On her new album, Vera shows a great musical variety without exaggerating in what is called virtuosity. By choosing beautiful melodies as themes Vera´s found a perfect harmonic path to fit her refined drumming into the songs. You would listen to complex arrangements sounding smooth at the same time on the first track, "Vera Cruz Island" and also a right-dose-complicated-swing on "Devagar". There is a Brazilian northeast influence on "Tererê", beautiful and heavenly melodies on "Renata", "Chamamé" and "Deep Inside" (featuring Mike Stern). The most energetic songs are the forró-rock-fusion "Reaching Another Day", the briskness of "Figão´s House" where Vera and Dennis Chambers play an instigating duet, the tenuosity and Weather Report like "Double V" (featuring Virgil Donati), the chorinho-jazz-fusion "Reverse" and the intricate "Dave" (both featuring Dave Weckl).
