I grew up listening to tropicalia, bossa nova, and MPB, and I am super charmed by how Sessa is pushing forward those genres yet making a sound of his own. The songwriting and production in this album are both spot on: laidback, spacious, warm, makes you wanna dance. The drum sounds and free jazz moments are sublime. Flor do Real is low-key one of the most beautifully sensual, bordering on erotic, songs I've ever heard. If you don't speak Portuguese, look up the lyrics :)
Favorite track: Flor do Real.
