As torchbearer of the booming baile-funk movement from Brazil, Dani Russo represents a sound that’s rebellious, individualistic and brazenly urban. Switching roles between poignant serenader and gritty rhyme-slinger with ease, she’s a pop-friendly vocal chameleon backed by adrenaline-packed instrumentals. Her songs bombard the listener with charming melodic hooks, cheeky hip-hop samples, sub-bass growls and twitchy tempos engineered for the dance floor.
