As you might expect,
Timeless isnt your parents Sergio Mendes. Take "Mais Que Nada," the opener from that topselling staple of post-60s, post-bossa, near-kitsch
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66: Greatest Hits. Here its no simple, slinky groove. The Black-Eyed Peas are along for the bumpin ride. What it amounts to is the same intercultural collision that happened when bossa nova met jazz and pop via Stan Getzs tenor sax, except here the meeting is between the lounge and, presumably, the street. John Legend and India.Arie keep the session on a downtempo, neo Brazilian vibe on "Please Baby Dont" and the title track (respectively). Once those are tunes end, though, its back to the bump and the beats and the irresistible party vibe of the set. Dont fret, though, as the Peas keep things light enough to trigger innocent headbobs and chilled out dance steps. Just as you might hear
Timeless and agree that it aint your parents Sergio, your parents can also hear will.i.ams and the Peass pivotal roles and say that its not their kids Black-Eyed Peas, either
