"Recorded partly in Rio de Janeiro, Bia emerged on this album as a composer: five of the 12 tracks are by her. These include two outstanding compositions, Baby Neném and Sous le vent du monde, the latter with a very effective piano accompaniment. The mix of languages is still there, extended this time to include a track in English (Paul McCartney’s Golden Slumbers, from Abbey Road and from a Thomas Dekker poem); and one in Italian, Gianmaria Testa’s Piccoli Fiumi, from his 2000 album Il valzer di un giorno. Testa is apparently one of Bia’s heroes, as he is of mine. This is easily the best track on the album, a great song sung extremely well, and with a wonderful accordion and guitar backing that makes the most of the song’s atmosphere of gentle melancholy. There’s another version of Duino’s Complainte Africaine, heard on Bia’s first album in a very different arrangement, and I guess there’s a story about this to track down. Another outstanding track is Araurum Kim Kim, written by the prolific and multi-talented Adão Xalebaradã (who had a small part in Meirelles’ City of God, though he died only a year after the film’s release), a reminder that in Brazilian music, under the exuberance of samba and the sophistication of bossa there lies the rhythm of Africa. Jacques Higelin’s Ballade pour un matin is bracketed with Golden Slumbers in a medley that’s one of the highlights of the album. Higelin is apparently one of Bia’s influences, as he is for many other singers. This is another eclectic mix of ‘singer/songwriter’ material, bossa, samba and chanson, songs that must mean a lot to Bia, and she interprets them so they mean a lot to the listener. An album with six of the 12 tracks standing out as exceptionally good is hard to put down, and Sources remains one of my favourites." biakrieger.com
