“Elis [1980]” by Elis Regina - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1980 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1980s ● 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

The 22nd and final album of new music from the renowned 34-year-old, regarded as the greatest Brazilian singer of all time by many critics, musicians, and commentators. The set, a mixture of session-funk hell and cabaret-schmaltz, is thoroughly detestable and an embarrassment in my collection. “1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” yer arse. Elis Regina died at the age of 36 in 1982, from an accidental cocaine, alcohol, and temazepam interaction.
