Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by their wildly successful cover of 'The Look of Love', the third album by Mendes' sleek ensemble was instrumental in popularizing bossa nova globally. The impeccably produced record fuses complex Brazilian batucada rhythms with slick, dual-female vocal harmonies and highly sophisticated lounge-pop arrangements.
