Cynthia Luz Essentials

Singer-songwriter Cynthia Luz’s musings offer late-night comfort for nocturnal souls. Aching ballad “Sejas Bem Feliz” layers raspy vocals over slow-burning R&B rhythms, and “Meu Problema” is shrouded in smouldering, swivelling raps. Encounters with beatmakers and MCs on tracks like Froid’s “Garota” and Pedro Qualy’s “Desmoronar” colour her catalogue with highly emotive, spellbinding hip-hop hues. She also joins laid-back popsters Lagum for “Eu Não Valho Nada”, a mid-tempo, guitar-laden ode to love.
