On Verde she shows off a little of everything: reaching from nearly unrecognizable covers of current pop songs by Bjork ("Bachlorette") and U2 ("One") to new renditions of Brazilian classics like "Bom Dia Tristeza." Her Brazilian sensuality comes out on the bossa nova "In My Little White Top," and she displays the dramatic flair of a flamenco singer on "Voce Nao Entendeu Nada." Whichever direction she goes, she brings a trickster-like joyfulness that comes when musical mastery is child¹s play Each wrinkle of her musical personality is simply another facet of her inner core.
