Album Notes & Community Reviews
Masterminded alongside producer Herb Alpert, this debut seamlessly fuses the rhythmic lilt of Brazilian bossa nova with sleek, American lounge-pop. The dual female vocal harmonies of Lani Hall and Bibi Vogel float over Mendes' syncopated piano lines, creating an accessible, highly rhythmic crossover sound.
