Dunno if you've ever seen this one but it says only superlatives, so I thought it will be fun to read (plus some English vocabulary for me ;-)). By Jonathan Widran: Basia's tantalizing Brazilian breez and "Basia-nova" is a sheer delight to liste to. She keeps the same sweet infectiousness which made her debut "Time and Tide" a platinum stroke of genius. This time she's infused '60s soul and some heartfelt, sparkling ballads, like "Brave New Hope". Her voice is distinctive and lilting, her lyrics interesting, and her production frisky, employing such oddities as accordion and bass sax. Other top cuts include "Best friends" and rousing cover of "Until You Come Back to Me". Her disappearance from regular recordings after the mid-'90s (she made few guest appearances on instrumental albums) was a great loss for adult contemporary music. Have a great weekend, Krysia _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Friends get your Flickr, Yelp, and Digg updates when they e-mail you. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_3:092010 ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V14 #5 **************************
