Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Third album by the critically acclaimed group expands on their signature, multi-lingual sound while paying respect to their international roots and the city where they got their start. The album also features renowned Senagalese musician Baaba Maal as a guest vocalist on 'Internacional,' and Kenny Wollesen and The Himalayas on multiple tracks.
'...the band's reputation as an energetic live act has set the table for a possible crossover to the mainstream...in the tradition of other left-of-center, genre-bending acts from New York such as Dee-Lite or the Talking Heads.' -Los ngeles Times '...unceasingly irresistible' - Entertainment Weekly
Produced by Hector Castillo and Brazilian Girls

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Too loose, too everything-at-once
After a first record that hit all the right spots and a sophomore effort that did not, this third offering is somewhere between "alright" and "okay". It's more experimental, but not in all the right directions. Too loose, too everything-at-once. Not as sure-footed. A few tracks work, but this mostly comes off as mish-mash of noodlings.
Rating:  - Good not great and best for already established fans
This the third Brazilian Girls CD is another evolution for them - just as much as Jique was compared to their Brazilian Girls debut album. Words and music have gone from dreamy/introspective and infused with sex (debut), to edgy/political (Jique) to, in this case, verging on obscure. Established BG fans like me will keep listening to it, and it does grow on you - but not without effort. If you have had someone say to you, "Brazilian Girls are great - check them out", I'd strongly recommend that ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed.
First let me say: the first two Brazilian Girls albums are incredible. I have listened to them more than any other two albums I own over the last couple of years. This one is a lot different, mainly because it lacks the rhythmic bass lines and instead adds some sort of tribal-sounding drums. Also, there seems to be less creativity in the song structure and certainly the lyrics are less interesting. I did not look to see who writes the lyrics, but for whatever reason there is certainly a down-turn since ... Read More
Rating: - First BG album for me - won't get another
With all the great reviews, I was highly looking forward to this album. I was sorely disappointed. The album starts off solid, but really, there's only a few songs on here I would recommend: St Petersburg, L'Interprete, I Want Out, and maybe Mano De Dios and Losing Myself.
I just find this album all over the place and not coherent. All of my car companions were bored listening to this and wanted to skip many of the tracks. Maybe their other stuff is better, but if this is your first ... Read More
Rating: - Cool mix of oldschool and modern electronica
Good album overall, some of the tracks are forgettable, but some you will be singing in your head for days. :)
