Amazon.com The smash success of Bebel Gilberto's turn-of-the-century hit Tanto Tempo would lead many to believe that she was an overnight success. But this recording, released in Japan in 1991 and available now for the first time in the U.S., highlights her smooth, Sade-like sound. Joined by the legendary Brazilian bassist Luisão Maia, this project puts Gilberto's cool contralto in more traditional bossa-nova-style settings with synthesized string arrangements. The result is a snappy, Creed Taylor-sounding CD. The best selections are the title track, the "One Note Samba" syncopated composition "Amor Unilateral," and "Quando o Ceu Nao Estava Azul," which includes a silky Stan Getz-style tenor sax solo. Think of this recording as Bebel Gilberto's syncopated first draft. --Eugene Holley, Jr. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHighly disappointing..... Ron Ron | Chicago, IL | 01/21/2003 (1 out of 5 stars) "I have got to be one of the biggest Bossa Nova lovers that I know of. I live, sleep and dream about Bossa Nova. Heck, I even have named my Xbox live user name "Bossa Nova". However, this CD struck me as a huge disappointment. First of all, when I bought this I didn't realize that this was J-Pop mixed with Bossa Nova sounds. I thought it was straight Brazilian music. I like some J-Pop, which really stands for Japanese Pop. I LOVE Pizicatto Five! However the mix, doesn't mix well at all. It sounds extremely weird and I doubt I'll ever listen to this again. I'd rather listen to Bebel Gilberto on her excellent "Tanto Tempo" than listen to her singing this experimental junk!" Interesting Japanese bossa album featuring Bebel... -Paul E Kilianski--- | Power Kingdom, New York | 12/06/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Good bossa album from '91 which, according to the cd's liner notes, was "originally planned as an instrumental album of Brazilian musicians playing songs from famous Japanese pop singer/songwriter Yumi Matsutoya". Well, Bebel Gilberto was added to the mix and the result is well, Bebel.
If you like your bossa nice and breezy, this should suit you fine. My only major complaint is that Bebel's vocals are buried far too low in the mix throughout the album. The production is a little heavier and not as stripped down or personal as Bebel's own albums, but nice nonetheless. Anime fans take note: The song "Envolvida Em Ternura" (Embraced By Tenderness) is the same tune heard during the closing credits of Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service." |
