This is the second solo album by Fernanda Abreu, after leaving the pop/rock band Blitz.
SLA is a reference to her surname, Sampaio de Lacerda Abreu.
A contemporary pop album with funk, dance, hip-hop, scratches, and rap.
Includes "Jorge da Capadócia," an old hit by Jorge Ben.
The lyrics (almost all originals) are infantile, but who cares in a danceable album? "Rio 40 Graus" is a model of modern provincialism; "O Estado das Coisas" deals with the old question: Are the ideas continually recreated or copied throughout the times? She prefers to believe in an interminable cycle of repetitions; distinguished philosophers (non-structuralist) would be happy in disagreeing.
Musically, the album has energetic danceable grooves with almost no Brazilian influence, simple melodies, and her singing -- which is a bit soulless, with a tendency for sameness, track after track.
The excellent production (Liminha) and contributions of guests still make this an appealing release for those dance parties.
