"[Purim] celebrates her 80th birthday with her first album in 15 years. With her family and favoured musicians in support, it's a celebratory affair, mixing new material and old favourites. The title track, for example, is a 1992 collaboration with the late US pianist George Duke, a piece of jazz-funk given a more Brazilian flavour this time around, with trademark vocals that shift from lyrics to wordless exaltation - Purim's daughter Diana is on hand to carry on the torch in convincing style ... A well-polished gem - welcome back".

"Drawing from her huge body of work with Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Corea, Gil Evans, Santana and more, Purim blends new material with rebooted old favorites here, applying her lush liquid harmonies and dazzling six-octave vocal acrobatics to voluptuous bossa nova reveries like "Lucidez" and the lusty tropical jazz-funk groove "This Is Me". Quality levels are high throughout, but a streamlined reworking of Corea's "500 Miles High" stands out for its splashy chromatic swerves and knotty, frenetic, almost math-rock rhythms".

"For her first studio album in 15 years, Purim combines a career spanning retrospective of tunes, formerly recorded with her favorite collaborators, with new numbers that showcase her continuing artistic growth.The singer recently celebrated her 80th birthday, but her voice remains supple and expressive".

"A stunning return".
