Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sophomore studio effort from the Porto Alegre-born artist features a more urban and contemporary production compared to her debut. The arrangements prioritize minimal acoustic textures and poetic lyricism, including the hit 'Mentiras'. It functions as a definitive document of the modernization of 'MPB' in the early 1990s, blending traditional Brazilian song structures with subtle pop sensibilities.
