Album Description
2007 release, the third album from the undisputed Queen of new Brazilian music. Bebel is the multi-talented daughter of Brazilian legend Joao Gilberto who has created her own musical path while also embracing her past. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, London and New York. Momento features titles penned by Bebel, producer Guy Sigsworth (known for his collaborations with Bjork and as being a former member of Bomb The Bass) and The Brazilian Girls. Momento's sound is perfectly poised between the crystalline, Electronic simplicity of her debut album Tanto Tempo and the acoustic sophistication of her second, self-titled opus. V2. 2007.

Three discs into her acclaimed solo career, it's a no-brainer that the Brazilian pop charms of Bebel Gilberto will conjure a slew of beach-inspired adjectives. "Refreshing," "wind-swept" and "sun-kissed" spring to mind. Momento continues Gilberto's trend of crafting sultry scenes of afternoon delight via tunes that both adhere to traditions and sound ultra-modern. But she also mixes things up a bit in the process. Gilberto's sensual delivery--featured here in English and in Portuguese--hovers in and around each song, more an extension of the rhythms than the showpiece. Make no mistake, though: Gilberto's vocal work is a thing of beauty. She again blends bossa nova, samba, pop and electronica flourishes, but no one genre overpowers any other. Liliting guitars give way to pulsing percussion and horns, which crash against loops and samples. Gilberto coos amid the catchy club flavor of "Bring Back the Love," and the moonlit "Close to You" recalls Sade. The daughter of Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto even tackles Cole Porter's "Night and Day," recasting it as a hushed moment of bossa loveliness. And the title track is a collage of sonic secrets and memories. Perfect for a patio brunch--or an evening under the stars. --Joey Guerra

Bebel up to date still remains my favorite female artist. She continues to do what she does best in this album and that's make deep and sensual music. Though personally this isn't my favorite album that she's made, however the songs Momento, Close to you, Azul, and Cade Voce in my opinion are more of the rare gems Bebel has added to her already popular arsenal of great Bossa Nova music. Any true fan of hers would be satisfied with her overall performance of this album. Keep it up Bebel!!!!!

Buen disco, sin embargo ha perdido mucho desde el disco Tanto tiempo. Sin embargo los fanaticos deben esperar musica muy suave , con muchos riffs electronicos. Bebel sin embargo sigue brindandonos su amor y su musica a todos quienes la admiramos
Slightly less wonderful than her previous works, but well worth getting, just the same. October 12, 2007

This is another fine effort by Bebel, and the music is , for the most part, wonderful. I just wish she would stick to what she does best - her acoustic side. The songs on this album that have "club" beats just cannot compare, in my opinion, to her minimalist efforts that showcase her amazing vocal talent. Her version of Cole Porter's "Night and Day", will always be up there among her very best! Maybe not as perfect as her previous two offereings, but an essential part of her musical library, just the same.
ESTE DISCO ME RECUERDA TANTO A BRAZIL... August 10, 2007

Excelente para todo amante de la samba y esos sabrosos ritmos de la costa de Rio de Janeiro, esta es la pura musica brasilera, cantada en el mas puro portugues y que a mi en lo personal, me relaja muchisimo y me transporta a un clima tropical, a una playa relajada y sobre todo esa tremenda nostalgia que produce este tipo de musica; por cierto, me recuerda mucho a Sergio Mendes y Brazil'66; Bebel Gilberto nos da un album verdaderamente introspectivo, donde plasma lo mejor de su sentimiento y sus raices cariocas, para mi uno de sus mejores trabajos como cantante... y compositora!!! (si ven los creditos, ella colabora mucho en casi todas las melodias); un album muy exquisito y con ese sabor a sal, arena, playa, palmeras y calor humano que solo bebel nos pudo dar.
