Bianca Rossini - Meu Amor

'What a treat to be entertained by the sultry and alluring voice of Bianca Rossini once again. Her new CD 'Meu Amor' is a continuation of the beguiling sound that we experienced with her last outing. So, as that one was a 'Kiss of Brasil,' 'Meu Amor' is the embrace. You feel the subtle excitement of romantic nights in a Brazilian breeze. 'Meu Amor' listen and enjoy. - Malvin Massey Jr. - General Manager - WUMR U92 FM - 'The Jazz Lover' 'Meu Amor' Song list and credits: 1.

'Kiss of Brasil' has been on the top charts of CD Baby's Bossa Nova, Brazilian Jazz and Latin categories for several months, and is featured on Pandora Radio (80 million listeners) in high rotation on top Bossa Nova channels including Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bebel Gilberto, Nara Leão, and The Bianca Rossini Channel. Bianca sings mostly in Portuguese, which makes 'Kiss of Brasil's' diverse popularity in the U.S. quite rare. 'Bianca's Album 'Kiss of Brasil' has been featured in more than 80 Jazz Stations in the US. It's extraordinary, that not only is 'Kiss of Brasil' Bianca's debut album, but she is singing in Portuguese and making a huge impact in the predominantly English-speaking U.S. market - generally unheard of for a foreign laguage album,' said Jason Gorov, President of Gorov Music Marketing (Sade, Dave Koz, Beyonce), a leading Smooth Jazz promotion company based in Las Vegas, NV. Gorov added, ''Kiss of Brasil' is being featured at radio stations throughout the U.S, and like Memphis' WUMR U92 FM, KQXT/San Antonio, TX and KJZY/Santa Rosa, CA-where they've played every track of 'Kiss of Brasil' as featured best Jazz Album of the Week. Many other U.S. stations have done special features on 'Kiss of Brasil' like KBCS 91.3FM, Bellevue, WA. 'Kiss of Brasil' has been featured best Jazz Album of the Week in more than 20 radio stations internationally including JazzNet247.com in Austria, ES RTVE Radio3/Madrid, Spain, Best Smooth Jazz/London, England, also stations in Brasil and Portugal. The popularity of Bianca's 'Kiss of Brasil' is not surprising since Bianca's vocals and melodies are highly addictive and she takes listeners on such a beautiful journey.' 'I listen to Bianca's 'Kiss of Brasil' every day!' said Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter and Bianca Rossini fan Jimmy Webb ('By the Time I Get to Phoenix,' 'Wichita Lineman,' 'Galveston'). Given how quickly 'Kiss of Brasil' has been accepted into the daily playlists of Jazz stations across the country, Bianca's unique style is starting to take hold as a front-runner in the Cool Jazz/Bossa Nova movement in the U.S. as the 'Mais Nova Bossa Nova' (The Newer Bossa Nova). Bianca Rossini'The Jazz Lover Family has an everlasting love for Bianca's 'Kiss of Brasil.' You can't help but be seduced by the oh-so-sexy lilt of Bianca's voice,' said Malvin Massey, Jr., General Manager of Memphis Radio Station WUMR. He continued, 'Bianca's music takes you back to the days of Jobim, Getz & Gilberto, Toquinho, and Vinicius de Moraes when Bossa Nova was king. When listening to 'No Silencio da Noite,' 'Ipanema Paraiso,' you envision being singled out and serenaded by Bianca, live and in person. It's just magical! Bianca Rossini's 'Kiss of Brasil' will live for a very long time.' Bianca's lyrical stylings in 'Kiss of Brasil' are sensual, romantic and intimate, much like her poetry in her critically acclaimed third book, Love in black and white (Nazraeli Press, 2009), in which she partnered with world-renowned photographer Michael Kenna. Bianca explained, ''Kiss of Brasil' is the result of a collaboration with a magical, all-star ensemble cast of co-writers.' Produced by Peter Roberts, Bianca's co-writers are Jazz notables: Marilyn Berglas, Harvey Mason, Peter Roberts, Ken Hirsch, Steve Rawlins and Patrick Lockwood.
