The Artistry of… Bebel Gilberto

If emotions sang, they would sound like Bebel Gilberto.

Bare, raw, sweet, sensual, intoxicating, captivating, arresting, and alluring — like a look you know was meant for you. Seduction… innocent, and not so innocent. Playful and gently persuasive. The answer to every note she sings, if every note was a question, must be yes. There is a smile in her voice, some teasing and so much genuine honesty.

The phrase “acoustic lounge style” is part of her website, and it captures her essence perfectly. Beautiful, infectious personality.

If emotions sang, they would sound like Bebel Gilberto.


The Artistry of… is a weekly series that reflects on the passion and essence of an artist. It airs Wednesday evenings on Dinner Jazz with John Devenish.
