 Written on August 1, 2007 Summary: Backdrop for Romance Music can transport, intoxicate, induce dreams and inspire delicious fantasies, ripe for enacting. Bebel Gilberto achieves this and more with the release of her third effort, "Momento". The sensual, slow burn of her vocals and rythym allow the listener to get carried away to another place, a place where time stands still, begging one to abandon all earthly cares in favor of romantic splendor. "Momento", the opening track and CD title, peaks into Gilberto's world, with a poetic recount of pieces of her personal puzzle. "Bring Back the Love" includes a hushed moan in the background, with a steady beat and almost chant like command.... "Close to You" is about as sensual as anything you are apt to hear these days. It absolutely implores the listener to drop the material concerns to beckon one's lover..... sexy and sensual indeed. Gilbeto's take on the standard " Night and Day" breathes new life into a romantic classic. She whispers through the urgency of this song with an understated passion, leading one to believe that the object of affection will receive the boil over of her desire. Such delivery is what illustrates a mood, making for true "mood" music. The remaining tunes are at turns festive, contemplative and always engaging. Give way to the temptation; Bebel Gilberto offers a sublime summer album that is guarenteed to satisfy. Written on July 30, 2007 Summary: Bebel Gilberto does it again! Along with Ceu she is one of my favorite Brazilian singers and have to say, bought this one more hoping for the best. After her previous releases I thought to myself "Well it cant get better than this" and while maybe I can't say she has improved this is still up there with the rest of her releases. Soft vocals over an almost African rhythm that just blend together so well. Yeh this is quality lounge music, this is music for the summer, long lazy days having a drink with friends, just being alone after a hard day or a long drive. Probably the only thing I dislike on this CD are when she sings in English. Give me that Portuguese any day! Written on July 28, 2007 Summary: Sweet Sounds The music of Bebel Gilberto is capable of helping us feel happy and even curious. I grew particularly fond of the tunes Momento, Azul, Os Novos Yorkinos, and Cadê Você? for the energy, harmony, poetry, and of course, Gilberto's beautiful voice. Unlike the Girl from Ipenema, Joao Gilberto's 'insensitive' beauty, this album introduces us to a woman willing to share her life stories with the help of guitars, drums, and violins. Like that Girl, she remains unapproachable. We can only admire her from afar. This sad remoteness could be helped by learning the incredible Brazilian Portugese language, at least well enough to know whether she is talking about love, life, or the pursuit of happiness. I know she is not talking about love lost. Ah, that is what is unique about her music. It is always about adding to love, never losing it. Written on July 21, 2007 Summary: Delightful..... This is a thoroughly joyous album. Joao's kid is, once again, in fine form. [Bebel is not Astrud's child]. This is pure sensory experience, sexual without being sexually explicit [after all, this is Latin jazz, not rap]. Happy intermixture of Portugese and English, and I think Bebel's English is pretty good. Most of these tracks won't be familiar to an American audience, though Bebel does a fine job with Cole Porter's "Night And Day". Bebel is no Ella, but then Ella was not Bebel, either. We really don't need "familiar" with albums that are about feeling. There are several singers of this genre around currently; Bebel is certainly as good as the best. Grab this album for the joy of it. Written on July 19, 2007 Summary: The Whole Exceeds the Sum of its Parts When I first listened to this, my immediate impression was that this was a 3-star album, meaning I wasn't going to review it. But I have to admit, after having listened to it edge to edge a few times, that the c.d. has grown on me. It has an hypnotic effect. It is one whose whole exceeds the sum of its parts. This is a Brazilian pop-jazz-bossa c.d. Bebel Gilberto, daughter of the immortal Astrud, sings with a very breathy tone--not as breathy as Gabriela Anders, but not as solid as Maria Rita or Flora Purim, either. The c.d. is heavy on acoustic guitar and percussion. She sings in English and Portuguese--and on some tracks, in both languages. There is no one track that truly stands out. But after awhile, you notice the effective coloration of strings, the cello, the bass trombone, the alto flutes and the tenor sax. It all sneaks up on you quite subtly. This is a perfect c.d. to download into your I-pod, and cool with on the beach while sunbathing, drinking wine coolers, and watching "the girls from Ipanema" as they pass by. RC |
