Trinta e Nove is Corte’s debut album. An album of quiet,
delicate beauty. Nine love, longing and broken heart songs, written, sang and played
by Francisco Santos. Voice, acoustic guitar, the odd piano brush strokes,
create a canvas of poetic sorrow, both in words as in music. Simplicity, often
the hardest thing to achieve, is perfectly mastered by Francisco Santos.
Stripped down to the bare minimum, with the voice leading and the guitar emphasizing
the words, that raise above a gentle, melancholic musical tapestry, only slightly
shaken with the hurting, poignant Outono Em Flor, the album first single and
its most upbeat song.
