A pele do futuro

Gal Costa

A shimmering fusion of 1970s disco-soul and modern Brazilian pop. Gal's crystalline soprano glides over lush strings and infectious, funk-driven basslines.

A pele do futuro is a radiant celebration of longevity and reinvention. It finds Gal Costa, one of the most vital voices in Brazilian history, embracing the glitter and groove of 1970s black music through a contemporary lens. The album feels like a high-end discotheque in the heart of São Paulo: the air is thick with the scent of expensive perfume, the floors are polished to a mirror shine, and the music is a masterclass in sophisticated joy. It is an album that demands movement but rewards deep, attentive listening to its intricate arrangements.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden explosion of four-on-the-floor disco energy on the opening track Sublime.
The hauntingly beautiful vocal blend between Gal and Maria Bethania on the track Minha Mae.
The way the funk bassline locks into the orchestral strings during the bridge of Vida que Segue.
The unexpected but seamless transition into sofrência pop during the collaboration with Marília Mendonça.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
