Basia's tantalizing Brazilian breeze and "Basia-nova" is a sheer
delight to listen to. She keeps the same sweet infectiousness
which made her debut Time and Tide a platinum stroke of genius.
This time she's infused '60s soul and some heartfelt, sparkling
ballads, like "Brave New Hope." Her voice is distinctive and
lilting, her lyrics interesting, and her production frisky,
employing such oddities as accordion and bass sax. Other top
cuts include "Best Friends" and a rousing cover of "Until You
Come Back to Me." Her disappearance from regular recordings
after the mid-'90s (she made a few guest appearances on
instrumental albums) was a great loss for adult contemporary
music. Jonathan Widran, Rovi  Track Listing    1. Cruising for
