Maybe the greatest album so far from Ithamara Koorax – and quite a
change from some of her previous records, too! A number of the songs
are 70s soul classics – music that's clearly inspired Ithamara over the
years, and which really drives her to deliver a strongly soulful vocal
approach throughout! Another great aspect of the album is the presence
of Jose Roberto Bertrami – who brings in these amazing Fender Rhodes
lines that really fit the sound – the kind of warm, soulful lines that
always made his work in Azymuth so great. There's still a nice dose of
Brazilian jazz in the mix, but the overall approach is a lot more
soul-based than usual – and the jazzy keyboards really deepen the sound,
too – and give the record a feel that's way deeper than just a
collection of covers. Titles include "Got To Be Real", "Butterfly",
"Goin Out Of My Head", "Never Can Say Goodbye", "Negue", "My Favorite
Things", "Vesti Azul", and "Pigmalio 70".
