Description
A member of the Latin Grammy award- winning band, Bala Desejo , Dora showcases a new side to her solo productions on this special LP. Whereas Dora’s first solo EP, Vento de Beirada, was a leap of faith, Pique sees her soaring as one of Brazil’s standout stars, emboldened, emphatic but ever elegant. Building bridges between past and present, it’s a funkier, more groove- based affair, weaved together with those signature, slower, celestial tracks. Touching on disco, MPB, soul, R&B and jazz , the album is enriched with an indie pop aesthetic courtesy of fellow Brazilian star and co-producer, Ana Frango Eletrico.
With an ethereal, enveloping air few can match, Dora’s gift shines through both the serene and the spirited songs contained within. The blissful, sun-soaked ‘Nao Vou Te Esquecer’ opens, before the funk-fuelled, feel-good’Venha Comigo’ and ‘Sim, Nao.’ give a glimpse of the creativity bursting from the production partnership between Dora and Ana Frango Eletrico. Elsewhere, the album reclines into hazy lean-back realms via ‘A Melhor Saida’ and ‘Petricor’, virtuoso jazz funk in the form of ‘VW Blue’ and radiant MPB through the album’s title track ‘Pique’.
