Composer, singer, and pianist Ivan Lins has long been influenced by various musical genres, such as jazz, bossa nova, and soul. On this album, 'Saudades de Casa', Ivan brings together the very elements that shaped his style and earned him acclaim both in Brazil and abroad. He creates a relaxed atmosphere—reminiscent of a rehearsal—while showcasing a repertoire of his greatest hits alongside two delightful surprises: "Boa Nova" and "Debruçado." Close friends also feature on the album—including Chico Buarque, Daniel Gonzaga, Leila Pinheiro, and Hamilton de Holanda—along with a moving collaboration with his son, Cláudio Lins.

"A Thousand Days" is a Live & Unplugged concert recording by Trijntje Oosterhuis, recorded on April 27, 2004 at Panama, Amsterdam. The performance has an intimate and personal character and features a selection of 26 songs, including old hits from her time with Total Touch, tracks from her solo career, her Dutch-language songs, and material from her then-platinum album Strange Fruit.
