(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ivan is by far the best Brazilian Songwriter since Tom Jobim, and this master piece from 1995 proves it.

1. Anjo de Mim / Covered by Sergio Mendes and Simone in 1996.

2. Menino +-

3. Saudades de Casa /is a great ballad.

4. Pra Alegrar Coracao de Moca / was a great hit then and it's among his best compositions ever (as well as performances).

5. E de Deus / the New York Voices covered it under the title:

Answered Prayers in Lins' tribute of 2000.

6. Lembra de Mim / Is perhaps the most commercialized song of the album and belongs in the same category as Daquilo Que Eu Sei / Comecar de Novo / Velas, etc. etc.

7. Camaleao / This is a new version of his 1993 hit, that Ivan and Dionne Warwick popularized in 2 diffrent versions; this one is the Portuguese one.

8. Te Amo / great lyrics.

9. Desde Que o Samba e Samba / Ivan does a great cover on this gem by Caetano Veloso.

10. Noturna / a very strong and romantic song.

etc. etc.

If you collect Ivan's music, get this one at once, it's just an ongoing fountain of inspiration with innovative songs back then and classic songs now."
