Letrux
Theatrical synth-pop for the emotionally exhausted. Moody, nocturnal, and deeply dramatic songs that feel like a messy breakup in a neon-lit Rio dive bar.

Letrux sounds like the precise moment a glamorous night out turns into a deeply introspective morning. Her music is built on a foundation of 80s-inspired synths, driving post-punk basslines, and a vocal delivery that shifts effortlessly from a conspiratorial whisper to a theatrical belt. It is lush, slightly murky, and unapologetically dramatic, capturing the heat and chaos of urban life in Brazil through a sophisticated electronic lens.
What sets her apart is the 'Climão' - a specific Brazilian Portuguese term for a heavy, awkward, or intense atmosphere. She leans into the discomfort of relationships and self-discovery, using her background as an actress and writer to craft songs that feel like short, vivid plays. The production often feels submerged or nocturnal, as if the music is being heard through the walls of a neighboring apartment or a crowded nightclub.
Start with 'Letrux em Noite de Climão' to experience her most iconic sound. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the intersection of danceable grooves and devastating lyrics. It is music for people who want to dance while they process their most complicated feelings.
Letícia Pinheiro de Novaes, best known as Letrux (born 5 January 1982), is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, actress and writer.
