"Brazilian Girls" is a name designed to steer you to the "wrong" sites in a Web search, and the not-so-thinly-veiled innuendo (one chorus is "Pussy pussy pussy marijuana") doesn't help either. But the music the Brazilian Girls make is more seductive than salacious. And except for one member, they aren't girls. The one who is, Italian-born Sabina Sciubba, is a former jazz singer who has the hipper-than-thou chanteuse thing going: a cigarette dangling from her lips, a beret cocked sideways on her head, black-stockinged legs crossed suggestively... at least she sure sounds that way. Sciubba sits astride basslines that insinuate themselves like a sideways glance in a smoky bar, as a sensual mix of live drumming and gritty trip-hop lounge grooves skew to the side of late-night alcohol-clouded vision. The English, French, Spanish, and German-language lyrics and Weill/Brecht-meets-Baja Marimba Band horns only add to the delirious dislocation. With a sophisticated electronic palette, Brazilian Girls exude that hip retro-future sound that propelled Deee-Lite back in 1990. Hopefully they won't also be one-hit wonders. --John Diliberto

Hey, despite what the Editor here at Amazon.com wrote...Dee lite' like, I doubt it!
Sabina is not a has been, nor does she have that same attitude that deluded Dee lite's lead singer!She is down to earth, friendly and not full of herself!
That is the difference between the two and I detest that she was even compared to her!
Sabina is amazing in that she can sing in four to five languages...just saw her and the band at the Apple store in NYC and no pretense. ... Read More

I love this CD.I've had it a few years and still listen to it regularly.There's a sexy European female lead, and a ska-ish, rock-ish, lounge-ish, band.Every song sounds different, and some of the songs are really fun for parties.Every time I play them people wanna know who it is.I can't think of another band they are like...
Rating: - I thought they were girls
This band rocks the house. Exotic, but not too exotic. Electronica, but not too electronica; great, great, great. What can I say? I say that I think that this is a great album by the great unknown Brazilian Girls, who are not all girls; I think there's only one...girl, that is.
Rating: - Love them, love the album!
Love them, love them, love them. Get this!
Soooo much better than the junk out there posing as music. Pop stars suck.
BG are awesome!
Rating: - Very enjoyable
Calm, nice slow mood. Great to use to get some girls in 'the mood'. I've tried it, recommended.
