Notes. It also became an instant success in Portugal, topping Portuguese Albums Chart in only two weeks. Soul Notes'
lead single, entitled Scratch My Back, remains one of Aurea's trademark songs. Aurea's style is very diverse, incorporating
elements from soul, blues, pop, reggae and R&B. Her sound is often compared to soul legends such as Aretha Franklin and Diana
Ross, and she's also compared to contemporaries such as British soul artists Duffy and Amy Winehouse. « hide |
