Taste the new sound of Bossa Nova

Sitti, whose name means princess in the Muslim dialect, is truly worthy to be Bossa-Manila’s new “IT” girl. Her relaxed singing style and soothing voice lingers above the complex harmonies of jazz and samba influenced Brazilian genre, effortlessly gelling lyrics and music together. Her eyes light up when she talks about Bossa Nova. “What I really like best about bossa nova is that the lyrics, message and music is profound. Even if its melancholic at times, it’s still easy on the ears.

Sitti got the biggest break in her singing career in when Warner Music Philippines decided to cut her solo album, Café Bossa, that is now available at all music retail shops. The album is currently number one at O Music & Video in Rockwell.

Café Bossa contains 18 tracks of contemporary songs and pop, jazz standards sung in Sitti’s cool, bossa style. Its carrier single, “Tattooed On My Mind,” a cover of D’ Sound, is already receiving good airplay on radio. Her versions of Everything But The Girl’s “I Didn’t Know I Was Looking For Love” and Michael Franks’ “Lady Wants To Know” are two other outstanding cuts in the album.

Sitti also does impressive and bouncy takes on OPM bossa legend, Bong Penera’s “Samba Song,” Jobim’s “One Note Samba,” Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me To The Moon,” and Sergio Mendes’ “Mas Que Nada”. Two more favorites in the CD repertoire include the jazzy, upbeat melding of “Close To You/Half A Minute” and the Emil Pama original “Para Sa Akin.”

Café Bossa is indeed a cup of chill in 18 choice cuts. It’s a must-hear album of laid back tunes done in the warm sounds of OPM’s bossa nova’. Café Bossa is available under Warner Music Philippines.
