Light My Fire is the twenty-first studio album by Brazilian jazz pianist and singer Eliane Elias. It was released on May 31, 2011 via Concord Picante label. On this record she performs mostly Brazilian songs, but also adds a couple of jazz standards and one or two famous rock and pop compositions.
Matt Collar of Allmusic wrote "Brazilian jazz pianist, vocalist Eliane Elias' 2011 Concord Picante debut Light My Fire is a romantic and sultry affair that showcases her knack for traditional bossa nova tunes as well as few inspired covers. Joining Elias here are a few special guests including Brazil legend Gilberto Gil, who sings on three tracks, as well as singer Amanda Brecker (Elias' daughter with trumpeter Randy Brecker) who appears on "Toda Menina Baiana." Also backing Elias are a bevy of talented individuals, including producer/bassist Marc Johnson, guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves, percussionists Rafael Barata and Paulo Braga, and trumpeter Brecker."
