Review by Marcelo Molina

Ivan Lins' album Marlena is a stunning work of art that showcases the Brazilian artist's exceptional musicianship and songwriting abilities. The album is a tribute to Lins' longtime collaborator and friend, Marlena Shaw, and features a collection of songs that pay homage to her legacy.

From the opening track, "The Island," Lins' rich and soulful voice takes center stage, backed by a lush arrangement of strings and horns. The album is a seamless blend of jazz, bossa nova, and R&B, with each song showcasing Lins' versatility as a vocalist and composer.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "She Walks This Earth," a beautiful ballad that highlights Lins' poetic lyricism and nuanced harmonies. Another highlight is "The Sound of Love," a sultry and sensual duet with American jazz singer Kurt Elling.

I own this cassette and remember buying it in 1989 when it came out. The first time I heard this song was on NYC Smooth Jazz CD101.9 back in the day. The radio station has disbanded since then but it was the best music around. I really miss that station very much.
