5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT DEBUT ALBUM BY A GREAT DIVA - - - - -- - - - - , November 29, 2004

By	Papetti "papetti" (Mexico City) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This Debut Album is full of surprises; first of all and perhaps the most important aspect of this recording is Ive's superb voice; it's perfect for her style (pop/smooth jazz).
The phrasing, the tempo, the compositions, eveything in this album guarantees you a delightful experience.
And the video??............... well, if you perceive the vocal hues, you can imagine the video.
Don't miss this gem from the wonderful realm of Brazilian Music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nao Vou Fugir....., March 24, 2007

By	V. Lara (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard Nao Vou Fugir on the Deluxe Edition of Erotic Lounge and I really enjoyed what I heard, needless to say, I immediately bought two copies of the cd. The reasoning behind this is that there are different versions of the the cd, some with remixes and another version with songs that are exclusive to that version of the album. The songs on the cd all have different "flavours", down-to mid-tempo, light jazz and some hints of bossa, all which are perfect for lounging during the day or after dark.

Ive's collaborative work with Mr. Hermano is definitely worth taking a listen, Capoeira Love Affair, Como Um Sol, and Jugando Con Fuego are all available on various compilations. Ive also collaborates with producer Robin Millar on his solo cd entitled "Kiss and Tell", although it is only on two songs, regardless it is an enjoyable listen. Lastly, Ive released a song, quite some time ago, by the name of "Hanime", it has a sound that is a little different than the songs on this cd, but the song is just as seductive, if not even more so, than anything on this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good Bosa Nova singer, January 11, 2007

By	Haru (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

I've purchased this album because I liked her song "Nao Vou Fugir" in the Siddharta: Spirit of Buddha-bar Vol. 3. Few songs in this album are very nice, if you like Bebel Gilberto and other traditional Bosa Nova music.
