Having heard good comments about this singer from friends in Brazil and having read the reviews on Amazon I quickly ordered two albums and have been extremely disappointed. First off, this is a boring, mediocore singer in my opinion. As a long-time fan of bossa nova (since the early '60s) and as a frequent traveller to Brazil I was astonished to hear what the fuss was all about. The recording is over produced: too much involvement in getting the back up musicians as part of the main part of the recording. Go back and listen to Elis or Gal or many other Brazilian singers -- Joyce, Astrud, Bebel, Luciana Sousa, and you'll hear what I mean.
