The genre has been described as "urban trip-hop".[3] The album received mostly favorable reviews. Some reviewers dismissed the album as a gimmick, a fact that disappointed the band.[4] Two singles were released from the album: "Birthday Cake", as a promotional 7" and "Know Your Chicken", in a variety of formats, for which an accompanying video was released. A video for "Sugar Water" was also made, featuring a split-screen technique, which was directed by Michel Gondry. HistoryWarner Bros. signed Cibo Matto after their self-titled EP caught the label's attention. The tracks reflected the band's live performances, with pre-recorded samples and loops. Yuka Honda has expressed regret that she did not stand up for herself when others discouraged her from replacing the samples and loops with new recordings.[5] The album's songs all include food in some way, sometimes as a metaphor.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} Yuka Honda explains: "Food is something you can't escape. It's there every day." The band would frequently go to restaurants after rehearsal, and "Cibo Matto grew out of those restaurant times."[6] Album art and lyrical contentThe album's lyrical content balances humorous lyrics in "Beef Jerky", "Birthday Cake", and "Know Your Chicken" with abstract, often emotional narrative-style wording in "Apple", "Sugar Water", and "Artichoke", as well as overall pop music fare in "White Pepper Ice Cream", "Theme", and "Le Pain Perdu". Several tracks feature the group's well-known references to food, primarily present on this release. The album booklet contains illustrations and lyrics accompanying most of the songs. The only tracks for which the booklet features no lyrics are "The Candy Man", a cover of a song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (presumably for copyright reasons; the song also has all lyrical instances of Willy Wonka changed to the candy man) and "Jive", a hidden track with a length of 18 seconds consisting of Miho Hatori tapping her thighs, for which she is also credited. "Theme", unusual among Cibo Matto's discography for its length, is a track which features a relatively normal song sung in English with several Italian words before shifting into instrumental passages and leading into a second half that contains entire verses in Japanese and French. Track listingAll songs written and composed by Cibo Matto, unless otherwise specified.
Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[7] | rev2 = Entertainment Weekly | rev2Score = A−[8] | rev3 = Pitchfork | rev3Score = 9.1/10[9] | rev4 = Rolling Stone | rev4score = {{Rating|3|5}}[10] | rev5 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev5Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[11] | rev6 = Spin | rev6Score = 9/10[12] }}AllMusic's Heather Phares praised Cibo Matto as "Fresh and funky", and said of the album, "Viva! La Woman is an innovative and catchy mix of eclectic samples and stream-of-consciousness lyrics. [...] A diverse and entertaining album, Viva! La Woman leaves the listener hungry for more of their crazy food for thought."[7] Michele Romero of Entertainment Weekly summarised the album thus: "Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda[...] are sonic savants who go nutty mixing disparate ingredients, like avant-garde trumpet with bossa nova bass lines and sugary non-sequitur lyrics. The result, Viva! La Woman[...] is kitschy club music, as kooky and lovable as Hello Kitty."[8] As well as spending six weeks at the top of CMJ's College charts,[13] the album was named as one of the ten best albums of 1996 by Spin magazine,[13] and was later listed in their "Top 90" albums of the 1990s.[13] PersonnelFrom the liner notes of Viva!
