| 4.0 excellent | Bedex | August 8th 22 |
A really lovely Brazilian album that is also a re-recording of a much older album by Powell, but this time accompanied by a quatuor of female vocalists who seem to be four sisters. And therein lies the secret ingredient of a glorious mix, for to me this chorale of candid and joyous voices adds enormous depth and feel to the songs. I love this album's version of Canto de Ossanha of course, and 3, 6 or 10 are also very happy jams. I find the broodier, moodier tracks to be perhaps less fitting to this sound, but remain very lovely with 4 being the first example as its title implies, or 8 being a later one. 9 stands out as a semi peculiar track, more instrumental, more trance inducing than it is dancey, but I would not say there is a rupture. In fact the album is very well structured and displays good unity and transitions throughout. The outro track is perhaps a bit long but it is otherwise nicely functional. It feels like the album could use being 10 min shorter, but not by slashing any particular song, just by trimming a bit of fat here and there. Quality and has some of my favourite Brazilian songs, but also has some downtime. 3.9
