Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As you might expect, Timeless isn’t your parents’ Sergio Mendes. Take "Mais Que Nada," the opener from that topselling staple of post-60s, post-bossa, near-kitsch Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66: Greatest Hits. Here it’s no simple, slinky groove. The Black-Eyed Peas are along for the bumpin’ ride. What it amounts to is the same intercultural collision that happened when bossa nova met jazz and pop via Stan Getz’s tenor sax, except here the meeting is between the lounge and, presumably, the street. John Legend and India.Arie keep the session on a downtempo, neo Brazilian vibe on "Please Baby Don’t" and the title track (respectively). Once those are tunes end, though, it’s back to the bump and the beats and the irresistible party vibe of the set. Don’t fret, though, as the Peas keep things light enough to trigger innocent headbobs and chilled out dance steps. Just as you might hear Timeless and agree that it ain’t your parents’ Sergio, your parents can also hear will.i.am’s and the Peas’s pivotal roles and say that it’s not their kids’ Black-Eyed Peas, either --Andrew Bartlett
CD Description
Legendary Brazilian jazzman gets a career rehabilitation album courtesy of Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas. Working with the hip-hop producer and a succession of hot young stars from the fields of rap, RnB and neo-soul - including Jill Scott, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and India.Arie - he has re-recorded many of his best-known tunes, giving them a contemporary twist and making them accessible to a younger audience who may well not be familiar with his oeuvre.
