While usually featuring crystalline vocals alongside clean tones and perfect production, Brazilian star Bebel Gilberto dirties up her sound a bit on this cover produced by Mark Ronson. Sounding like some sort of lost 60s soundtrack to a tropical James Bond film, "The Real Thing" shows a more sultry and mysterious side to Gilberto, and it suits her. The production is vintage Ronson, even if it sounds a little unoriginal after 5 or so years on the market. All in all this track will round out any party playlist you have this weekend, and makes for a damn fine morning listen at the office. Happy Friday. Gilberto's latest effort All In One is out now. NA tour dates after the jump.

She is charming. We saw her at Town Hall in the summer. The production value of the show wasn't amazing, and the sound was a lil off, but she was charming. She just seems like somebody who you want to get coffee with ya know? What a fantastic picture.
