A member of the \u003cstrong\u003eLatin Grammy award-winning band, Bala Desejo\u003c\/strong\u003e, Dora showcases a new side to her solo productions on this special LP. Whereas Dora's first solo EP, \u003ci\u003eVento de Beirada\u003c\/i\u003e, was a leap of faith, \u003ci\u003ePique\u003c\/i\u003e sees her soaring as one of Brazil's standout stars, \u003cstrong\u003eemboldened, emphatic but ever elegant.\u003c\/strong\u003eBuilding bridges between past and present, it's a \u003cstrong\u003efunkier, more groove-based\u003c\/strong\u003e affair, weaved together with those signature, slower, celestial tracks. Touching on \u003cstrong\u003edisco, MPB, soul, R\u0026amp;B and jazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album is enriched with an indie pop aesthetic courtesy of fellow Brazilian star and \u003cstrong\u003eco-producer, Ana Frango Eletrico.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an \u003cstrong\u003eethereal, enveloping air\u003c\/strong\u003e few can match, Dora's gift shines through both the \u003cstrong\u003eserene and the spirited songs \u003c\/strong\u003econtained within. The blissful, sun-soaked 'Nao Vou Te Esquecer' opens, before the funk-fuelled, feel-good\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e'Venha Comigo' and 'Sim, Nao.' give a glimpse of the creativity bursting from the production partnership between Dora and Ana Frango Eletrico. Elsewhere, the album reclines into hazy lean-back realms via 'A Melhor Saida' and 'Petricor', virtuoso jazz funk in the form of 'VW Blue' and radiant MPB through the album's title track 'Pique'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drumming is tight, fresh and swung, the horns and strings deftly arranged, as funk-driven basslines and strutting guitars mesh with playful production touches that give an added vibrancy to the record. It is \u003cstrong\u003ean album that exhibits every side\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eof Dora\u003c\/strong\u003e and one she has been involved in from the ground up, from the songwriting, singing, arrangement and production to booking the studio time and sourcing the artwork designer, \u003cstrong\u003eMaria Cau Levy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn exchange of musical ideas powers every great scene and Rio's contemporary landscape is no different - a family of interconnected musicians and friends that collaborate on each other's productions. \u003ci\u003ePique\u003c\/i\u003e is graced by a wealth of these leading Brazilian lights including her \u003cstrong\u003eBala Desejo\u003c\/strong\u003e bandmates \u003cstrong\u003eLucas Nunes, Julia Mestre and Ze Ibarra\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as \u003cstrong\u003eGuilherme Lirio, Alberto Continentino and Tom Veloso\u003c\/strong\u003e to name just a handful. This exchange crosses generations merging tradition with modernity. In a full circle moment, Dora's parents \u003cstrong\u003ePaula and Jaques Morelenbaum\u003c\/strong\u003e, who featured in countless recordings from Tom Jobim's \u003cstrong\u003eNova Banda\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRyuichi Sakamoto to Gal Costa and Gilberto Gil\u003c\/strong\u003e, join on the album through backing vocals and arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePique\u003c\/i\u003e sees Dora embrace a freedom through fresh forms, showcasing the depth and diversity of her creative artistry.
