Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0657036113329 Label: Six Degrees Manufacturer: Six Degrees MPN: 1133 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Six Degrees Release Date: April 24, 2007 Studio: Six Degrees Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Three discs into her acclaimed solo career, it's a no-brainer that the Brazilian pop charms of Bebel Gilberto will conjure a slew of beach-inspired adjectives. "Refreshing," "wind-swept" and "sun-kissed" spring to mind. Momento continues Gilberto's trend of crafting sultry scenes of afternoon delight via tunes that both adhere to traditions and sound ultra-modern. But she also mixes things up a bit in the process. Gilberto's sensual delivery--featured here in English and in Portuguese--hovers in and around each song, more an extension of the rhythms than the showpiece. Make no mistake, though: Gilberto's vocal work is a thing of beauty. She again blends bossa nova, samba, pop and electronica flourishes, but no one genre overpowers any other. Liliting guitars give way to pulsing percussion and horns, which crash against loops and samples. Gilberto coos amid the catchy club flavor of "Bring Back the Love," and the moonlit "Close to You" recalls Sade. The daughter of Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto even tackles Cole Porter's "Night and Day," recasting it as a hushed moment of bossa loveliness. And the title track is a collage of sonic secrets and memories. Perfect for a patio brunch--or an evening under the stars. --Joey Guerra Album Description: 2007 release, the third album from the undisputed Queen of new Brazilian music. Bebel is the multi-talented daughter of Brazilian legend Joao Gilberto who has created her own musical path while also embracing her past. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, London and New York. Momento features titles penned by Bebel, producer Guy Sigsworth (known for his collaborations with Bjork and as being a former member of Bomb The Bass) and The Brazilian Girls. Momento's sound is perfectly poised between the crystalline, Electronic simplicity of her debut album Tanto Tempo and the acoustic sophistication of her second, self-titled opus. V2. 2007. Album Details: Recorded in Rio De Janeiro, London and New York. Four Titles have Been Written by Londonian Producer Guy Sigsworth (Known for his Collaborations with Bjork and as Being a Former Member of Bomb the Bass). Three Other Titles have Been Written by the Brazilian Girls. All Other Titles have Been Written by Bebel Gilberto Herself Except "Tranquilo" which have Been Recorded with Big Band Carioca Orquestra Imperial. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of her bestIf you love Bossa Nova, this is for you. Really great music and Bebe's usual mellodic tunes and soothing sounds! Rating: - Good albumBebel up to date still remains my favorite female artist. She continues to do what she does best in this album and that's make deep and sensual music. Though personally this isn't my favorite album that she's made, however the songs Momento, Close to you, Azul, and Cade Voce in my opinion are more of the rare gems Bebel has added to her already popular arsenal of great Bossa Nova music. Any true fan of hers would be satisfied with her overall performance of this album. Keep it up Bebel!!!!! Rating:  - Bueno...Buen disco, sin embargo ha perdido mucho desde el disco Tanto tiempo. Sin embargo los fanaticos deben esperar musica muy suave , con muchos riffs electrónicos. Bebel sin embargo sigue brindandonos su amor y su musica a todos quienes la admiramos Rating: - Slightly less wonderful than her previous works, but well worth getting, just the same.This is another fine effort by Bebel, and the music is , for the most part, wonderful. I just wish she would stick to what she does best - her acoustic side. The songs on this album that have "club" beats just cannot compare, in my opinion, to her minimalist efforts that showcase her amazing vocal talent. Her version of Cole Porter's "Night and Day", will always be up there among her very best! Maybe not as perfect as her previous two offereings, but an essential part of her musical library, just ...
