The phenomenon of legendary older musicians working with younger contemporary artists to broaden artistic and commercial possibilities had almost become its own genre by the mid-2000s. Sergio Mendes's 2006 release TIMELESS keeps that trend alive and kicking. In a full-scale collaboration with Black Eyed Peas, Mendes updates the Brazilian pop he mastered in the 1960s by infusing it with R&B and hip-hop.

The synthesis should come as no surprise. Amid the reggaeton craze of the 2000s, who better to lay down Latin-flavored tracks for MCs than Mr. Brazil 66 himself? But the real clincher here is the roster of guest stars which includes Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, the Roots, and the aforementioned Black Eyed Peas, among many others. The odd, yet surprisingly successful combos (Timberlake and underground MC Pharoahe Monch anyone?) mix Mendes's bossa nova and samba with equal doses mainstream pop, funky soul, and hard-edged rap, revealing the polymorphous possibilities in the master's sound, and creating an album that is certainly timely, if not timeless.Rolling Stone (p.68) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album relaxes halfway through with lush, newly written ballads....When TIMELESS succeeds, it's beautiful, boundary-breaking music."
Entertainment Weekly (p.64) - "[This] set of gentle samba-jazz-rap is a pleasant surprise..." -- Grade: B
JazzTimes (p.78) - "[I]t is Mendes who is the album's backbone -- his piano work forming the solid centerline that assuredly, passionately defines every joyous bump, crevice and curve."

5 stars It's Hott!!!
First off I'm not a lover of rap but the collabos on this cd are hott!! I can't take this cd out of my laptop at work. It makes my very long day much easier and more fun. Love all the tracks with the acception of John Legend's. I'm just not feeling this young singer at all but other than that this cd is a must have. I can't get enough of it!! I love to sing along even though I don't know the Portuguese I say it phonetically.

4 stars Confused ?
I HATE, ABSOLUTELY HATE, Rap music ! So after my first play of TIMELESS I was totally confused and felt I had poured dollars down the drain. Persistance is everything, and after a couple more plays my confusion lessened and I started to appreciate that SM and guests had put together something rather inspired and unique. The meeting of Brazilian and Rap music did not sound particularly compatable. But, of course, I was wrong...again ! Final thought...I like it. Money well spent.

2 stars Mas Que Nada w/ black eyed peas -Excellant
I've seen Sergio live over the past 35 years and always really enjoyed his show in fact I just seen him at the blue note recently-excellant!. This Cd was a disappointment for me. I was expecting more well knonw songs. Except for Mas Que Nada w/ black eyed peas (which is worth the price of the cd alone & should become a hit because it uses the pretty much the same music as Hey Mama. I'm a mobile DJ & I used it this weekend at a wedding & they loved it. I think they just picked the wrong songs to use for this project. They could of done better.

Timeless
CD $13.79  4.7 stars Audio Samples
On his first studio album since 1995's CONVERSATION PIECE, R&B legend Stevie Wonder revisits familiar ground from earlier eras in his career while keeping with contemporary pop sounds. Although certain tracks conjure up the vibe of early Wonder outings (the funky "Please Don't Hurt My Baby" and the sunny, upbeat "Positivity," which features additional vocals by his daughter Aisha Morris), other tunes (the smooth "From the Bottom of My Heart" and the romantic "Passionate Raindrops") recall his more polished '80s period. A TIME 2 LOVE is bookended by two of its strongest songs--"If Your Love Cannot Be Moved," an urgent duet with gospel singer Kim Burrell, and the potent title track, which features ...

Philadelphia singer songwriter Birdie Busch's voice recalls a younger, more innocent Karen Dalton on a set of breezy, pastel-shaded, acoustic songs that charmingly convey the joy and pain of negotiating the path from adolescence to adulthood. "Room in the City" is a warm, bittersweet romance, while the catchy "South Philly" conjures both the uncertainty and optimism of a newcomer ...
