i just discovered this album yesterday...HOW in the world did i ever sleep on this? it's gorgeous!

think of 'girl from ipanema' meets saint etienne by way of a really lush madonna album, and you're just on the cusp of knowing what this album sounds like. ya just gotta hear it. beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

i've been enjoying this album since last summer!

oh yeah? well THANKS A LOT FOR TELLING ME ABOUT IT!!!

ah well. better late than never. i'm loving it. this album hit me like a ton of bricks.

Anxiety said:

I was looking for music by Antoni Carlos Jobim and didn't find any but say that and see it often when looking for Braziallian music. I was interested. So it's really good then?

VinnyM27 said:

it's positively, deliriously, unbelievably gorgeous.

Anxiety said:

That's a really postive review. Do you know who Elis Regina is (was)?

VinnyM27 said:

nope, no idea.

Anxiety said:

Well if you like Braziallian Pop/Bossa Nova, maybe you should check out "Tom and Elis", her collobration with Antonio Carlos Jobim. It's the first and only Braziallian CD I own and I like it (I bought it for the track "Aguas De Marco"...beautiful!).

LOL, I've purchased this album as gifts for more than one person, but never actually bought it myself. I don't know what's holding me back as I've listened to samples in stores and really liked them. I love Latin alternative music and Bebel sorta fits into that genre. Maybe next month.

Anxiety said:

amen! reels you in straight away with the first track

she's also worked with Thievery Corporation. check them out sometime.

Its good, but not a good as her first album in 2002. Go check that out.

speak2amy said:

i got the latest thievery corporation yesterday as well...i think i was too absorbed with bebel to really get into it, but i plan on sitting down and checking it out this weekend. i also got a couple of matmos albums yesterday. bebel gilberto's album was the shining star out of all that, fer shure.

Anxiety said:

nice I originally came across Bebel Gilberto when buying Julie Delpy's album. you know the French actress? she recently released her first album and Im liking it. no doubt her accent helps.

I havent got Bebel's first album yet but will check it soon, like SquirrelMeat suggested.

speak2amy said:

julie delpy has an album?!?!? how is it?

Anxiety said:

some of her songs are featured in the movie Before Sunset (which she also stars in with Ethan Hawke). I may be bias about the album bcoz I love the film, although not to confuse her album with the soundtrack. a couple of songs have had the essential looping treatment by me, but like I said I could well be bias.

I dig it.

Anxiety said:

If I'm not mistaken my favorite song right now is a song called THE HEARTS A LONELY HUNTER by Thievery Corp. and David Byrne from the Talking Heads. I love it. Anybody else heard it. It's very rythmic.

speak2amy said:

a long time ago, when i lived in new york, i worked in a video store that had a jamaican security guy who was obsessed with julie delpy. whenever someone came in and was browsing around, he'd always say "don't ya want ta see tha julie delpa? rent this - it got tha julie delpa!"

so whenever i hear her name, i always wanna call her "tha julie delpa".

Anxiety said:

you know, i thought i started a thread about this awhile back. anyways, when i do start a thread about something i think is hot it usually sinks, and about a couple of months later someone starts a thread about the same album/artist and its a blazing topic.

whassup with that!

sinisterpentatonic said:

You're too far ahead of the pack musically.

Let's face it Sin, you also dig...

Anxiety said:

I so need to get this. I have a friend who is like the guru on this kind of music and I asked him about it he wasn't too impressed. She has a great voice...and the music is really beautiful too. This is another person recommending that this get picked up...I think I will.

superspaceboy said:

i can see how someone who is hardcore into brazilian music and tropicalia might not be too impressed with this album. it's not pure or traditional, it doesn't color in the lines. she's someone who comes from a certain background, and she makes pop albums. the production is in the style of a madonna or bjork album...which isn't to say it's overly electronic, because it's not. not at all. it's very lush and warm and human sounding. but it's a pop album, definitely.

i saw her here in portland about 6-7 months ago, very nice show. i had heard tanto tempo and liked it a lot, but haven't yet gotten the newer one.

It's beautiful!
I love the "airy" production.

I think I heard some Bebel during the art gallery scenes in Julia Roberts' movie Closer.

She is exquisite. I dig her previous album, Tanto Tempo, even more.

CinisterCee said:

really? i saw 'closer' last week and didn't notice the music that much, but it could have been bebel. i hadn't heard the album yet when i saw the movie.

namepeace said:

i can say with full authority that bebel gilberto is perfect bath music. yum.
