Back in Brazil she collaborated with pianist Joyce Collin and Aldir Blanc, recording the song "Carta de pedra at Canecã".
The album was produced by Almir Chediak and brought her that year the Sharp Award for Best Brazilian New Female Vocalist.
Her next albums were Presente (2003) and Antonio Adolfo e Carol Saboya ao vivo/live (2007), the latter recorded in Festival Miami.
She covered songs by Mário Sève on her 2008 album Chão aberto and collaborated with Adolfo on his Lá e Cá, which fuses Brazilian and American standards by Jobim, Cole Porter and other artists.
