As the daughter of two parents who played and toured with both Antonio Carlos Jobim and Ryuichi Sakamoto, it's perhaps no surprise Dora Morelenbaum is one of the more exciting artists operating in Brazil's contemporary music scenes today. Her group Bala Desejo has won accolades aplenty, but Pique is Dora's solo debut. Co-produced with the amazing Ana Frango Elétrico, the album nods to Brazil's musical history while pushing forward in the finest of ways. - Flying Out
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.
