CéU

Vagarosa

"Vagarosa" is the highly anticipated new studio offering from the young, beautiful and talented singer/songwriter Céu after her acclaimed 2005 sef-titled debut album.
It's certainly worth the wait.
Céu - real name Maria do Ceu Whitaker Pocas, it means "sky" in Portuguese and is pronounced "sell" - possesses a strikingly pure voice, and her tastes are unfailingly eclectic.
Her voice is not only beautiful, it's also brilliantly flexible. She sounds as self-assured and poised as you'd expect from an independent musician from São Paulo.
On her new album she mostly sticks to the style and grooves that made her famous as the most interesting singer to come out of Brazil since astrud Glberto and Bebel Gilberto.
Electro influences are discreetly scattered around, a dash of reggae (check the track "Cangote") is there also.
She takes the São Paulo sound into after-hours territory, framing and multi-tracking her fragile, silky-smooth yet punchy and sexy voice with space-warped reggae beats, DJ
