Introducing, Sitti Navarro, a nominee for Philippines IKON 2007!!She was in Malaysia recently and was introduced to the press at Party Ikon Philipines at Planet Hollywood, Kuala Lumpur.A Graduate in Business Economics from the University of Philippines, Dilimon, Quezon City. She won two beauty pageant in her country, Miss Visayaes 2001(Miss Travel Girl) and 1st Runner Up, Miss Silka where she won the title for Miss Friendship and Best in Swimwear.A fan of Norah Jones,Jane Manheit and Verni Varga, to name a few.Quoted her Family,especially her mum and Grandmother as her biggest influences, besides God and the Church.Her talent was discovered during the "SUPAHSTAR D' SUPER SEARCH" talent contest, where the elite and renowned panel of judges voted her as one of the winners!
Sitti has two albums under her belt, Cafe Bossa and a follow up album Sitti Live!, which I am about to give a short review here. The album consists of live tracks from Cafe Bossa.The tracks on the album as follows :
Track 01- One Note Samba (Feat.Jerome Rico on Guitar)
Track 02- Wave
Track 03- Samba Song
Track 04- Agua De Beber
Track 05- Birimbao
Track 06- Fever
Track 07- Para Sa Akin
Track 08- Tattoed On My Mind
Track 09- Hey Look At The Sun
Track 10- I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love
Track 11- Water On March
Track 12- Ikaw Pa Rin
Track 13- For Your Eyes Only
Track 14- Voce Abuso
Track 15- Lanca Perfume
Track 16- Pais Tropical
Track 17- Mas Que Nada
If you are a fan of Norah Jones or Roberta Flack, this is a must album for your collection.A very laid back and relax feel album from this 5ft 5in lady.An album categorized as Bossa Nova and Standard Jazz.Her voice reminds me so much of Ruth Sahanaya.Honestly, I am not much of a Jazz Fan here, but I would say this album really pulls me through.
Familiar tracks on this album are Para Sa Akin (the Video is chosen and played in the IKON Phillipines Video Clip on Astro Ria), Fever, For Your Eyes Only (More on a Jazzy Feel compared to the pop version from Sheena Easton) and of course Mas Que Nada (The Black Eyed Peas did a cover for this song recently as well). My personal favorite tracks from the album has to be Track 1,3,6,7,10,13 and 17.
