Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Tropicalia icon seamlessly weaves subtle new wave and sophisti-pop textures into his signature acoustic bossa nova and MPB frameworks. 'Uns' is marked by incredibly smooth production, lush arrangements, and Caetano Veloso's poetic, introspective lyricism. The record stands as a pristine, deeply mature highlight of his expansive 1980s discography.
