Excelente 6º disco de la cantante fluminense (Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro) residente en USA desde 1980.

"The voice is back. Kenia, who single-handedly defined the essence of heavenly, pop accented Brazilian jazz in the 1980s and '90s, returns with an album that surpasses all expectations. With the release of Simply Kenia, the singer confidently reasserts her position as one of the reigning queens of Brazilian music. Simply Kenia is a captivating blend of venerable choro works, samba and bossa nova-accented tracks that represent the best of the contemporary MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) tradition, and handpicked favorites from the American ballad songbook. There's little doubt that it all adds up to the most well-rounded and stylistically authentic album of Kenia's career. Simply Kenia features 15 tracks that are custom tailored for Kenia's trademark seductive style, amber-toned voice and impeccable phrasing. Reflecting her affection for Brazil's best tunesmiths, the singer includes works by such renowned composers as Jair De Oliveira, Gilson Peranzzetta and João Bosco. She transforms Djavan's "Aviao" into "Being Cool," with English lyrics by Lorraine Feather. Her take on two timeless North American standards, Willie Nelson's "Crazy" and Matt Dennis' immortal "Angel Eyes," defines romantic balladry at its most sensuous. As a special bonus, "Crazy" is rendered in English, Portuguese and Spanish versions. The album is also noteworthy as Kenia's first foray as a vocalist into the world of choro, an elemental, pre-samba Brazilian style that was the rage in Rio in the early 20th Century and has recently undergone a long overdue renaissance.", Mark Holston (Jazziz Magazine)
