Description
In life and in music, Brazilian singer and songwriter LuÃsa Maita likes to take it slow. It has been over six years since she released her critically acclaimed debut album, Lero-Lero. In that time, LuÃsa has toured the world numerous times, received the Brazilian equivalent of the GRAMMY for Best New Artist, had two of her songs featured in the Academy Award-winning film Boyhood, collaborated with Daniel Hunt of Ladytron, recorded with Da Lata, shared the stage with some of the biggest stars in Brazilian music, and lent her voice to the opening ceremony of the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Fans waiting impatiently for Maita's second album to be finished might have felt like they were in that classic ketchup commercial…the one where the song "Anticipation" plays as the ketchup makes its way oh so slowly down the interior of the bottle. The wait is finally over, and it has definitely been worth it. Fio da Memória, which means "Thread of Memory" in Portuguese, will be released on Cumbacha. The album bridges sultry downtempo electronica and Brazilian popular music to boldly redefine not only LuÃsa's personal style, but also the soundscape of modern Brazil.
