Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Strong, repeatable grooves and a clear Brazilian funk identity carry the album; its steady dance pulse gives it cohesion without much dramatic change in pace.
What we noticed
- The first three tracks move from the brisker opener through “Acenda o farol” into “Sossego,” whose repeated vocal hook rides a persistent funk groove.
- “All I Want” switches to English after four Portuguese-language tracks, then the album returns to Portuguese for the remaining five.
- Bass and drums keep the songs anchored in a dance pulse while horns and keyboards punctuate the vocal lines rather than replacing them with long instrumental breaks.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
