I’m a huge Seu Jorge fan so I was excited to hear about his upcoming project with Almaz (drummer Pupillo and guitarist Lucio Maia from the stalwart Nação Zumbi, with bassist and composer Antonio Pinto). Apparently they worked on a track together for a Walter Salles film and enjoyed the experience so much that they decided to record a full-length album together that will be released by Now Again on July 27. Covering famous Brazilian tunes as well as some American and European soul classics, their first single is a cover of the Roy Ayers anthem “Everybody Loves the Sunshine,” and if this is any indicator of the entire album, I can’t wait for it to drop. Loving the artwork with all of this too.
You can read more about the project here and listen to the first single below.
