Twelve exotic originals cap the international songstress’s third album, where La Gardot finds herself in the capable hands of producer, composer, and guitarist Heitor Pereira, who has hit big in the past with his collaborations with Seal, Sting, and others. The opener, “Mira,” is energetic yet delicate, conjuring the rhythm of Brazil, while “My Heart Won’t Have It Any Other Way” effectively sulks and pouts, almost a la Winehouse.
