This album consist of Seu Jorge, only accompanied by his nylon guitar, singing 13 David Bowie songs and one track that's his own composition. Even though the songs are sung in Portuguese, the emotion he puts into the songs transcends any unfamiliarity with the language.

I heard that to really know ourselves, we have to see ourselves through the eyes of another. I think the same could be said true of music. I think to know a song you have to hear it interpret by another. Cover songs either sink or float. The artist doing a cover song either does justice or discompose the listener who is familiar with the original. A really good cover will surpass the listens expectation and expose the hidden potential of the song. David Bowie said that "had Jorge not recorded my songs in Portuguese I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with."
