But amongst the simplicity, the compositions, arrangements and productions on \u003ci\u003eNo Reino Dos Afetos\u003c\/i\u003e tingle with nuance and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the contemporary R\u0026amp;B inspired lead single 'Quero Dizer' - produced by Berle and longtime friend and collaborator Batata Boy - the swirling, lo-fi, kalimba and guitar-fronted beat is turned into a feel-good hit by the ingenuity of Berle's honey-soaked vocal melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowerfully intimate, 'O Nome Do Meu Amor' (My Love's Name) is a guaranteed tearjerker, with Berle's stunning voice soaring over gently plucked acoustic guitar and the textural flutter of soft movement, as if we hear him writing the song in the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon a close-knit, collaborative scene of Maceio artists and musicians, (of which Berle and Batata Boy are vital members), Berle also recorded some of his friends songs on the album, including Joao Menezes' 'Ate Meu Violao', the album's beautifully laid back sunshine soul opener, which has all the charm of early-70s Joao Donato.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving cut his teeth in soft-rock group Troco em Bala, and more recently finding himself embedded in both Rio and Sao Paulo's contemporary music scenes - collaborating with the likes of Ana Frango Eletrico, who took the photo for the album cover - \u003ci\u003eNo Reino Dos Afetos\u003c\/i\u003e is as musically diverse as Bruno himself. It's hazy indie rock ('E Preciso Ter Amor'), calming ambient and field recording ('Virginia Talk') as well as Berle's own take on West African High Life ('Som Nyame').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419494797697,"sku":"2467674","price":29.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5065007965641.jpg?v=1750562258","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2467674","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
