Bossa Nova Noites Releases New Track “Nothing on You (Rainbow Beach Mix)” feat. Monique Elen | LISTEN!

BOSSA NOVA NOITES REIMAGINES GLOBAL HIT “NOTHING ON YOU”
WITH SAMBA SOUL SEDUCTION
INTRODUCING BRAZILIAN INTERNATIONAL SOUL AND POP SINGER MONIQUE ELEN

New Single Fuels U.S. Tour; European Expansion in Motion

Out today, Bossa Nova Noites’ (BNN) “Nothing on You (Rainbow Beach Mix)” is a radiant, samba-infused reinvention of the international smash by B.o.B and Bruno Mars. BNN’s Monique Elen’s smoky, emotive vocals and special guest Najee’s saxophone artistry transform the pop original into a sun-soaked, hypnotic soul dreamscape—a true summer anthem with substance.

At the helm of the genre-defying BNN is producer Robert Hébert, who blends sultry Brazilian swing with contemporary jazz and soul. With its intricate percussion and cinematic flair, “Nothing on You (Rainbow Beach Mix)” is Hébert’s latest re-imagining of Brazilian rhythm and Chicago Soul as an irresistible form of cultural synergy—which is seducing audiences from the Americas to Europe and Asia Pacific.

Already charting a course across continents, Hébert’s Bossa Nova Noites I: Bahia Nights album (co-produced with the stellar Curtis King Jr., who sings the title track) is igniting global playlists and radio rotations—from soul, R&B, smooth jazz and world music stations across the U.S., UK, Spain, Germany, France, Australia, Canada, Sweden and Holland to tastemaker stations like Smooth Jazz Network, KPFK (NYC), WKCR (LA), WCLK (Atlanta), Connect Brazil (Chicago), Smooth Jazz Club (Spain), KEXP, KZSU, and Jazz FM London. All told, impressively, BNN’s acclaimed debut album has spent over 32 consecutive weeks on international jazz, soul and world music charts—testament to the project’s growing global resonance.

To meet the rising demand, Bossa Nova Noites now brings its spellbinding sound to the stage with an intimate U.S. tour this August at City Winery venues, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience this sonic fusion live, featuring Monique Elen, Najee, Curtis King Jr., Frank McComb, and a handpicked band of master Brazilian rhythm players — with the iconic Quincy Jones/Al Jarreau collaborator Larry Williams serving as Robert Hébert’s on-stage musical director.

Far more than a band, BNN is a transatlantic cultural engine, blending Brazil’s rhythmic soul with jazz sophistication and pop accessibility. The current album is a next step in the blueprint established by the “Alexandra Jackson: Legacy & Alchemy” album, the Hébert-Williams’ earlier collaboration featuring appearances by Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Ivan Lins, Carlinhos Brown, Larry Dunn and Al McKay, Hubert Laws, Rod Temperton, Oscar Castro-Neves, Siedah Garrett, Banda Black Rio, Dona Ivone Lara, Arthur Maia, Darryl Jones, and the Jobims: Paulo, Daniel, and Antonio Carlos Jobim himself.

At the center of the “Nothing on You (Rainbow Beach Mix)” musical transformation is MONIQUE ELEN, who crafts a velvet samba revolution—redefining the contours of crossover music with each performance. Her voice is both intimate and anthemic, marking her as the unmistakable muse of BNN. That said, Hébert’s melding the sound of the legendary NAJEE (a four-time Grammy nominee with 12 Billboard #1 jazz albums) with Brazilian master percussionists Andre Siqueira and Felipe Alves. Together they deliver a masterclass in tone and restraint. Jazz, melody, rhythm and soul while grounding the music in its origins: Hébert’s hometown Chicago and adopted home Rio de Janeiro and elevates the song to a global pop track.
