On "New York City," Brazilian Girls have crafted a set as internationally diverse as the Big Apple itself. Per usual, multilingual frontwoman Sabina Sciubba demands the spotlight, flaunting her pronunciations in French, Spanish, German and every other tongue she speaks. Attempting to pack so many styles into one sitting doesn't necessarily make for a cohesive set. The organic oompah of "Berlin" and the gorgeous "L'Interprete" are interesting, but frazzle the fun-loving, beat-heavy spirit of the remaining songs. Opener "St. Petersburg" is irresistible ("Do you like my accent?" Sciubba queries), and "Good Time" is as playful as its name indicates, with inside and self-referential jokes and an underbelly of silly synths. DJs will surely gravitate toward primal "Internacional," featuring Senegalese singer Baaba Maal. —Katie Hasty
