Matisse – Por Última Vez

November 17, 2015

Since there’s three of them I’m just going to pretend they’re Mexico’s Lady Antebellum.

Brad Shoup: There’s no morning on the calendar that’s this easy.

Madeleine Lee: Restraint is not a bad quality for a ballad to have, especially when the quality of the singing is as above-average as this. Still, I keep hoping there’ll be a sweep of drums entering at 1:26 to add some depth.
[5]

Jonathan Bogart: A three-way ballad that would have been goopy enough with only one voice.

Iain Mew: This gloop is hard to get through; when the piano’s sappy lope started to remind me of Daniel Powter it wasn’t even a net negative.

Thomas Inskeep: Earnest. Earnest, earnest, earnest. Somewhere, Chris Martin is mulling over a translation.

Alfred Soto: Conventional piano plod without a single noteworthy element.
[2]

Edward Okulicz: Unfortunately, this sort of trite, impeccably-put together but oversweetened ballad is awards magnet when sung in English, so if ears could choke, mine would have when the second voice came in. I trust the Latin Grammy voters have more sense.

Juana Giaimo: I immediately rejected this song, but it caught my attention that it ends in the bridge causing a slight uncomfort — or maybe I just appreciated I didn’t have to continue listening to the empty melodrama.
