In spite of her │ │local success, she knew she had to leave her small town │ │provincial life and move to the big city lights of Rio, there │ │she had her first break recording an album of Cazuza songs │ │with famed producer RICARDO LEAL. │ │Her first composition was 'Casticais', that IVE wrote and │ │performed specially for the First Festival of Music in Rio. Her │ │performance was a revelation, and the media interest was │ │such that it prompted TV Globo to commission her to write │ │and perform a song for a Novela (Soap opera). She performed │ │this all over Rio at the time. Then BMG Brazil signed her for │ │various singles. Whilst on holiday in London IVE met a singer │ │who was working with legendary producer ROBIN MILLAR. │ │IVE was introduced and a musical chemistry worked its magic │ │as together they reworked 'Casticais' into 'Night Night'. Then │ │IVE hooked up with a small UK record company specialising │ │in Brazilian crossover music. She played this new version of │ │'Casticais' to the Mr Bongo team and everyone in the office │ │couldn't believe the quality of her honest heartfelt singing. She │ │sung from the heart of her Brazilian soul bravely barring her │ │innermost emotions to the world. Then in March 2001 the │ │recording of her debut album began at Intimate Studios, London. │ │A musical journey with ROBIN where he helped her discover │ │her true voice resulting in her current album 'Ive Mendes' to │ │be released in mid october 2002. 'Ive Mendes' is an album │ │that shows how immensly talented this Brasilian singer is. │ │Wonderful laidback tunes with great arrangements and │ │IVE's beautiful voice make this album an outstanding one, │ │even compared to classic Brasilian albums." -- www.efa-medien.de │ │ │ │This one is a winner. A sublime set of soul with the brazilian twist. │ │Greets to Rudy and Spara. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Tracklisting [ 48:58 min / 67,3 Mbs ] │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │01 natural high 04:19 │ │02 blessed love 05:23 │ │03 vou fugir 05:16 │ │04 night night 04:22 │ │05 another way 05:27 │ │06 a beira mar 05:14 │ │07 afternoon 05:59 │ │08 voce 03:51 │ │09 lua 04:44 │ │10 casticais 04:23 │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Another great release from mighty SMC !
