Music

This album of Fresno, contrary to what one might think, no party in the heart of the beholder. Even though the letters are full of anguish... It is more or less this line of reasoning. There is heat in the darkness.
After a debut set the expectations for this release won a mega size, tempered by the release of the single virtual "Onde Está" here that is also present as one of the highlights. In truth, it is difficult to clamp individual standouts, as we have a sound example of consistency, especially in the lyrics, making the work almost conceptual.
But remember the presence of new elements such as guitars and keyboards on some tracks, especially the beautiful and revealing "Verdades Que Tanto Guardei". The competence of the musicians is already proven, no need to rip silk, but it is remarkable the maturing of the vocal work of Paraíba, sooner the better guitarist than singer, now good with both.
There are 12 themes that deal with what any good fan of Fresno expect: Love afflictions that, on the one hand make you teary-eyed, also renewed hope. Of course there is something more important than love in life, but not better. And Paraíba, which makes all the letters, should know well.
