This début release by this Venezuelan singer is a treat
author: Ernest Barteldes / Global Rhythm Magazine
This début release by this Venezuelan singer is a treat; she brings her clear bossa-nova and East Coast jazz influence to songs in English, Portuguese and Spanish in a blend of originals and covers that sound seamless and smooth to the ear. Muci’s “Keep On Dreaming” features the beautiful acoustic guitar of José Antonio Daltro, which serves as the perfect background to her clear, soft voice. The classic jazz number “Baubles, Bangles And Beads” appears here in bossa form in an arrangement that somewhat resembles the treatment given to the same song by Jobim and Sinatra in their 1967 collaboration. Listen to her take on Jobim’s “Chovendo Na Roseira”(sung in Portuguese), which is delivered with such passion that the singer is almost able to claim the song as her own. The album has distribution from Sony in Latin America only, but is available to U.S. customers through cdbaby.com

Wonderful intimate music with a truly talented singer
author: Michael Embley
Clever choice of covers and catchy original work combined with intelligent and most importantly, innovative arrangements got me into the CD on the first couple of times through. However as time goes by it is the intimate, mellow quality of the voice that will really have you hooked and coming back for more. My only minor dislike was the song Venezuela but I guess for a Venezuelan artist that is OK. Otherwise a genuinely wonderful CD, listen with a close friend...

Beautiful intimate music
author: Michael Embley
This CD contains some wonderful music with clever and original arrangements of standards in addition to some enchanting original works. However the real beauty lies in the delivery of the vocals, powerful yet playful, universal yet intimate. Wonderful music to share with a friend.
