Tim Maia 1973 (vinyl LP)

The fourth studio album from legendary singer and composer Tim Maia is a masterpiece of soulful pop and contemporary Brazilian styles, exemplified by the hit "Gostavo Tanto De Voce" and the gorgeous English-language "Over Again", a gem of sunshine soul. The influence of Menphis is evident in the Booker T-esque instrumental "Amores" and the swamp funk of "Do Your Thing, Behave Yourself" and "Balanço", while the timeless classic "Réu Confesso" showcases Maia's songwriting skills in a samba-soul standard.
