Neo classic electro pop & soul from Nite Jewel – featuring the haunting synths and beats that we loved on her earlier album – and she delivers better songs and more confident vocals on this excellent set for Secretly Canadian! Nite Jewel seemingly loves pop soul and drum machine funk, which of course endears us greatly to her stuff. What's exciting now is that she's really developed a distinguished voice now – this really a really strong, standout album! Includes "This Story", "One Second Of Love", "She's Always Watching You", "Mind & Eyes", "Memory, Man", "No I Don't", "Autograph", "Clive" and more. (Limited edition "white haze" vinyl. Includes digital download.).
Amazing stuff – the most intriguing album we've heard from Gal Costa in decades – and one of the first in many years to get back to the more experimental side of her music! The set was co-produced by Caetano and Moreno Veloso (who also play on the session as well), and it's really got Gal getting back to the creative styles of the Tropicalia years – yet also filtered through the more contemporary modes that Moreno's been using in his 21st Century projects too! The blend is incredible – a reminder that Costa can still be pretty damn captivating when she wants to be – and that she's still part of one of the most important musical communities on the planet. Kassin also does a lot of work on the record – and in a way, it almost sound most like some of his best creative projects in recent years – but graced with all the indescribable depth that Costa brings to her presentation of the lyrics. Titles include "Segunda", "Recanto Escura", "Cara Do Mundo", "Autotune Autoerotico", "Tudo Doi", and "Neguinho
A great slice of work from Joyce's career at EMI/Odeon – one that focuses on material from the classic Agua E Luz and Feminina albums – plus some later 90s tracks too! Joyce never let up during these years – still going strong, working in a mix of gentle bossa, jazzy folk, and strongly expressive lyrics that set her apart from most of her generation – truly sublime music that's made her one of our favorite Brazilian artists ever! The set features a few duet tracks, plus great solo material – and titles include "Feminina", "Misterios", "Rio Doce", "Duas Ou Tres Coisas", "Aldeia De Ogum", "Mais Uma Vez Mais Uma Voz", "Capitao", "Revendo Amigos", "Eternamente Gravida", "Minha Gata Rita Lee", "Rei Morto Rei Posto", and "Monsieur Binot".
