Release Date: Sept. Moviegoers already know the melancholy yet sweet voice of Brazilian singer/guitarist Seu Jorge. A former street kid from Rio de Janeiro slum, he played Knockout Ned in "City of God" and wistfully sang David Bowie songs in Portuguese in "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou." Jorge is not one for vocal perfection, as his raw tone occasionally meanders off pitch. However, the charismatic force he brings to these songs is undeniable, whether he's rasping through Serge Gainsbourg's "Chatterton," tenderly caressing the samba-tinged ballad "Una Mujer," declaring "Eu Sou Favela (I Am Favela)" or furiously ranting about the proliferation of breast implants in "Mania de Peitao." (Since Wrasse went to the trouble of printing the mostly Portuguese lyrics, it's too bad they didn't add English translations.) Jorge is already the epitome of hip; on "Cru," he proves that he's also a deeply compelling artist.
