0536. Astrud Gilberto
Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto is the Girl From Ipanema. Sadly, it's not on this album but an earlier one.
This, of course, is still airy samba / bossa nova that you just can't dislike. Problem is you can't really like it either. Not that you'd be indifferent, but you'd just be a little elated. Not a lot, but just a bit.

Gilberto's voice might not have the widest range, but it works for these songs (even though it shines through a couple of times).

It's cute music, but not so much more.
