Release Notes:
In life and in music, Brazilian singer and songwriter Luφsa 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, Luφsa 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 Mem≤ria, which means "Thread of Memory" in Portuguese, will be released
September 23rd on Cumbancha. The album bridges sultry downtempo electronica and
Brazilian popular music to boldly redefine not only Luφsa's personal style, but
also the soundscape of modern Brazil.
Those who know Luφsa Maita personally will notice that she seems to exist in a
different time dimension from the rest of us. Ironically, her home city of Sπo
Paulo, one of the world's most frenetic and over-populated metropolises, is her
main source of artistic inspiration. As the city rushes around her in a buzzing
hive of activity, Luφsa floats gently through the madness. Like a slow motion
figure in a high-speed film, she sits back and soaks it all in, wisely observing
the world as it dashes by.
"The record is about what Brazil is today aesthetically, in this electronic
age," notes Luφsa. The songs on Fio da Mem≤ria address themes of love,
spirituality, heritage, and cultural history. Intense and sensual, with a warm,
languid sound, the songs often have a dream-like quality that do not seem to
follow a particular narrative logic yet are filled with poetic resonance.
"It is a very subjective, personal and emotional record," according to Luφsa. "I
tried not to limit myself to a certain musical style, and in this diversity
there is unity. I wanted to revisit the Brazilian rhythms and other sounds that
I have heard growing up from a contemporary, electronic and urban perspective."
To achieve her goals, Luφsa worked with some of Brazil's hottest, cutting-edge
talents. She started the production with Tejo Damasceno, a DJ and electronic
musician who helped formulate Luφsa's new sound. For the second phase, she
worked with bass player and producer ZΘ Nigro, who took a more organic approach.
After they recorded the instruments, they applied filters, beats and effects,
working their way back to electronic music through a different route.
The album's first single, the title track "Fio da Mem≤ria", was released August
12th and a music video of the song will be made public on September 16th. With a
funky bass synth line underpinning Luφsa's breathy voice, the song began its
life closer to a traditional Brazilian samba, but during the recording process
it underwent a complete transformation. The lyrics muse on how Brazil's past is
redefined by every generation. "YouÆll weep / A thousand years from now / Your
story was stolen / By someone who loved you too deeply and also wept / Vile
thread of memory."
A second single, the dreamy "Na Asa" (On Wings), will be released on September
9th. The song has an airy melody and lyrics that tell of a boy from the
outskirts of Sπo Paulo who, against all odds, transcends the struggles of his
daily life and fulfills his dreams. Inspired by the intense electronic sounds of
Bj÷rk and Kanye West, the beats are reminiscent of a Brazilian samba school's
drumming.
The release of Fio da Mem≤ria will be supported by a North American tour that
begins September 23rd, and includes two appearances at the prestigious Austin
City Limits Festival. The tour also includes shows in Montreal, New York City,
Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis, Oakland and other dates to be announced
soon.
As the saying goes, "All good things come to those who wait," and that is
certainly the case with Luφsa Maita's striking second album. The record confirms
Luφsa's reputation as one of her country's most talented and innovative
songwriters and provides a captivating platform for her distinctive and
mesmerizing voice.
