The fourth track is a gentle interpretation of &All My Loving,& which is followed by an absolutely great version of &In My Life.& The ninth track, &I Want to Hold Your Hand,& has been given a distinct touch of forro, with the genre's indispensable accordion and all. The general style of the album is a rather gentle, bossa nova-inspired way of performing, but the opening track is a very upbeat bossa rock version of &A Hard Days Night.& The third track, a version of &If I Fell,& is performed in a modern bossa nova style. The Brazilian style that has been added to the songs (some more than others) doesn't at any point sound forced or out of place, and the arrangements and production by Roberto de Carvalho are both superb. Perhaps the most impressive and surprising thing with this album is that Rita Lee actually succeeds in making these old Beatles songs, some of which have been played almost to death over the years, sound fresh, interesting, and new. On this album Rita Lee, in a very personal and inventive way, interprets 11 songs by the Beatles, her teenage idols.
