4 and 1/2 stars (out of 5).
WOW. Absolute rave for everything on it, exceptions being only "The Frog" (awww, one of my faves!) and "Let Me" (OK, I agree with the reviewer on this one).
"Now, Mendes is sure to bumrush the charts one more time with this jaw-dropping set produced by the Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am who, while thoroughly understanding how to walk the thin line between art and pop, is the perfect person for the job. Rap, R&B, jazz and contemporary pop merge seamlessly with Sergio's international sensibilities for scintillating tracks that will not be denied. Pristine production shines on every track - even the ones that are pure bossa nova....Tracks with the most radio promise are the title track featuring India.Arie and the socially aware transatlantic-hit-in-the-making "Loose Ends" featuring a soulful Justin Timberlake, along with Pharoahe Monch and Will.I.Am....There is no way you can come away from this album feeling down, the sunshine of Brazilian music blends with the grimey earthiness of true hip-hop, pop and jazz to create an unforgettable experience. Cop."
