Review by scoundrel Feb 15, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

More beatiful, summery Brazilian vibes from Bebel Gilberto's second eponymous album. No one makes modern bossa nova and samba as sweet and bright as Ms. Gilberto: "Simplesmente," true to its title, has a stripped-down simplicity that doesn't need excessive bells and whistles. Ms. Gilberto's vocals carry the day here, from the smooth "All Around" to the more mysterious "Cada Beijo." Her voice cuts through the density of "River Song" and gives "Every Day You've Been Away" and "Next to You" a certain poignancy. "O Caminho" takes a lovely path, and even "Winter" melts under Gilberto's gentle touch. Even the silly "Jabuticaba" takes on real meaning in her capable hands. So much cheaper than a plane ticket to Brazil!
