Released in 1982, Trem Azul is a late album by Elis Regina, a singer who has made her mark in Brazilian music history. This album, centered around the works of Milton Nascimento, Lo Borges, and others associated with Clubi da Esquina, quietly highlights Elis's mature expressiveness. Rather than flashy technique or emotional outbursts, the impressive vocals bring out the essence of the songs through the intonation of the words, breathing, and the timing of the notes. While drawing on the MPB tradition, the album is dominated by an introspective and subdued tone, showcasing Elis's musical achievements in his later years. While often overshadowed by his fame, this is an important work that leaves a deep, lingering impression. Recommended!
