Product Description
Uncut - September 2007
EXodus -Style Crossover From World Music Superstar (5 out of 5 Stars)
Album Description
La Radiolina is the hotly anticipated album new album from legendary French-Spanish performer and songwriter Manu Chao. His first new studio album in six years, it is the follow-up to Chao's three million-selling `Próxima Estación: Esperanza' in 2001 and his break through debut solo album `Clandestino' on 1998. Cited by the late Joe Strummer as one of his favourite artists, Manu Chao recorded La Radiolina in Barcelona. The new album was written and produced by Chao with the help of mixers Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys and Jack Johnson) and Andrew Scheps (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mars Volta). La Radiolina has already been called "a kaleidoscope of brilliant ideas and global musics, full of passionate conviction, nostalgia and celebration, and as such is a more than worthy successor to `Clandestino" and it has already received a rave 5/5 star review in UNCUT Magazine.

Cheers To Chao !,
By
This review is from: La Radiolina (Audio CD)
Having also followed Manu Chao since the release of clandestino, his first solo outing, and then back tracked through the Mano Negra days, his previous outings with his brother. I was as you can imagine very keen to hear the new album - Radiolina. Having read a rather dissapointing review in the Times last weekend i was even more concerned that this would not live up to the other albums, in paticular Esperanza.
However I am happy to report that this is not the case, on a typically dull and grey Summers day i popped the CD in the player and listened to the whole 22 tracks. Radiolina is a slight departure from the more mellow and sample infused Clandestino and Esperanza, However it is replaced by a much more upbeat and heavy sound reminiscant of the early days of Manu Negra. Still chock full of Political commentry, The stand out tracks for me include the highly infectious Politik, and Raining in Paradise, although it is hard to single out specifics as the whole album is a gem. Despite the uneducated and down right crooked views of the Times reviewer, This album is a must buy for the Manu Chao fan. People who do not know Manu Chao give it a go you will be hooked. Manu Chao up until this point has enjoyed a somewhat cult following in the UK, Our cousins in Europe and South America have embraced him as his talent deserves, Joe Strummer of the Clash rated him and I think you will be hearing a lot more from this Manu - Look out for his UK tour !

the best yet,
By sziasztok "david uk" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Radiolina (Audio CD)
Unlike many, I actually consider this to be Manu's strongest album yet. I love the way the alternation between styles- rock, latin and languages- Spanish, French and English makes for an album that constantly feels refreshing.
My favourite track was a surprise to me "Raining In Paradise" is a bit of an anthem. I also like "Politik Kills" for its punchy if naive lyrics, and "La Vida Es Una Tombola" which makes reference to Diego Maradona- even as a gay man who does not like football, I loved the beauty of this song. No problem in giving this 5 stars.

A different style, but clearly not a different quality...,
By
This review is from: La Radiolina (Audio CD)
Once more, Manu Chao has outdone himself. His style is slightly different than before - leaning more towards anti-politics and rock than reggae and drugs. I adore his multilingual approach, and the content of his tracks give the audience, multilingual or not, something to think about. The quality of music is awesome. A must have not only for language students all over, but for people who adore good quality music and lyrics of a man who obviously puts heart and his soul into what he does.
