Wonderful vocals, good production - extremely lush and pleasing, and with a little more longevity in terms of how often I want to play it than expected. Hi-fi note: just a little compression on the sound but it's not too tiring. The song Cacada is a firm favourite for me, that track's actually quite funky with prominent drumming and catchy - even if I've no comprehension of what she's singing (in Portugese, presumably) - singing.

Great album from a great asrtist. I recommend it and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I do.

I was so much looking forward to the new Bebel Gilberto album - I've been playing her second album over a 1000 times. This one is good, but personally i think it's the weakest album of the three. Of course, her voice is still magical and soothing and overall it's very relaxing to listen to, but it all sounds a bit bland to me. There are hardly any outstanding songs and the worst one is defenitively Tranquillo, which even in a cheap hotel bar on the beach , would bore the customers. There is a complete absence of piano on this alhum, which I loved so much on the second one, which is my personal favourite. I think Bebel could do so much better, and although I will play this album on those warm summer nights, I will swiftly move to her first two ones. It's a good alnum overall, but it misses the tendernes and softness I found on the previous one. If you never bought an album of her before, make sure you buy her second album. It's amazing !
