Hi all, This bossa is performed by Charlotte Couleau. I've shared the writing of lyrics with Charlotte and Davie Tufnell https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/bewitching-bossa-with-charlotte-couleauMy voice has never been special But this Bossa is bewitching me Suddenly making me vibe by Catching to my sense of rhythm. I can now make words sound clearly, Like those of Joao Gilberto. Each one is smoothly connected Without a touch of vibrato. Infused with stylish elegance This Bossa leaves me with no choice But create a new song and dance, Feeling new sweetness in my voice...

Bonjour d'Arcachon !
Lovely bossa, Chris. And thank you for introducing me to Charlotte Couleau. I sub'd her YouTube channel. Her cover of the Serge Gainsbourg song "Les P'tits Papiers" was great. I'm a big fan of Serge.
Bonne journée !

Charlotte, you said "My voice has never been special". I disagree as I think it is fantastic.
Charlotte, Dave and Chris, this an outstanding song
Everything is spot on, great vocal, arrangement, backing band, and mix
Excellent work.

Haunting melody and nicely sung. A little different approach to bossa, in a good way. Enjoyed it a lot.

Chris This is a lovely chilled production which is indeed "Infused with stylish elegance" I love the nylon guitar and perfectly sparse rhythm and bass as well as the vocal harmonies. I visited Charlotte's UTube link and her music is impressive. She reminds me of a young version of the late, great Kate McGarrigle. As this is a B'nova, it was a nice touch to mention Joao Gilberto . My partner is learning French and she said Bien joué after a listen.

So great singing of this Charlotte Couleau, that I had to check who she is. As I could guessed, she is not just only highly musically trained professional, but also a talented singer, pianist and composer. I wish I had a visiting vocalist like that to produce songs, but I can't afford to pay, when I don't get any incomes from my productions.
P.S. Today is the national day of France. Viva la France!

Brilliant from beginning to end; superb from start to finish.
The instruments, musical elements, composition, lyrics and vocals all masterfully combined to produce a very pleasant listening experience. Well done all of you.

Hi, Chris. Sounds lovely! A nice song, made even better by an excellent singer. It looks like AI is still having trouble with the number of strings on an instrument. There are 6 strings on the picture at the nut, but they become 7 strings by the time they reach the singer's fingers.
