Music reviews of Momento (Dig)

Music Review: Solid
Rating: 3 Stars

I remember when I first heard Bebel Gilberto years ago off of Cazuza's "Preciso Dizer Que te Amo". Great song, and Bebel's voice was very sweet. But it was after hearing her on the soundtrack to "Next Stop Wonderland" that I began looking and anticipating hre feature cd. "Tanto Tempo" came out and I was impressed - very nice album with some terrific tributes and arrangements. Granted, "Samba De Bencao" was laced over fellow Brazilian Amon Tobin's "Nova" from his Permutation CD but it worked so well! But Bebel's second cd was a bit disappointing to me, so I was a bit guarded with this one - particularly when I saw how much the producers seemed to be trumpeted out...

Her third feature with Crammed/Ziriguiboom is good. It's got a few nice moments. In particular, I thought "Azul" was nice with a mellowed bossa beat to it. And I liked "Cacada" too - maybe most of all. Nice arrangement, actually sounded a little lighter and the guitar play was great. Celso Fonseca featured so no surprise there. A latin touch with "Um Segundo" did admittedly take me by surprise. And I liked "Words", just guitar and her voice. Sort of reminds me of "Samba E Amor" from her first album. But in the end those were the highlights to me. "Bring Back the Love" was the song used to announce the arrival of this cd, and it's nothing spectacular to me... sort of forgetable but it is meant for the dancefloor so it'll probably get some neat remixes. And some of the other songs on this one seemed to wan a bit... I understand the vibe intended but a bit more of a real, live, *SPARK* would have been great here. To be honest, some of the songs really did sound like 'filler'.

At the end of the day, it's a nice album but perhaps I put a little too much expectation on some of the releases. Without question though I think it could be better... just my opinion, but sometimes I felt like this album wasn't as much about the singing/songwriting and music like her first album... I don't care if it's "Brazilian Girls" producing anything, what matters is the sound and actual music. On Tanto Tempo, of course Suba's influence was great but wasn't "August Day Song" very nice too, which featured Christian Franck and Nina Miranda? I just came away from this album feeling like it sounded good, but something was missing. Like maybe there should be some more guest artists like featured in Cacada... it would be neat for Marcos Valle or the Far Out crew also could have contributed (Imagine what Roc Hunter could do!)

But if you did enjoy this, of course be on the look-out for the remix album - maybe there'll be another stunner of a mix like The Latin Project's take on "Aganju". Speaking of Christian Franck and Nina Miranda, be on the lookout for an album from them too - they've got a project going called "Zeep" which promises to be pretty interesting. If you liked "August Day Song", you'd like their track "Agua". You might also like Ceu's album... very interesting and fresh approach and... she's absolutely stunning!!

Description of Momento (Dig)

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.
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
