Tanto Tempo
Bebel Gilberto
Chill waiting room music. Very laid back. I'm assuming Spanish? But some inflections sound different. UPDATE: It's bossa nova and she's based in Brazil. So Portuguese. Makes sense. Mixed English phrases in there as well. Very relaxing and good for background work music.

So far it's decently mid across both days. Can't say I was too impressed with this album. Maybe it just hasn't aged well over the last 50 years but it wasn't hitting.

Some big band afrobeat. Not bad, but still feels like background music.

What a palate cleanser after 5 straight days of 0 vocals. A classic.

Concert albums aren’t really my thing but otherwise a solid album.

Repetitive Elvis knockoff sound. Tough hour to get through.

Some okay background noise, but every song going around 7 minutes each makes sure that they all overstay their welcome.

The 12 minute opener really lowered my expectations for the rest of the album, so when Relax came on, I was pleasantly surprised.

I still think Lazaretto is the better Jack White album and I’ll die on that hill. Freedom at 21 and I’m shaking still bang

Honestly not a fan. If I was at a cookout on the 4th of July, this might carry more weight.

Easy listen. Nice and soft. Powerful vocals and you can really tell how much she influenced modern pop sound.

Too sober to listen to this. The beats are rough in most songs and the last 2 minutes of Where Do I Begin are just trash.
