Sarah Menescal - Voice Of The New Bossa Nova

MPO proudly presents The Voice of the New Bossa Nova, a stunning vinyl release by vocalist Sarah Menescal, one of the defining voices of contemporary bossa nova. With millions of global streams and a dedicated following across chillout and lounge audiences, Menescal has built a name for herself by transforming iconic pop, rock, and soul songs into delicate, sun-kissed bossa interpretations. This LP captures her unmistakable vocal warmth and the breezy sophistication of her signature style. Side A opens with a hauntingly smooth take on No Doubt's "Don't Speak," followed by her heartfelt renditions of "Time After Time," "Here Comes the Sun," and the '80s anthem "Alive and Kicking." A standout moment is her duet with producer Scubba on The Beatles' "Something," blending lush guitar textures with Sarah's intimate phrasing. The arrangements are stripped-back and acoustic, allowing the emotion of each melody to shine through while wrapped in the soft swing of bossa nova rhythms. Side B continues the journey with Sarah's rework of "Every Beat of My Heart," and a tropical-flavored version of "Ticket to Ride" with Scubba. From the soulful "Caravan of Love" to the timeless introspection of "In My Life" and the gentle longing in "Angels," this LP is both a tribute to songwriting and a showcase for Sarah Menescal's distinct artis[1]try. The Voice of the New Bossa Nova is an essential addition to any collection of vocal jazz, acoustic pop, or Brazi[1]lian-inspired music, a serene, elegant soundtrack for lovers of beautiful songs and beautiful moments.
