Press
“Elias sings with a slight Portuguese accent … comparisons to Astrud Gilberto are inevitable. But Elias’ voice is richer, more emotionally resonant, and is absolutely beguiling.”
““Eliane Elias’ return to the Blue Note label after a decade working elsewhere (Something For You) is a triumph!””
“"Something for You is not only a heartfelt and pitch-perfect tribute to Evans, but also a personal triumph for Elias, one of the strongest albums of her career… sultry, suede-smooth vocals…"”
“Brazilian pianist/vocalist Eliane Elias returns to Blue Note after a seven-year hiatus with this wonderful tribute to Bill Evans… the variety of interpretive approaches assayed by Elias and her collaborators is, in itself, a highlight. Some are terrific trio instrumental, such as “You and the Night and the Music,” “Five” and “Blue in Green.” while solo efforts “I Love My Wife” and “For Nenette” highlight Elias’ keyboard virtuosity.”
