5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Rita Lee albums!, January 26, 2010

Just a quick WARNING for this interested in this item. Amazon provides the track listing for her 1979 album though this is actually her 1980 effort.

By the time Rita released this album, which is known as "Lança Perfume", she had already flirted with the more mainstream glitzy sounds that the Brazilian music world had to offer on her previous album. The one thing that sets the two albums apart is that here, Rita sounds much more comfortable playing the role of the glamorous pop star as opposed to the campy arena rock n roll queen most people knew and thought of her as during the previous decade. The songs on here are strong and solid with not one dull number. Truly a great pop album from start to finish with a bit of something for everyone and easily one of the best 80's pop albums, not just from Brazil but from anywhere.

For those who love brazilian music, rock and bossa novas, this singer is one of the best well known of her generation, and this particular album is one of her best.
I strongly recommend it.
