Ana Frango Elétrico, the talented singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, arranger, and music producer from Rio de Janeiro, wraps up the era of her album “Me chama de gato que eu sou sua” (2023) nearly two years after its release, which significantly raised her profile in the Brazilian alternative music scene. This closure marks the beginning of a new chapter, signified by the upcoming release of a single on a seven-inch vinyl format by the labels Risco, Mr. Bongo, and Psychic Hotline.
In this single, titled “A sua diversão,” Ana introduces a fresh, unreleased track co-written with Tuca Monteiro, a song that she has previously performed during the tour for her album. The poignant lyrics reflect on the distance between the excitement of Saturday night and the mundanity of Monday morning, infused with a blend of melancholy and acceptance, set against a groovy backdrop that was officially launched on Thursday, July 10th.
While the first track of the single is already available on digital platforms, the complete single will be unveiled on July 24th with the release of the B-side. This side features a reinterpretation of “Não tem nada não,” a collaboration between Marcos Valle, João Donato (1934 – 2023), and Eumir Deodato originally presented by Valle 52 years ago on the album “Previsão do tempo” (1973).
Ana had considered incorporating “Não tem nada não” into her album’s predominantly original repertoire but ultimately decided against it. However, she revisited the song, breathing new life into it through a collaboration with Marcos Valle himself on the B-side of the single. This choice to include Valle’s work aligns perfectly with the overarching theme as the recording of “A sua diversão” draws inspiration from the groove that defines Marcos Valle’s music, blending the bossa nova sway with a pop sensibility that has solidified Valle’s status as a musical trailblazer.
In this artistic endeavor, Ana Frango Elétrico pays homage to a musical legend while asserting her unique voice and style in the contemporary music landscape, showcasing a seamless fusion of past influences and present innovation. This decisive step not only marks the end of a cycle but also hints at the exciting possibilities that lie ahead for an artist who continually pushes boundaries and explores new creative avenues.
As Ana Frango Elétrico closes this chapter with a captivating blend of nostalgia and novelty, she invites listeners on a journey that celebrates musical evolution and pays tribute to the timeless allure of artistic reinvention. In a world where music serves as a bridge between past and present, tradition and innovation, Ana’s latest single stands as a testament to the enduring power of creative collaboration and the boundless potential of musical storytelling.
