Rose Max - Atlântico FLAC

With her recently released electro-lounge album Atlantico, Max tones down her usual soaring jazz vocals to accompany producers Robert Collado and Frank Amoros's cool synth washes and mostly laid-back drum programming. Generally it's a good fit, with Max's soothing voice and Portuguese lyrics and Ramatis Moraes's airy acoustic guitar a natural for the album's lounge format. But the producers' approach could use a dose of Max's easy, organic vibe, as their backing tracks often sound too synthetic. Highly recommended!
