With Valentine's Day right around the corner, what better way to celebrate with the one you love than spending a romantic evening with the cool sounds of Bebel's All in One. 


Jessica, a writer for a website devoted to love, likelove.org, seems to agree with this review:

ALL IN ONE ALBUM DESCRIPTION
2009 release, the vocalist’s debut album from the Verve Records label. Known worldwide for her ability to connect modern sounds with the heart and soul of Brazilian music, the New York-born Gilberto focuses on the rhythms of her native country, devising a cosmopolitan yet classic sound with the help of a diverse group of collaborators, including Carlinhos Brown (Caetano Veloso), Didi Gutman (Brazilian Girls), Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse), Daniel Jobim (grandson of Antonio Carlos Jobim) and John King (the Dust Brothers). All In One perfectly expresses Gilberto’s interest in making music that feels romantic and fluid. In particular, Most of the record is sung in Portuguese, Bebel’s native language, and was conceived, developed and recorded in her home studio.

Bebel Gilberto Gives Her "All," Associated Content Review

Being both the niece of Brazilian singer-composer Chico Buarque and the Grammy-nominated daughter of bossa nova king João Gilberto and Brazilian singer-composer Miúcha means that having expectations of musical greatness thrust upon you is inescapable. Bebel Gilberto seems not only to know this all too well, but to revel in said knowledge. On "All In One," her latest solo recording, the New York-born chanteuse delivers a level of supple vocal artistry that validates those expectations while joyously seducing in the manner of a woman in love. 


The album's most affecting aspect is how ably and smoothly Gilberto's vocals swing between smoke-heavy huskiness and shiny-as-polished-brass upper register notes, bringing to bear the best of the tonal extremes at which she excels. This project marks a slight deviation from more electronica-laced sounds that have played a bigger part in some of her previous efforts and lent her works to seemingly unending chillout remixes by artists from Nuspirit Helsinki to Thievery Corporation. "All In One" does revisit some familiar territory with regard to themes, however with its profusion of playful beats and musical arrangements rendered with the delicacy of falling raindrops, the album succeeds in making the trip a pleasant one that listeners will be glad for having taken.
