[USED:Cond.AB] Bebel Gilberto

The follow up to the landmark 'Tanto Tempo' sees Bebel Gilberto release the definitive summer soundtrack. Dreamy and oozing warmth, her self-titled new album retains a distinctive Brazilian sound blended with subtle electronica reminiscent of her days with former producer, the late Suba. Bebel has enlisted the talents of producer Marius de Vries (Rufus Wainwright, Björk). Several distinguished guest musicians and co-producers have also worked on the album, including Carlinhos Brown, Brazilian master percussionist Marcos Suzano, Guy Sigsworth and Pascal Gabriel, not to mention a dozen other musicians and a full string section, who participated to the various recording sessions which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador de Bahia, New York, and London. Paradoxically, these new songs (most of which were written or co-written by Bebel) sound even more intimate than 'Tanto Tempo', and Bebel's unique voice has never sounded so warm and soulful.
