CéU - CéU

If Bebel Gilberto represents revival, modernization or even rehash of the sixties Getz/Jobim era popularization of Brazilian lounge, CéU is the next wave. While retaining the sultry, breathy vocals and the tones and sensibilities of the lounge soundscape, the vocal range is expanded somewhat, and even more trip-hop is added to the mix, especially in “Lenda” and the lovely tail end of “Roda.” Nice mellow version of Marley’s “Concrete Jungle” here as well…
