The new album by Carlão - Entertainment? - is released on September 14th.
In the words of Kalaf Epalanga, author of the text describing this disc, "in the confessional cadence that is undoubtedly already his signature, Carlão, in front of a mirror and looking forward to reflected image, spat the following:" ... I am only a legend in the my head / I'm just a lice in your head. " It ran the 02:45 minute of the title track and opens that "ENTERTAINMENT?" That it offers us in disk form. At that moment I imagined him in this intimate dialogue, in the confrontation between man and MC. In a game of show everything, where everything is image, idea and concept. Here assertive punchlines swarm: "Entertainment is king and everyone pays attention." Let the listener be dismayed to think that in the image reflected in the mirror, not ours as well; it's us who want to be entertained. It is also our hunger and the desire to eat. "
This album has 12 original songs, among them the singles "Agulha no Palheiro", "Viver Pra Semper" and the recently released "Contigo", whose video has already surpassed 1 million views. In exclusive, in the physical edition, Entertainment? also includes 4 bonus tracks that are part of the EP "Na Batalha".
In this context, according to Kalaf "lucidity, it is the term that best defines this set of songs. Carlão's albums have long been not limited to one genre alone. "And he adds," And although 12 is the perfect number to reveal the stories and questions that compose this "ENTERTAINMENT?", There is more to question, since we letter the confessions of the author when this reveals: "Maybe I still can make the record of life / Maybe I already did it on a lost night". And if this Spaniard believes that the best is yet to come, we have only to give him space as he strikes, and when the rhyme finally makes itself sound, we will only have to let ourselves flow. "
Entertainment? also has prominent guests such as António Zambujo, Manel Cruz, Slow J, among other artists and producers who help Carlão to question the current forms and context of entertainment in a critical and creative way as we have become accustomed.
