Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - An Excellent CD The long awaited "debut" album of Bebel Gilberto doesn't disappoint. Sixdegrees Records has yet another star. Tanto Tempo is amazing, everything you would expect from Bebel Gilberto given her various special appearances (Next Stop Wonderland, Red Hot + Rio) and musical background. This style is similar to the NSW... but arguably better. A few notables include a duet with Nina Miranda of Smoke City (2) along with tracks produced by the late Suba. A smooth, sensual, easy CD perfect for any occasion, fusing acid jazz, bossa nova, samba and R&B. Excellent sound quality, excellent accompaniment, a magnificent voice. Highly recommended CD. Rating: - Fresh and breezy, cool and easy I was looking for a really nice bossa nova album, and after I had bought Suba's album, I became even more interested in Brazilian music. I sampled this album online a few weeks ago, and I couldn't wait to run to the store and pick it up. When I got there, this was the last copy, and when I rushed home and popped it in my cd player, the world just slowed down to a gentle pace, and I found myself moving more relaxed and feeling....very sensuous! The most beautiful selection on this album is the title cut, "Tanto Tempo". I have listened to it 5 times in rapid succession (I'm listening now and I'm about to rewind it again!) This is the most dreamy, romantic song I've heard in a long time-it's a shame it's the shortest track on the album-I could listen to it for another 5 minutes! It has a retro, kind of old-fashioned sound to it (especially the beginning)but then it slowly brings you foreward in time...I imagine a person sitting on a beach reminiscing about an encounter many years ago in an elegant Brazilian club...it's the kind of music that inspires you to dream....or just relax. The first track is also another one that conjures up pleasant images...and I HIGHLY reccomend this album as background music for a romantic dinner date at home-it's sensual without being sexual-and it's got enough of a musical mix to not be dull. I'm partial to the Portugese tracks-Bebel's voice just isn't as strong on her English tracks-it seems as if she has a little difficulty singing in English. It's not horrible, but she sounds as if she's trying too hard to make sure her pronunciation is perfect. Bananeira (banana tree) is a fabulous track-it's an upbeat,funky jazzy tune with a catchy title-I found myself walking around the house singing "bananeira, bananeira"! He blend of past, present (and future) Brazilian music styles is phenomenal. Pick this album up if you're ready for an instant vacation. Rating: - A marvelously subtle and lovely work Bebel Gilberto is a true child of Brazilian music royalty, and she is keeping the dynasty going in excellent style. Daughter of bossa nova genius Joao Gilberto and Miucha--a fine singer in her own right, though less well known in the United States--and niece of the brilliant, unequalled Chico Buarque, she has inherited an absolutely beautiful voice and superb songwriting ability. Her CD succeeds in marrying the traditional rhythms and hypnotic melodies of bossa nova with a fresh, modern sound, thanks to producer Suba, and guests ranging from Amon Tobin to percussionist extraordinaire Carlinhos Brown. Sung in both English and Portuguese, the music ranges from soft and romantic to high-energy samba to delightfully jazzy. For me, a special treat is her wonderful cover of Chico's gorgeous and sexy "Samba e Amor"--but everything's great.
