Songwriter, MC and visual auteur Tassia Reis released her debut EP in 2014, introducing listeners to her lush vocals, languid bars and assured distillation of class divides and female autonomy. The time she spent studying fashion in São Paulo reveals itself in complex visual concepts that elevate her artistry. Drawing on the influence of Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone and Ray Charles, she elides samba and soul with disco flutters and trap beats, sketching sounds guided by heart and hope.
