Bossa nova singer, Sitti Navarro met the entertainment press last July 31, in Red Box in Trinoma to promote Contagious, her fourth studio album under Warner Music. In the album, the country's "Queen of Bossa Nova" redefined contemporary hits from Annie Lennox, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Sade, Sarah McLachlan, and other singers, to fit her unique singing style.Granting that she already has three successful bossa nova albums under her belt since her 2006 debut-Cafe Bossa, My Bossa Nova, and Ngayong Pasko, the singer still feels incomplete by her musical genre. Sittio said Warner that she still wants to have more which is limited by the arrangement, or the treatment of the song. But, she said that cannot verge out of the singing style in her current recording projects because bossa nova has its own limitations. Since the attack of bossa should always be light and flowing, Sitti said thta she injects new embellishments or arrangements to her songs. She also performs different musical styles in her various gigs. She is now trying new with her gigs like, Latin, jazz and even pop sometimes. Aside from having a degree in Business economics at UP, the bossa nova singer said that she has more avenues to push herself or to try different things. [via] |
