Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Strong, sharply arranged songs give the record character; its shifts between buoyant samba and reflective ballads make for a lively but not fully unified sequence.
What we noticed
- The opener, “Vou deitar e rolar,” launches on brisk samba percussion and brass, setting a buoyant pace that the album repeatedly interrupts with slower songs.
- “As curvas da estrada de Santos” pulls the energy back into a measured ballad, while “Frevo” turns toward a more sharply accented dance rhythm.
- “These Are Songs” switches to English late in the sequence; “Comunicação” then restores the Brazilian pop momentum before the closing “Copacabana velha de guerra.”

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.
