Timeless by Sergio Mendes

I just got Timeless by Sergio Mendes at Starbucks tonight. You may remember the article I posted on this album earlier.

Forty years after his group, Brasil '66, crashed the charts with "Mas Que Nada" and a full, fairly quiet decade since the release of his last studio project, Mendes is attempting a career resurrection of sorts with the help of some unlikely new friends. His new album, "Timeless," features a hip-hop and R&B guest list that includes John Legend, Justin Timberlake, India.Arie and the Black Eyed Peas. The Peas' leader, Will "will.i.am" Adams, produced the project, which includes a few new songs but plenty of Brazilian classics that have been given a hip-hop makeover complete with samples and drum loops. (more)

Other than too much will.i.am in spots, it's a hell of a release. Highly reccomended.
