was freaking amazing!
She has this powerful and touching voice. She is one of the most kind and respectful artists I've seen lately, not speaking that she is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and pretty simple.
And on yesterday's show she sang Prince and Eddie Floyd, OMG! I got so but so excited, she sang so damn well!!!

She is a talent to be discovered worldwide
