Q (9/02, p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Classy, benign songs..."
CMJ (1/08/01, p.49) - Included in CMJ's "Year's New World Albums" from 2000.
Down Beat (11/00, pp.67-8) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...She shows that what made her father's movement such a success was its fresh view of the world....Her own tunes embrace samba, trip-hop dance and electronica beats....with Bebel breathing irresistibly above the lines..."
JazzTimes (8/00, p.87) - "...Part sentimental, part experimental, almost entirely satisfying....sprinkling on mild kitsch sauce, savory pop qualities [and] winking nods to the techno generation..."
Mojo (Publisher) (1/03, p.75) - Ranked #8 in Mojo's "Best World Albums of 2002"
Mojo (Publisher) (8/00, p.110) - "...The epitome of cool..."

Bebel Gilberto was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist. TANTO TEMPO was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Musica Popular Brasileira Album.

Bebel Gilberto is the daughter of Brazilian singer/guitarist Joao Gilberto. TANTO TEMPO, her debut release, brings a contemporary sheen to classic bossa novas. Acoustic accompaniment predominates, with the addition of occasional electronica, making this collection a perfect reflection of the late-20th century two-way street between traditional Brazilian bossa nova and the American producers who covet its easy, sexy sound.

Gilberto's voice is assured and steady. As with other South American singers gaining attention in the States, such as Peru's Susana Baca, she's a model of restrained passion, her phrasing subtly and sensuously caressing her music. Gilberto sings mostly in Portuguese, but performs a few songs in English, such as the dreamy "August Day Song." "Lonely" finds her paired with Washington D.C. downtempo producers Thievery Corporation, while the classic "So Nice" is still the perfect airy, breezy hammock song. TANTO TEMPO is highly recommended for aficionados of both classic and modern Brazilian pop.
