Amazon.com It's no surprise that Starbucks is behind Brazilian chanteuse CéU's self-titled debut disc. (A co-release with the ever-tasteful Six Degrees Records.) The slinky, soulful sounds would be right at home amid mocha frapuccinos and lattes with extra foam. But CéU is more than a mere coffee-club cutie. Her sexy, assured vocals infuse every song with a come-hither vibe, from the playful "Rainha" to the simmering "10 Contados." The disc also showcases a slightly funky, urban sensibility; and electronic flourishes amplify the modern feel. "Vinheta Dorival" segues from standard guitar licks into gentle percussion rhythms. And a cover of Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle" is elegant and effortless. Though originally released overseas in 2005, CéU's captivating collection still rings with truth and vibrancy. A truly caffeinated experience. --Joey Guerra Product Description This is Ceu's us debut self titled debut album that is surprisingly mature and fully realized for a debut effort and features a blend of samba, reggae, dub, electronica, love, heartbreak, chaos and sweet, sweet tone fullness that's perfect recipe for a irresistible album by a thrilling new artists.ASIN: B000GIWH16VSKU: GGV.B000GIWH16.VGCondition: Very GoodAuthor/Artist:CéuBinding: Audio CD
