Anitta isn’t afraid to funk things up…
The 31-year-old Brazilian singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and occasional television host has released her latest album Funk Generation via Republic Records and Universal Music Latin Entertainment.
Singing in Spanish, Portuguese and English, the trilingual superstar doubles down on her efforts to globalize Brazilian funk with the new album.
The enthralling 15-track set (her third trilingual album) is a master class, as Anitta serves cheeky, club-ready dance songs that will have you grasping for air — a nod to her set opener “Lose Ya Breath.”
A fierce proponent of funk, Anitta has no intentions of adapting this music to mainstream or pop, she does quite the opposite introducing mainstream to a genre that breaks all the rules and thrives on experimentation.
For collaborations, she casts a wide net that catches artists including Brray, Bad Gyal, DENNIS, PEDRO SAMPAIO and Sam Smith.
“My new project is very special, because it signifies my intention to create an international funk album, something I’ve always dreamed of,” Anitta says in a statement. “It’s fulfilling to see that funk is now a source of inspiration and art in the global music scene — a genre with value, awards, and admiration.”
The set comes on the heels of her upcoming first-ever North American trek, set to kick off May 21
