rarely seen in the music world as an overwhelming debut as Christopher Cross took 80. He and Norah Jones are the only artists ever to have received "The Big Four" Grammy Awards (Best Record, Song, Album and New Artist) in the same year. Cross released her debut album "Christopher Cross" with Globally known for composing "Arthur's Theme" from the Dudley Moore movie "Arthur, The Bachelor of Gold "which won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Their second album" Another page "made hits like" Think of Laura ", considered one of the most recognized songs of the history of American pop music. He has sold 9 million albums. An artist who has made history. Even though you walk through the 80's became popular musical styles far more emphatic than elegant and elaborate pop Cross advocated, as the technology in Britain and Europe or Rock of the West Coast in USA (Motley Crue, Wasp ...), the music is still appreciated by the discerning public. The Cross songs still on radio broadcast of the 80 formulas, not only that, but that can be considered as one of the creators of what Americans called "Adult Contemporary Pop." This is pop artists who develop a much more elaborate and sophisticated than the big radio, much more focused on youth styles as rap or "New metal" (...), are used, or willing, to issue . He is the author of hits like Ride like the wind, Sailing, Never Be the Same, All right, Say you'll be mine and Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do). He has released eight albums, seven of them in studio and one live. Some of the most memorable songs are ballads Cross, with pianos too melancholic love songs. It is in the half-times and creating atmospheres can amaze, 25 years later, Cross produced his own tracks, the orchestration of many songs is impressive for a simple one times incredibly efficient and sometimes by an accumulation of sounds perfectly blended to create a thick sound but light at the same time. For example, in "Sailing", the author manages, with only 2 different chord repetitions, creating a feeling that surrounds us reminding us of the tranquility of a calm sea. On the other hand, in "Charm the Snake", a powerful African-sounding theme, Cross accumulates in the foreground a number of instruments like guitars, drums, vocals and even adding the end of the song, sounds of flamenco - All Cross albums have at least a flamingo on the cover. The result is a kind of wild, jungle which seems to wrap around the animal mosquitoes. Cross is also a specialist in songs of a happy and upbeat pace, beyond the comprehension of the lyrics. Songs like "In the blink of eye and Stock" and especially on "That Girl" or "Swing Street", get very catchy melodies, nothing slower-paced but not excessively fast, very casual and tailored, and with a final dilated song in a perfect way to do that when the song, hummed or whistled follow for a while. Over 20 years Cross has given us, sautéed over all of their albums, a handful of little gems of pop. Songs like "Sailing" are suitable for reflection and melancholy, plus themes optimistic and encouraged to enjoy these moments that sometimes life gives us like candy. Of short duration, but delicious.
