	Marisa Monte
		A top-selling Brazilian popular music artist, Monte doesn't have the commanding voice of a Daniela Mercury, but she makes up for it with a flawless pop sensibility, floating from kinetic funk to gentle acoustic samba, blending syncopation, harmonic sophistication, and irresistable melody.
		On her debut, produced by Nelson Motta, Monte didn't record any of her own songs, covering tunes by everyone from Brazilian funk pioneer Tim Maia ("Chocolate") to Norm Whitfield ("I Heard It Through The Grapevine") to Gershwin ("Bess You Is My Woman Now").
		Most of the material is by Monte and/or Nando Reis, and the lyrics are light, ambivalent and thought-provoking ("Diariamente"); there are also a couple of covers (Caetano Veloso's "De Noite Na Cama").

		Marisa was a lyric singer for many years, and the repertoire she picked in this, her first album, is almost a statement to break with the rigorous classic style she had always followed.
		Marisa's interpretations are extremely expressive - her voice is pure, crystal clear emotion - and her vocal range and sensuality simply blow you away.
		Marisa hadn't developed her talents as a songwriter by this time, but the repertoire is highly stimulating, with excellent Brazilian rock tunes by Arnaldo Antunes, Tim Maia and Rita Lee, creative covers of old sambas and even a few jazz standards.

		Marisa Monte grew up breathing samba, and Universo, her first all-samba release, devotes itself to resurrecting classic sambas that have never been recorded.
		Monte's great talent can get buried in syrupy arrangements, but that's not the case here: her iridescent voice often does its slow-motion bossa nova clad in just a guitar and brushed drums.

		Marisa Monte, one of the strongest voices of Brazilian popular music, has one of the sweetest and most seductive voices you'll ever hear.
		Ranging from utterly acoustic to gently electric, Monte doesn't try to rock your world, but lets her voice slip into the bloodstream and the heart on songs like "Tema de Amor." If only all pop music were as good as this....
		Many of the seeds of the ethnomusical/sociopolitical phenomenon that is Tribalistas were sown on this CD, both in Marisa's collaborations with Carlinhos Brown and Arnaldo Antunes and the exploration of a sound which is simultaneously soft and vulnerable (sighing violins, delicately-entwined harmonies) and raw and jagged (crunchy guitars, feedback squeals, crashing percussion).

		Monte remains in firm control of her first-rate material, like the lovely "Ainda Lembro" and (reaching back to pre-bossa nova days) the stately "Rosa," from Rio legend Pixinguinha.
