Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the rhythmic drive of Maravida into the stark, dramatic gravity of Atiraste Uma Pedra.

The title track Alteza where the orchestration swells to match the sheer authority of her vocal delivery.

The environmental urgency of Purificar O Subaé where her voice carries a weight of both grief and demand.
