Made in Brazil: 10 incredible women making music right now

If you are familiar with Brazilian music, you may have listened to big names like Elis Regina, Gal Costa, and Maria Bethânia. But if that’s pretty much what you know, it’s time to stir up some more contemporary artists into your playlist. So here’s a list of 10 incredible women, in chronological order from their first official release.

10 » Céu

With 5 albums on her baggage, Céu is one of those rare artists that are able to succeed no matter which direction she chooses to follow next. Her music includes many influences that go from samba, R&B, bossa nova, reggae, with lots of layers of minimal electronic beats. My favorite albums are Vagarosa (2009) and Tropix (2016).

9 » Mallu Magalhães

Mallu Magalhães started her musical journey in her teens when she recorded a few songs and decided to post on her MySpace page. She became an instant success, and it's been great to see how much she evolved and matured as an artist since those days, transitioning from folk-rock-inspired tunes (mostly sung in English) to more polished and well-produced albums heavily influenced by samba and bossa nova. My favorite albums are Pitanga (2011) and Vem (2017).

8 » Tulipa Ruiz

Even though I was already listening to Céu, Tulipa Ruiz's debut album Efêmera (2010) was the record that made me stop and start paying more attention to a whole new generation of Brazilian female artists that were starting to get more and more attention in the scene. Although I still enjoyed all of her future releases, the first one will always have a special place in my heart.

7 » Mahmundi

My first introduction to Mahmundi was while I was photographing her concert, back in Brazil, years before the release of her first full-length album. It was love at first listen, as her interesting mix of genres and stage presence grabbed me right away. My favorite albums are Mahmundi (2016) and Para Dias Ruins (2018).

6 » Bruna Mendez

With two albums equally acclaimed by critics, Bruna Mendez is already one of the most interesting artists to follow in the scene. While the first record was paved in organic instrumentation, the second one brought a more minimal (and modern) ambiance, through the use of electronic beats and melodies. My favorite album is Corpo Possível (2019).

5 » Luiza Lian

One of many names to introduce spiritual/ancestral themes in her compositions, Luiza Lian is not only an incredible singer and songwriter but also a visual artist, who uses her different talents to bring much more than just music to her performances. It's one of those artists that keeps growing immensely in between releases and only makes us get more and more excited about what's next. My favorite album is Azul Moderno (2018).

4 » Luedji Luna

If you enjoyed the spiritual content of the previous artists but thought the music was a bit too artsy, Luedji Luna may be just what you're looking for! Her second and most recent album, Bom Mesmo É Estar Debaixo D'Água (2020) was partially recorded in Africa, and brings lots of elements to her work, both musically and on the lyrical content. Her style is much closer to the bigger names of MPB ("Popular Brazilian Music"), compared to almost everyone else in this list, but no less enjoyable by any means. It's an album made to be listened to from beginning to the end with no interruption, as every other record should be. My favorite album is Bom Mesmo É Estar Debaixo D'Água (2020).

3 » Tuyo

Different from all the other entries on this list, Tuyo is a trio (instead of a solo artist) composed by one man and two women, who shine in front of the project singing most part of the songs. With only one full-length album released so far, they have become one of my favorite artists these days, mixing delicate and sentimental melodies with minimal electronic beats, extolling, even more, the beautiful and sad (at times) lyrics. Sem Mentir, the first single of their upcoming second album, was one of my favorite songs from last year. My favorite album is the only one released so far: Pra Curar(2018).

2 » Vivian Kuczynski

The youngest one on this list, Vivian Kuczynski is only 17 years old but seems to have incredible control over her music and art. Even though she's the youngest, Ictus (2019) may be one of the densest records that I'm recommending here. Mixing personal themes with socio-political criticism, the album is full of darker electronic ambients, that complement Vivian's unique vocal range. It's exciting to see someone so young producing something so extraordinary. Her following release, the 2020 EP 'N ENTENDI ND" is even more experimental, and I just can't wait for more! My favorite album is the only one released so far: Ictus (2019).

1 » Ana Frango Elétrico

If the last artists I recommended were a bit too experimental for you, Ana Frango Elétrico may be just what you need. Going completely against the minimal electronic production from the previous artists, here you'll find a lot of color and playfulness that will take you straight back to the tropical music Brazil was known for back in the day. Listening to her music is like taking a walk inside Ana's mind, where each and every little thing can become an idea for a song. My favorite album is Little Electric Chicken Heart (2019).

💽 Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia

If you paid any attention to mainstream music in the last few years, and especially in 2020, there’s no way that you’re not familiar with British singer Dua Lipa at this point.

But if her 2017 debut album wasn’t already one of the most interesting things that happened to pop music in recent years, her latest release was the definitive proof that she wasn’t going to be just another name in the industry to fade away. Future Nostalgia goes back to the 70s disco music to draw a lot of inspiration, taking everything to the next level by adding a flawless contemporary production in an album packed with instant hits ready to take over the dance floors around the world. Little she knew that we would all be dancing to her songs in our living rooms instead… An album that was instantly born a modern classic and we’ll be jamming for a long time!

If you can’t get over listening to the album and want to go a bit behind the scenes, here are 3 extra pieces of content worth consuming:

• the podcast Song Exploder on the song Levitating;

• the podcast Switched on Pop on the song Don't Start Now;

• the tv series Song Exploder on the song Love Again.

Selton

Originally from Brazil, now based in Italy, Selton has slowly become not only one of my favorite bands but also one of the most interesting ones to follow. And a lot of that has to do with their ability to blend so many genres (and languages, since they sing in Portuguese, Italian, English, and Spanish) together and create their own style without sounding fabricated or unoriginal.

photo: Mario Zanaria

Even though you could easily classify them as an indie/pop-rock act, they are so much more than that. With 4 studio albums on their baggage, and a new one coming this year, it’s truly joyful to whiteness their evolution as a band. If you’ve never heard of them, a good introduction may the song “Loreto Paradiso”, the opening track of the 2016 album by the same name. It’s an ultra-fun and short song that captures a lot of the diversity in their style. A few of my other favorite songs include “Across The Sea”, “You’re Good”, “Cemitério de Elefante”, “Sampleando Devendra”, and “De Volta Para o Futuro”. I love how you can catch a glimpse of influences in their sound, from bands like old-schoolers The Beatles and The Beach Boys to more modern acts like Vampire Weekend. And to think that my first introduction to their music was while I was photographing them live in Brazil many years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and what an amazing surprise it was!

🎙 Grammys 2021: performances

On March 14th The Grammys held its 63rd edition in Los Angeles, in an in-person social distancing event, that worked better than many people were expecting. The live performances, that happened indoors but with no proper audience, were done in an interesting way with multiple stages set around a big circle, where the artists took turns performing their songs. Here are my favorite performances from the night, including names that I either didn’t know or was not familiar with their music until then:

Billie Eilish - everything i wanted

Taylor Swift - cardigan / august / willow

HAIM - The Steps

Roddy Ricch - Heartless / The Box

Doja Cat - Say So

Lil Baby - The Bigger Picture

Mickey Guyton - Black Like Me (Our Voices)

Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar

Silk Sonic - Leave the Door Open

Dua Lipa - Levitating ft. DaBaby / Don't Start Now

Post Malone - Hollywood's Bleeding

And as an honorable mention, here’s an incredible performance that unfortunately happened during the pre-show instead:

Lido Pimienta - Eso Que Tu Haces

👨🏻‍🎤 Sufjan Stevens - Tell Me You Love Me

Sufjan Stevens reunited with director Luca Guadagnino for the music video of “Tell Me You Love Me”, from his 2020 album The Ascension. “My love, I've lost my faith in everything. Tell me you love me anyway.” — sings Sufjan right at the beginning.

It’s a beautiful ballad that, instead of a usual acoustic guitar melody, is accompanied by lots of electronic layers and textures of different sounds. It may sound uncomfortable unless you’re already familiar with his style, but very rewarding if you let yourself get lost through the music, especially if you’re listening through a good pair of headphones.

💽 Hayley Williams - FLOWERS for VASES / descansos

Let’s month, while I was writing a Newsletter issue focused on Valentine’s Day, I started thinking about what were some of my favorite music and movies surrounding the theme and noticed that they all had heavy doses of melancholy (or even sadness) applied to them, which got me thinking that even the so-called romantic movies, always takes us through a journey of lots of suffering before we can see the characters finally enjoying happier times. And if you look at LGBTQ+ movies, most of the time not even the ending is happy, but that’s a discussion for another time.

“All I ever had to say about love is a sad song” — sings Hayley at the beginning of “Trigger”, one of my favorite songs of her new album that I can’t stop listening to. When I heard those words, I knew that I was on the right path associating sadness to love, even though we normally tend to think about happiness when we talk about love in the real world. “FLOWERS for VASES / descansos” is a much different album from her debut “Petals for Armor”, released less than a year ago as her first effort detached from being the frontwoman of Paramore. Both records are incredibly good in their own different ways, but there’s something about this recent one that just touched me differently. Maybe it’s the more minimal, stripped-down arrangements, maybe it’s the general theme of the lyrics, maybe its the intimacy and honesty we can feel through the whole recording, which was done at her home, where she wrote and played every single instrument we hear.

🤘🏼 Architects - For Those That Wish To Exist

It took me 9 albums to finally fall in love with the British metalcore band Architects. I can’t say that I enjoy all of their releases, but this new one, For Those That Wish To Exist, was one of my most anticipated of the year and already one of my favorites of 2021. They had my full attention since the release of Animals, the first single of the record, about 4 months ago, together with the beautiful and intriguing album cover.

This is definitely not for everyone, especially if you’re not into heavier music, but I promise it will be a powerful journey if you wish to take it. There are 15 tracks, running for almost 1 hour, and it’s one of those cases where an uninterrupted listening from the first to the very last track makes for a truly rewarding experience.

With a central theme around a global climate catastrophe, that we all see it coming but do little about it, For Those That Wish To Exist is a perfect blend of old and new sounds explored by the band on what has been referred to as a fresh start in their discography. It’s heavy, it’s dense, it’s aggressive, but it’s also full of beautiful contemplative moments in between.

Supercolisor - Viagem ao Fim da Noite

Originally from Manaus, Brasil, Supercolisor is a genre-bending band that mixes alternative rock with popular Brazilian music.

© www.supercolisor.com

Even though they have been playing music together for over a decade, it was only upon the release of their recent album, Viagem ao Fim da Noite, that I got to know their work. And it was love at first listen! If you don’t speak Portuguese you will probably be missing the lyrical content of their compositions, but don’t worry, since the instrumentation and melodies don’t stand behind. It’s an incredible journey from beginning till the end, accompanied by a beautiful visual identity in the shape of the album (and singles) artwork, followed by 7 music videos that make the whole experience even richer. Already one of my favorite albums of 2021!
