The third track, a version of 'If I Fell,' is performed in a modern bossa nova style. 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 album ends in a great crescendo with a brilliant version of 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.' Somewhat ironically, that track is the only one to which a distinctly Brazilian touch has not been added.
