From the label
Following her best-selling debut album Equilibria, singer-songwriter Sabrina Malheiros returns with an album of 21st century bossa-soul that mixes bossa, samba, disco and house together to create a sophisticated and sublime album. With 70s-inspired sweeping samba-soul songs nestled in between boogie-tinged jazz, house rhythms and funky cinematic-bossa breaks and featuring the unmistakable vocals of Sabrina, this new release sees Rio's original nu-bossa star recreate the honesty of her debut but with a new sense of maturity and sophistication. Featuring an all-star Brazilian team which includes Zé Carlos, Jose Roberto Bertrami, Ivan Conti and Paulinho Braga as well as legendary Brazilian arranger and composer Arthur Verocai this is an album of classic Brazilian songwriting combining contemporary production alongside the epic arrangements. Sabrina Malheiros is a highly accomplished young talent who has a musical heritage that is deeply rooted in Brazilian musical history. As the daughter of Alex Malheiros, the bassist from the legendary Azymuth; Sabrina is clearly under no illusion as to the influence this had in her musical journey. "With my father in Azymuth and my grandfather with Sergio Mendes, I have always been surrounded by the samba beat!"

Customer Reviews

Nu Bossa brilliance
Brazilian jazz at its most exhilarating: Sabrina Malheiros has come up with a shimmering cluster of Nu Bossa pearls - each original composition providing a perfect vehicle for the funky Rio jazz-samba that pervades the album. The production is flawless and generous - an expertly-crafted capoeira of guitars, horns, flutes, Alex Malheiros bass and multi-instrumental percussion. Yes, the pulsating grooves are infectious - but the knockout blow comes with Sabrina's blissful melodies, effortlessly sung with a blend of Brazilian insouciance, energy and feeling. Highly recommended!

New Morning
I absolutely love this album. I love it even more than Sabrina's first album (Equilibria) although that is brilliant too. I can highly recommend it to anyone who loves modern brazilian music. It's fresh and when you listen to it you might think that summer is here, even on a cold winter day.
