With commentary and lyrics *Commentary: Artist introduction by Jin Nakanishi and Caetano Veloso / Includes translation

Highly praised by Caetano Veloso! A beautiful female acoustic pop masterpiece reminiscent of the post-Marisa Monchi era!

Also includes newly written songs by Caetano and Adrina Calcagnotto!
Co-produced by Gilberto Gil's son Ben Gil and Domenico Lancellotti!
A brilliant fusion of beautiful vocals and a playful, ambitious sound!

"Ana Claudia comes from a special world of her own. A true singer, an original and an artist of her own making." -- Caetano Veloso

The solo debut album of talented Ana Claudia Lomelino, who debuted in 2009 as the vocalist of TONO, a notable experimental pop band from Rio de Janeiro, has been released in Japan! Caetano Veloso, who is her childhood idol and biggest musical influence, also fell in love with her talent and provided a new song "Não sei amar", as well as "Bem Feito" by the genius Adriana Calcagnot, also known as the "female Caetano"! Produced by Ben Gil, who is TONO's colleague and her husband, and co-produced by Domenico Lancelotti and Bruno de Rulo, also of TONO. In addition, the ambitious and playful acoustic pop sound is played by the central players of the new generation of Rio artists, such as Berna Sepas, who is also known as a collaborator with Arto Lindsay, and Pedro Sar, the talented guitarist of the Caetano band, making for an ironclad lineup. However, the most amazing thing is Ana Claudia herself, with her lovely and beautiful singing voice like Marisa Monte and her ephemeral yet pop melodies that are extremely comfortable and melt away the more you listen to them.... The original sound that combines a pure and simple world of lyrics with cutting-edge acoustic aesthetics is a must-listen not only for fans of Brazilian music, but also for fans of indie rock!
