Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
A strong, wide-ranging vocal set whose carefully arranged international repertoire loses some momentum as the closing sequence settles into quieter standards.
What we noticed
- Portuguese-language Brazilian songs sit beside English standards such as “A Time for Love” and “Watch What Happens,” giving the set a deliberately international repertoire.
- After the brisker early songs, “Wave,” “How Insensitive” and “O barquinho” form a late stretch of quieter, bossa-oriented material.
- Elis’s voice remains the focal point while polished orchestral backing gives the arrangements a more formal frame than a small-combo bossa setting.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
