Starbucks Free Downloads: Bebe ‘Sue Fue’

BebeHave you ever been in Starbucks and heard a song that you just couldn’t get out of your head. Maybe they weren’t selling the CD or you only wanted the one song. Well Starbucks in collaboration with iTunes has put their hat into the free download ring. This is your chance to find out if that song is worth taking up space in your mp3.

After a five-year break between her multi-nominated Latin Grammy album “Pafuera Telarañas” (Blowing Away the Cobwebs,) Bebe returned in October with the album Y (And That’s That). Bebe had a modicum of success in the mid to late ‘90s in Spain and then her 2005 album made her a household name in the U.S. among the Latin music world. Defying the pattern of churning out another record to capitalize on her success in North America, Bebe decided to plan what her next album would be.

The first release off the album “Se Fue” (She Left) with its acoustic beginning is a stripped down song that even if you don’t know the words you can relate to the emotions that Bebe emanates. However, knowing the lyrics enhances the relationship the listener has with the song: “There are eyes which can’t find places where to stop and look, however there are other eyes which strip your dress off and leave.” It’s enough to make you go out and learn a new language.
