The first single from The Brazilian Girls are anything but funky and a little cheeky. Mixing a little of dance, electronic and laid-back lounge, the first single is a sweet fusion. It doesn't hurt that the lyrics go: "Don't stop, don't stop...just keep on going until I come" :)

Nothing beats the album version. Riton's Dub essentially make the song more danceable which also means it loses some of that funkiness of the original.

Just received my copy from amazon in the mail. Housed in a jewelcase with front & back inserts, this fun package came as a surprise before even listening to the fun mixes. The front cover art features the band member's legs. When you flip the box over, the picture continues but upside-down. I think this is a cool design concept. ;) The four-page booklet includes band & credits info. Disc is white with 'raised' blue graphics and a cyan-toned thumbnail of band. Titling is in red.

Tracks one and two are practically the same. I like the keyboard arrangements and appreciate these tracks for those arrangements alone. Track two contains less Sabina therefore making this an almost-instrumental version of track one. It could've been omitted from the tracklist and something more dancier could've been added instead. Track three is the album version, which is the best song on their debut CD. Track four has an extended 'beat-based' intro before the song actually starts. Track five features Sabina's 'breathy' acappella rendition. It is the original vocal layer. Since it is a vocal-only track, Sabina's smokey vocals are evidently clearer because there's nothing to distract the listener's ear. That's how I finally realized she was saying "......let's drink some tea and smoke some herb".

Buy it for collecting purposes, and to support this remarkable band. Not quite the clubbing single, I do appreciate it anyway.
