Last week, Gloria Estefan released a new album, Brazil 305. In it, she has new songs and revisioning of old ones all in Bossa Nova style. One of my favorites, Con los Años Que Me Quedan was first done 1993 on her Mi Tierra album.
Then in 2001 on Greatest Hits 2, it became If We Were Lovers, with a new storyline and English lyric- but same music.
Now 2020 on this Brazil 305 disc.
All three lovely- with great vocals and very different but beautiful instrumentation- done in three different decades.
Man, how I wish we had the blessing of the same thing with K&R!~ Not to take away from the incredible original versions but to relight the fire of our love for them. And to watch how time and flavors can change a classic.
