Gabriela Anders got her big break singing a duet with soft jazz giant Michael Franks, and like that new age patriarch, Anders wraps laid-back vocals around even more tranquil rhythms. It’s all very calming and proficient and breezy. Wanting, her debut album, mixes bits of her Argentine heritage with late-’70s California jazz, so Brazilian music coasts along with soft and hazy saxophone fills and tapping percussion leads. It all can be very pretty, as the opening “Fire of Love” represents Anders at her most relaxed and relaxing. – Michael Gallucci
