Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The soundtrack from Woman on Top, starring Madrid-born bombshell Penelope Cruz as the beauty and brains behind a popular cooking show, is the perfect introduction to the Brazilian sound--and just might live up to the label's promise that it's 'destined to bring Bossa Nova music to the world' (though bossa nova has long been popular in the West, albeit in specialized circles). The highly listenable album features contemporary Brazilian artists such as singer-songwriter Lenine; pop-rocker and Joao Gilberto sound-alike Paulinho Moska; and the three-DJ collective Bossa Cuca Nova putting a new spin on a classic Geraldo Pereira tune. It also includes gems such as Maria Creuza and her delicately wavering voice, and guitarist Dori Caymmi performing one of his father's songs. Mellow yet upbeat, it's relaxation music that won't put you to sleep. --Jamie FitzGerald

Rating: - * 3.5 stars if I could ... Good music, easy to listen to a few times but not over and over like some of the pagode, more Bossa Nova. Rating: - * Woman on Top CD Review ... I just saw the movie "Woman on Top" and it was a wonderful, sexy movie. I loved the music so much, I purchased the CD. Love listening to it. Rating: - * No This Isn't a Porn Movie ... Just a great slice of Brazil. First time I heard this, was at a restaurant in winter in Alaska (of all places). The music just seemed to warm the room. Didn't quite take me away to those sugar sand beaches, but yet.. the gentle samba and jazz with a hint of sexiness hit the spot. So much so that I had to hound the waitress to know what music was playing. It's a great collection for anytime you wanna feel that feeling. You know, the one that says, "life is really pretty cool, you just gotta flow with it". Rating: - * Just perfect ... For that special occassion with that special person there is nothing that can beat this CD Rating: - * Sexy and Mellow Brazilian Musical CD...Lovely! ... I saw the movie "Woman on Top" recently and just LOVED the music in the movie, along with the movie itself.... Therefore, I immediately bought the CD, to recapture the romantic mood of the movie. Well, I was not disappointed in the CD at all. It is quite mellow and sexy at the same time---just like the movie. For those that have not seen the movie, I would describe it as a "Fantasy Romance" movie. The music fits the style of the movie beautifully. This CD can be enjoyed while cooking any meal, & with a good glass of fine wine in hand. Get ready to sway to the soft Brazilian sounds! This CD will sound better and better , the more times you play it! That's the effect it has had on me.
