Reviewed 2014-06-06
Lovely and airy vocals in English and Portuguese. Heavy on bossa novas. Great guest stars and interesting arrangements. Includes three songs by award-winning novelist Kazuo Ishiguro. Her voice is at times sweet and fragile, at others lyrical and sophisticated. Overall a crystal-clear vocalist w/great backing & wonderful arrangements.

*1. Slow and lovely w/lightly clear vocals & soft keys. Picks up.
2. Slow and fragile ballad w/a gentle touch from all. Ahhh…
*3. The classic samba. No frills but lots of style & color.
4. A gentle ballad. Softly romantic and slightly sad.
*5. Fun modern bossa w/playful lyrics. It’s a delight.
6. Relaxed bossa gently swaying and delicate.
7. Downtempo, reflective, a modern take on love song.
8. Slow, so fragile that their breakable vocals.
9. Sweet down/midtempo medly. Spare and quiet.
10. Soft ballad with some nice work from the band. Gentle.
*11. Soft, reflective then picks up. Nice sax work.
12. Quiet ballad with a waifish air.
*13. French ballad, very quiet, very soft, lovely.
