Review title: Not one of Maysa's better records.
Product review: Wow! Surpised at all the 5 star reviews! There isn't a cut on this CD that is as good as the original version. I love listening to Maysa, and have all her solo albums as well as the Incognito albums. This one is just fair, mostly because the songs, while good, are not given the extra life or energy required to justify a remake. Maysa shows up, but I was waiting for that one song where she would break out, like she does on so many of her better cuts. The backing band, is just OK, and sounds mostly electronic. Betcha by Golly Wow is an example of a song that plodded along without coming to life. And the Roberta Flack masterpiece at the end, remains Roberta's. Still, not a bad CD. Will keep buying Maysa's work because she is a great soul singer, but this one sounds more like something you'd hear from a band in a cruise ship lounge.
