Editorial Reviews :
Her father may be the legendary Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto, but in 2000 daughter Bebel proved that she understands the bossa nova, too. There's a subtlety throughout this recording that makes Bebel's voice entrancing, as she re-creates the sensual essence of bossa nova before running with it into electronic territory toward the album's end. Tanto Tempo is an even-tempered statement that manages to showcase Bebel's own sexy voice while gracefully remembering the past.
Buyer Reviews :
Finally! An album that puts emphasis on mood, tempo, melodic variations, rhythm, and most of all, an alluring voice for our times. Sade captured the world by storm when she came on the scene in '85, and I hope this talented descendent of one of the pioneers of bossa nova meets a similar fate. I guess it's unfair to compare any newcomer to Sade, but both women demonstrate that it doesn't take vocal bombast to communicate a song's message and moods.
Like Sade, Bebel Gilberto has an alluring, seductive, captivating voice, not to mention a quality that enrages the hormones in any male listener! Unlike Sade, however, Bebel doesn't possess the low, smokey, dusky tone, but then few women nowadays do. Bebel's voice is as clear and refreshing as an April shower on a hot summer's day. Kudos to the producers for providing a highly listenable and entertaining CD. There are derivations of musical influences from Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Latin cultures. The bossa nova makes a welcome return with a slightly different twist almost 40 years after Bebel's famous folks cut the scene. Astrud and Joao must be sitting proud of their daughter. After being bombarded by the likes of Britney, Christina, NSync, etc, it's good to see and hear that substantial music is back and making some noise of its own.
