Product Description
Contents: Paper jacket packaging, bonus tracks planned. Lucas Arruda, the pinnacle of modern Brazilian mellow groove, delivers his long-awaited 3rd album after a 3.5-year hiatus, and it's incredibly brilliant! An even more urban and evolved, super-sophisticated sound! This is one of the finest Brazilian AOR/modern soul masterpieces of recent years, on par with Ed Motta's "Criterion of the Senses"! Lucas Arruda, Brazil's most stylish artist, whose 1st album "Sambadi" ('13) and 2nd album "Solar" ('15) both received rave reviews, and whose sophisticated, urban mellow grooves have captivated the hearts of Brazilian fusion fans and DJs alike, has finally released his 3rd album after a 3.5-year wait, which was highly anticipated! And once again, it's an absolute masterpiece! While glimpses of this style were seen in his previous work, this album shifts even further towards an AOR sound, and the quality of the songs is so high that it's no exaggeration to say that this is the true star of the recent AOR revival. Perhaps because it was co-produced with his brother Thiago Arruda, who also participated in Ed Motta's 2018 album "Criterion of the Senses," it exudes a similar feel throughout, and it can truly be called one of the best Brazilian AOR albums of recent years, on par with Ed's! In fact, for listeners who are looking for a more floor-friendly groove and a more sensual sound, this album might even be said to surpass Ed's! If Ed's album is "Criterion of the Senses," then Lucas's is like "a bundle of sense." The album cover, which is like an homage to classic AOR albums of yesteryear, also has a nice touch. The release is once again from the up-and-coming French label Favorite Recordings, home to artists like Andr? Solonco, so the quality is guaranteed!
