Liniker – Baby95

While carrying on the tradition of MPB, Linn da Quebrada from São Paulo state embodies the brilliance of contemporary Brazilian music as it intersects with soul and R&B.

Singing of love and dignity from the perspective of a Black transgender woman, her expression captures listeners’ hearts and doesn’t let go.

The work introduced here is a track released in June 2021 ahead of the album Indigo Borboleta Anil, which marked the full-fledged start of her solo career; it went on to achieve the remarkable feat of winning Best Portuguese-Language Song at the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards.

Evoking the warmth of intimate love and self-acceptance through images of nature—shimmering sun and sea—the piece is truly a masterpiece where the lyricism of MPB meets contemporary grooves.

Its refined yet somehow nostalgic sound is perfect for a leisurely listen on a holiday afternoon.

Marisa Monte – Beija Eu

Marisa Monte freely traverses the traditions of Brazilian music and a contemporary pop sensibility.

Not only a singer but also an accomplished composer and producer, she has been hailed by Rolling Stone Brazil as “the most important living singer in the country.” Here, we introduce the opening track from her landmark album Mais, released in March 1991, which marked the full-fledged start of her career as a singer-songwriter.

The song, which expresses an intimate desire to gently ask a lover for a kiss, beautifully matches her whispery, translucent vocals with a subtly complex, shimmering rhythm.

Produced by Arto Lindsay and featuring contributions from Ryuichi Sakamoto, the album offers an urban, sophisticated sound that is irresistibly pleasing.

It went on to sell over 710,000 copies, cementing her reputation.

In the screamo scene of the 2000s, the Michigan-based band Chiodos stood out as particularly distinctive.

This track from their debut album, All’s Well That Ends Well, represents the very essence of screamo, where beauty and ferocity intersect.

It opens with a delicate piano melody, only to unleash, in the next moment, anguished screams and a storm of guitar riffs upon the listener.

This dizzying interplay of quiet and explosive passages seems to portray the despair of a relationship falling apart and the uncontrollable anger in the face of betrayal.

Released in July 2005, the album received such acclaim that it reached No.

3 on the new artist chart.
