Description:

Pique is the sensational debut solo album from Dora Morelenbaum, one of the key talents spearheading Brazilâ??s new musical wave. A member of the Latin Grammy award-winning band, Bala Desejo, Dora showcases a new side to her solo productions on this special LP. Whereas Doraâ??s first solo EP, Vento de Beirada, was a leap of faith, Pique sees her soaring as one of Brazilâ??s standout stars, emboldened, emphatic but ever elegant. Building bridges between past and present, itâ??s a funkier, more groove-based affair, weaved together with those signature, slower, celestial tracks. Touching on disco, MPB, soul, R&B and jazz, the album is enriched with an indie pop aesthetic courtesy of fellow Brazilian star and co-producer, Ana Frango ElÃ©trico. With an ethereal, enveloping air few can match, Doraâ??s gift shines through both the serene and the spirited songs contained within. The blissful, sun-soaked â??NÃ£o Vou Te Esquecerâ?? opens, before the funk-fuelled, feel-good â??Venha Comigoâ?? and â??Sim, NÃ£o.â?? give a glimpse of the creativity bursting from the production partnership between Dora and Ana Frango ElÃ©trico. Elsewhere, the album reclines into hazy lean-back realms via â??A Melhor SaÃdaâ?? and â??Petricorâ??, virtuoso jazz funk in the form of â??VW Blueâ?? and radiant MPB through the albumâ??s title track â??Piqueâ??. The drumming is tight, fresh and swung, the horns and strings deftly arranged, as funk-driven basslines and strutting guitars mesh with playful production touches that give an added vibrancy to the record. It is an album that exhibits every side of Dora and one she has been involved in from the ground up, from the songwriting, singing, arrangement and production to booking the studio time and sourcing the artwork designer, Maria Cau Levy. An exchange of musical ideas powers every great scene and Rioâ??s contemporary landscape is no different - a family of interconnected musicians and friends that collaborate on each otherâ??s productions. Pique is graced by a wealth of these leading Brazilian lights including her Bala Desejo bandmates Lucas Nunes, Julia Mestre and ZÃ© Ibarra, as well as Guilherme Lirio, Alberto Continentino and Tom Veloso to name just a handful. This exchange crosses generations merging tradition with modernity. In a full circle moment, Doraâ??s parents Paula and Jaques Morelenbaum, who featured in countless recordings from Tom Jobim's Nova Banda and Ryuichi Sakamoto to Gal Costa and Gilberto Gil, join on the album through backing vocals and arrangement. Pique sees Dora embrace a freedom through fresh forms, showcasing the depth and diversity of her creative artistry. An infinitely listenable release that nods to Brazilian greats like Gal Costa, Banda Black Rio and Lincoln Olivetti, fused with the indie pop edge of Anaâ??s production. The result is truly unique and sure to be a future Brazilian classic. -
