The Shadow of Your Smile

by Astrud Gilberto

Overview

Astrud Gilberto second solo album, THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE, which at 25 minutes is one of the shortest LPs ever released. It's a good one though, as Astrud breaks free of bossa nova typecasting and emerges as a full-fledged '60s songbird, with her near definitive version of "The Shadow Of Your Smile." A special hybrid, she's neither a Brazilian nor an American singer, and not really an "international' one either. Her wistful, amateur sound has worn extremely well however--it has the virtue of simplicity and honesty as her absolutely definitive version of "Funny World" from the now forgotten Italian exploitation film MALAMONDO proves.
