Astrud Gilberto

Bossanova: the quintessential music to any home/apartment. No better way to relax than to the soothing beats of Rio. Although, this one has a different tone to it. There still is that defining voice of Astrud Gilberto, only with some heavier beats.

Gabin

Originally by Ella Fitzgerald (I think?), Gabin does a great remix of this song. He gave a jazz classic just enough of an electro touch.

"Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see"

Frank Sinatra

The Voice from Hoboken. I wasn't born during his era but I've learned to love his songs. Two of my favorites:

I Won't Dance - Frank Sinatra Download


Too Marvelous - Frank Sinatra Download

Koop

Jazzy bossanova. These guys won a Swedish Grammy Award in 2003.

Coralie Clement

First heard this song in the movie Something's Gotta Give. Excellent soundtrack. Bossa sounds from a French artist.
