Editorial Reviews
The follow-up to 2001's worldwide smash 'Escape' and 2002's 'Chill Brazil' - 'Contrasts' is Marcos Valle's 21st album to date yet he sounds as fresh and relaxed as ever. Produced by Valle, Far Outs Roc Hunter and Joe Davis - the album is bursting with uplifting Bossas such as opener 'Besteiras De Amor' and 'Parabens', as well as poignant love songs like 'Nega Do Balaio' and 'Passatempo'.
"To many people, Marcos Valle IS Brazil", comments Far Outs Joe Davis. "His up-tempo Bossas personify the youthful optimism of the Brazilian people whilst his poignant ballads reflect their often overlooked melancholy". Adds Marcos: "I love sunny days at the beach but also rainy, overcast afternoons and both the upbeat and saudade (melancholic) can be felt in my music."
Containing the dancefloor smash 'Parabens', 'Contrasts' will appeal to newcomers to Brazilian music who have reached him through Bebel Gilberto as well as long-time fans. With its uplifting horns, irresistible beats, warm guitars and Marcos' sensual voice 'Contrasts' is as Brazilian as a stroll down Copacabana.
