"Pique" is the sensational debut solo album from Dora Morelenbaum, one of the key talents spearheading Brazil'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 Dora's first solo EP, "Vento de Beirada", was a leap of faith, "Pique" sees her soaring as one of Brazil's standout stars, emboldened, emphatic but ever elegant. Building bridges between past and present, it'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 Elétrico. 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 Ana's production.
