Customer Reviews:

mostly pop, but don't miss the rainstorm.......2005-09-01

It's mostly contemporary Brazilian pop songs, done extremely well. The melodies are catchy and instantly hummable. This is not remixed music with thumping bass 'four on the floor' for dancing, though most of it does use drum machines (tastefully). Most of it is mid-tempo. All lyrics included (in Portuguese).

Most of the tracks do not have a distinctly Brazilian musical flavor. The two that do are my favorite cuts. On #3 she is backed by samba percussion and sings an 'old-style' Brazilian MPB-type of song. On the last song, it's just her wonderful voice singing a sweet melody a cappella against a faux rainstorm (with birds). Beautifully simple and captivating, especially after 10 pop songs.

Goopy, but a nice voice.......2002-11-12

Super-slick, ornately produced soft soul that follows the template set by other Brazilian pop-soul artists. Not my cup of tea, but fans of Marisa Monte and Bebel Gilberto will probably want to check this out.

AMAZING!.......2002-07-03

This is a really great album that marries a great Brazilian feel with Pop music and an urban vibe. Her voice is beautiful and it's the kind of CD you just play the entire way through and love every song.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful album.......2005-09-15

I first heard Luciana Mello on a fantastic DVD set called Um Barzinho Um Violao which I think means something like "a barstool and a guitar" which is all wonderful brazilian acoustic guitar and vocals. Luciana Mello was a huge standout for her captivating voice and sense of rhythm. This album is more "pop", fairly heavily produced, but it doesn't disappoint. Same great voice, rhythm, and tunes that grow on you the more you listen. The fact it's all in Portuguese is not a problem, you can still feel a lot of meaning in the singing. Someday I won't be surprised to see Luciana Mello is a big success in the U.S.!

Luciana Mello- Olha Pra Ela.......2004-08-30

i picked up a lot of wonderful brasilian music during my stay in Salvador da bahia this summer. This selection includes the great gilberto gil, olodum, gal costa, caetono veloso, and more.
Luciana Mello represents a fresh, vibrant class of brasilian artists who are not out to make a dollar. there is a lot of thoughtfulness behind the lyrics, voice, and rhythms.

now i hate to compare on a global level because i want to respect each artist's background and approach. however, amazon is massive as is the virtual world and i want this lady to get support. so, i will say that if you like les nubians (the r&b plus sisters from paris) you love luciana mello. no doubt.
