Released July 2012
Rock With You was officially released by Wilbur Music on July 15th, 2012. This is a remake of the Billboard Hot 100 #1 1979 hit by Michael Jackson but in a Brazilian way. It’s not just another song but a musical journey.
Full EP version available for download at CDBaby, iTunes and Amazon.
“I swear, the more times you listen to this song the more you will appreciate the delicate instrumental surroundings to accentuate her voice and add a smooth but driving rhythm to the song that only the Bossa/Samba beat can provide.” — John Griswold 2012
Wie kent het niet ? Rock With You, één van de laatste grote hits uit het disco tijdperk van Michael Jackson. Het was de 2e single van zijn fameuze Off The Wall album uit november 1979 en Michael’s 3e nummer 1 hit in de USA die in Nederland niet eens de Top 40 haalde ! Fabiana Passoni haalde het lied weer uit de kast na het grote succes van haar laatste single Lovin’ You dat met name in de USA door veel smooth jazz radiostations werd gedraaid. Het is niet zó maar een cover van een hit aldus Fabiana Passoni, het is een muzikaal reisje waarvan ze hoopt dat iedereen ‘m maakt en leuk vindt. De single werd geproduceerd door gitarist Kleber Jorge en drummer Mike Shapiro, 2 bandleden van haar indrukwekkende “All Star Band” . Rock With You werd voorzien van een spannend arrangement, en is een samba die langzaam wordt opgebouwd en aan het eind steeds Braziliaanser gaat klinken door de geluiden van cavaquinho en cuica. — Fred BRAZILIAN BLEND 2012
After an incredibly successful run with her sultry version of Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You,” International Latin songstress Fabiana Passoni kicks it up a notch with a very passionate, seductive samba cover of Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.” As Ms. Passoni puts it, “This isn’t just a remake of another hit song. It’s a musical journey that I hope everyone will take and enjoy.” To my ear, an amazingly fresh and sensual Brazilian treatment of an American pop classic marries the best of both worlds. Once again, as with her previous single, Fabiana Passoni has combined a special song with her extraordinary talent. The perfection continues! ~SCOTT O’BRIEN smoothjazz.com 2012
