Albums like this are one my favourite things about this list. There is a very low chance I would have ever listened to this otherwise and I am not sure how long it would have took me to start listening to Bossa nova. That being said it doesn't mean I love these albums. It is an easy listen an interesting listen but it is not a great album. Another thing where I would rather just listen to a Bossa nova playlist instead of the 12 songs on this album. Some of the songs stand out but come the end of the album you realise that is mainly sounds the same and I would rather have heard just the best ones. I think it is a nice album and I don;t enjoy rating these albums low but I just don't think it has held up in time. The production is not too clear and from I know of Bossa nova this isn't exactly anything ground breaking so although it is a nice easy listen it isn't an ideal album. Fell bad but it is only 2/5.
