“North American jazz fans are just starting to learn the name Daniela Soledade, but in Brazil, where she was born and raised through her early teens, the family moniker echoes across some eight decades of musical creation. On her second album, Pretty World (Blue Line), the sleek, bossa nova-inspired vocalist gracefully walks a high wire, balancing her need to define herself as an artist and her desire to celebrate a brilliant and enduring legacy. Before moving to Florida at the age of 14 with her mother, Soledade spent a good deal of her free time in rehearsals and recording studios with her father, guitarist Paulinho Soledade, a songwriter, producer and Baden Powell protégé. He absorbed the innovative bossa nova sound as a child running around Rio's Zum Zum Club, a proving group for emerging stars opened and run by his father, songwriter and Antonio Carlos Jobim confederate Paulinho Soledade. Paulinho's wife, Lima de Luca, introduced Jobim to Vinicius de Moraes, and went on to create the choreography for their first epochal collaboration Orfeu da Conceição, the 1956 stage production that eventually became Marcel Camus' Academy Award-winning bossa nova-igniting film Black Orpheus.
Recorded mostly in Rio with Daniela's father on bass and longtime musical compatriot Claudio Infante on drums, Pretty world taps into that rich history, vividly illustrating that the Soledade family has thrived not in solitude but in spectacularly creative community. For Daniela, the thrill wasn't just working with her father "and his friend from their teenage years", she said. "It was digging deeper in my grandfather's work, realizing he left a huge contribution to Brazilian music. What an honor and gift to continue! And then friends of his, these icones, have gotten into contact and become mentors to me".
Where her 2019 debut album "A moment of you" introduced Soledade as a singer fluent in the pulse of Bossa nova, her second release casts a wider net, starting with the title-track opener by Brazilian jazz pianist Antonio Adolfo (originally "Sá Marina" but rechristened with English lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman). Like Soledade, he's a longtime Florida resident, but they recorded together in Rio, offering a fresh take on his international hit. Connecting the day before he returned to the U.S., Adolfo was determined to make the session, telling her, "I've been a fan and friend of your family for 40 years".
She ended up writing a song with another familyfriend, 84-year-old bossa nova icon Roberto Menescal, supplying the Portuguese lyric to his tune "Como é gostoso sonhar", though she had to clear up some understandable confusion. "At first he thought my grandfather was my dad", she said. "He was telling me stories about playing in the Zum Zum Club every night for four years. When he agreed to make a video for the song with me it was so wonderful because he lives on a little island and to get there you have to take a life boat, which of course is (the title of) his best-known recording, "O barquinho"".
Expanding the album's family dynamic, she works closely with guitarist/arranger Nate Najar, her husband, producer, and songwriting collaborator. Randy Brecker, who has deep family ties to Brazil himself, contributes some glowing flugelhorn work on the couple's original "Beijo no Arpoador", while Harry Allen echoes an earlier saxophonist with a flair for Bossa nova on their arching love song "Nothing compaes". The album closes with her a cappella rendition of the Jobim/De Moraes standard "Eu sei que vou te amar". It might seem like she's overly exposed, but anyone who's been to a performance populated by Brazilian will recognize the track as an invitation to sing along. Continuing the Soledade family tradition, she's finding her own way with some consummate company." Andrew Gilbert (JazzTimes, Noviembre-Diciembre 2022)

"A cantora brasileira Daniela Soledade vem aos poucos solidificando seu nome no mercado americano. Seu avô paterno Paulo Soledade, foi empresário, produtor e compositor, inclusive parceiro de Antônio Carlos Jobim. Seu pai, Paulinho Soledade, é músico e também compositor.
Até o dia 13 de junho de 2023, mesmo já tendo lançado dois álbuns lançados nos Estados Unidos, com críticas positivas da revista de jazz Down Beat, ela nunca havia se apresentado em terras brasileiras.
O local escolhido foi o Bottles Bar, bem no coração do Beco das Garrafas, no Rio de Janeiro,  um dos nascedouros da Bossa Nova, que seu avô conhecia muito bem. Apesar do toda a magia, justa, que cerca as casas do Beco, elas não prezam pelo espaço. São pequenas. Pequenas e aconchegantes.
Ao lado do marido, produtor e guitarrista talentoso, Nate Najar, ela iluminou o pequeno palco com sua voz suave e firme.
Havia  magia e cumplicidade no Bottles. Tudo fluindo naturalmente, sem sobressaltos. Uma terça-feira Bossa Nova, no que tem de melhor essa adjetivação (...)" Célio Albuquerque
