Pato Fu's Fernanda Takai has chosen to fill big shoes on her first solo outing: she covers iconic songs associated with bossa nova muse Nara Leao. These rock 'n' roll-brushed interpretations prove she can distinguish herself. Yet despite the perfect song choices, Takai's great voice and the impeccable arrangements -- or perhaps because of them -- the spark is missing from the first half of the album. With "Odeon" the music finally begins to sparkle; by "Seja o Meu Ceu" Takai's having fun, flirting over her shoulder and owning the material, and the album becomes the joy it's meant to be.
