Night flight

Written by 

It is one of the last albums edited by Jorge Palma and the second some dissenting voices say is the more commercial of all the already edited to date.


Talking about Jorge Palma itself is an event. It is without much doubt, one of the greatest composers of our country. Night Flight is a mark on his discography because it was launched after a gap of three years. It is also a breath of fresh air, because for the first time, Jorge Palma is notorious a singer and becomes "popular" with the younger generation, through the famous and unforgettable "sit back with me." Not that over the years, he was out, but his faithful audience was another. Now they are much more listening his songs and for that has been criticized by some who claim that he "sold” himself to a more commercial kind of music. This argument alone is very misleading. Just because thanks to a soap opera, one of the themes of this album reached the top sales at the national level, is one factor that contributes to the bizarre decline in this quality as a composer? I do not agree Jorge Palma is at his best. And now the masses know and appreciate him better, he deserves the recognition in this record which is no way lower than the others. He continues to write lyrics that are constantly hovering in our minds, refuting the argument that Portuguese is difficult to transpose to music. This is an album made of poetry. Perhaps the nostalgic preferred Jorge Palma on stage when he forgot his own lyrics and lived in a constant stupor! Now, he not only sings better, he also continues to write melodies like no other. This album is proof. So, sit back with me / since we live one hundred thousand years ago. Jorge Palma will live forever.
