She looks like Brazilian cutest, but sings like a goddess


Céu is a singer that when you see it on the cover of the cd you are in love inmidiately , so sexy and cutest brazilian, so i was trying to imagine how this girl sound like.

A 24 year old singer with a original name Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças,her career is going places, this album is a mix of jazzy songs, some very energetic rythms and purer brazilian music with taste for the experimental, using diferent layers in sounds. i was very impressed.

When i start listening, i get the picture of Lilian Vieira from Zuco 103, a soft brazilian voice, but this time CéU is a little bit diferent, why? she deliver different shapes for her music, having a DJ in the background using the sound of the water in the first track and doing scratch with that! , well, that's something!, that track is called
"Vinheta Qhebrante". The album under the same name was launched by the record label Six Degrees on April 3rd and goes from a very soft jazz, with trip hop that can be compared as a brazilian Tracy Torn, also have a Bob Marley's Cover "Concrete Jungle" which shows how Céu is capable to do, everything.
She mention in her space that one of her influence is Massive Attack and defently when you hear it you understand what is she talking about.

Lucky for us CéU will be playing on April 9 and 10 on Joe's Pub in NYC, so after that show i will give you a full review of her live performance.
