"Fugiu Com A Novela" by Vanessa da Mata, from "Sim" (2008):

One of the most successful and popular interpreters of MPB in the 2000's, Vanessa's productions icorporate a wide range of rythms like samba, afrobeat, reggae, tropicalia, rock, and of course, bossa nova. Some of her best known musics that became a hit were featured in telenovelas that were absurdly popular in Brazil, not the case of this track, but ironically its title means 'She left me for the soap opera'.

"Balada do Amor Inabalável" by Skank, from "Skank" (2000):

An uncommon incursion of pop-rock band Skank into the genre of bossa nova, bringing pop aesthetics to the chilled rythms and the simple lyrics about love sung with a characteristic swing of bossa.

"Tafetá (feat. João Donato)" by Tulipa Ruiz, from "Dancê" (2015):

Representing newest generation of MPB, Tulipa collaborates with bossa legend João Donato, mixing tradition with the experimentation that distinguish great part her work.

"Sina" by Gilberto Gil, from "Parabolicamará" (1992):

Gil made his debut in 1967 with a whole album of bossa nova, but what keeps him among the most popular artists from back then to this very present day is his infinite ability to innovate, as demonstrated in this bossa-pop rework of the well known 'Sina' written and first released by Djavan in his sophisti-pop album 'Luz' from 1982.
