Our Take

Sergio Mendes is back with a deluxe edition of his latest album, "In The Key Of Joy," and let me tell you, this is not your standard elevator music. Mendes, a master of blending traditional Brazilian rhythms with modern production techniques, has crafted a record that is as infectious as it is sophisticated. From the moment you press play, you find yourself transported to a sun-soaked beach in Rio de Janeiro, complete with caipirinhas and dancing in the sand.

The deluxe edition includes not only the original album's ten tracks, but also six bonus songs that add even more layers of joy to the mix. Standouts include the funky afrobeat-inspired "Sabor Do Rio," which features a killer horn section that will have you grooving in your seat, and the sultry bossa nova number "La Noche Entera," which showcases Mendes' smooth-as-silk vocals.

The real highlight of the album, though, is Mendes' ability to bring together a diverse group of collaborators, including John Legend, Common, and Shelea, who each bring their own unique flair to the music. The result is a record that is as international as it is timeless, a true testament to Mendes' status as a legend in the music industry. So grab a caipirinha, put on your dancing shoes, and let Sergio Mendes take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Trust me, you won't regret it.
