Thievery Corporation – “Suadade” (ESL Music) With the group’s large genre-crossing discography, the D.C. duo Thievery Corporation is back again with a tribute to a long tradition of Bossa Nova music. “Suadade” features haunting, mind-enveloping vocals that transport the listener to a smoky, dimly lit lounge. The gentle guitars and thoughtful percussive elements to each of the tracks display how much care the artists put into this collection. Beginning with the gentle sway of “Decollage,” and ending with the jazzy “Depth of My Soul,” “Suadade’s” musical progression is meaningful, even if you do not speak Portuguese, the most prevalent language in the album. Thievery Corporation has been able to express many different styles and ideas through their discography, and this release is no exception. -Jack Fitzpatrick RIYL: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Sade, Etta James Recommended tracks: 1, 2, 9, 13
