Gabriela Anders - Wanting [CD]

Buenos Aires-born Gabriela Anders makes her debut with an album that introduces one of the most exciting new vocalists to emerge this year. Combining the exotic, jazzy approach of Sade or Basia with a host of Latin influences, Wanting features a wide variety of textures - from the soulful ballad "Forever" (a duet with Eric Benet) to Gabriela's own distinctly smoldering take on "The Girl from Ipanema." Guests on the recording include Boney James, Kirk Whalum and George Duke.
