Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, chanting chorus of the title track where the synth bass locks into a hypnotic, spiritual groove.
The jarring but brilliant transition into a punk-infused reggae beat on 'Punk da periferia' that mocks and celebrates urban grit.
The delicate, almost ambient synth washes that open 'A linha e o linho' before settling into a sophisticated pop ballad.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
