Outstanding, melancholic, soothing release here. And I must say that if you're a Bebel Gilberto fan, I'm pretty sure you'll want to get your hands on this. Likewise, if you're into Thievery Corporation's Eighteenth Street Lounge - and dig Isabela Antenna's vocals, this is for you. Helena is perhaps most popular in France or Japan - her full name is Helena Noguerra and before this, the most popular song she released was "Bikini".
The vocals on this cd are amazing. She's so smooth, and she never takes her voice far out of range. You don't have shreiking or attempts to stray out of range, Helena just lets the music come to her - her style is soft and the accompaniment is true to this "genre". But - this is a rarity because I can put this on in the background and literally play the cd through to the end. Even the more upbeat tracks - like "M'en aller" and "Vem Aqui" never take away from the general feel of the cd.
