If you're looking for a cool world music chill-out album to augment your battered copy of Bebel Gilberto's Tanto Tempo, look no further. Mais Uma sounds more like the follow-up to that millennial album than Gilberto's own self-titled successor. That's partly because of the posthumous spirit of Suba, the brilliant Yugoslavian producer who made Sao Paulo his home until his untimely death in 1999. Two of the tracks, Segredo and Are You Sleeping? (which appeared on the Suba Tributo album) are collaborations with Suba. But all the tracks stand up; the album is a real grower. Katia B has no fixed style - six producers are credited - and there's a pleasing, almost bewildering diversity of approaches: electric beats, acoustic drums and percussion, feisty organ, gentle bossa guitar, sparkling piano, (Egberto Gismonti on Are You Sleeping?) crackling samples and loops, all brilliantly mixed with vocals that are variously loose, crude and sophisticated. Só Deixo Meu Coração Na Mão de Quem Pode, the dramatic opener, boasts the most adventurous soundscape, all radio static, loops, trip-hop beats, yells and spooky spoken word - a kind of
Brazilian Gotan Project.

Só Deixo Meu Coração Na Mão de Quem Pode
Katia B Lyrics
Outra Estação Se o meu ciúme te parece mal é só uma impressão ele…
parece mentira Eu não sei o que foi Que me deu Quando eu…
Segredo Se for um desejo... eu peço pra me guiar Se for…
