Chimères by Julia Piedade
In her first solo project, Julia Piedade delivers an intense French-Brazilian pop experience, exploring the contrast between sun-drenched electro-tropical colors and the sophisticated melancholy of a jazz-infused piano.
The modern arrangements by the album’s producer, Diogo Strausz, bring a freshness Brazilian groove paired with electronic textures, perfectly contrasting with Julia’s jazz harmonies and the orchestral arrangements composed by Acácio Piedade. Together, these elements create a truly unique sound.
The album’s delicate and spiritual narrative traces Julia’s journey, as she embraces her uprooted identity through music and poetry infused with mystical symbols, taking the listener on a dreamy voyage under the tropics.
Released under Believe, the album features artistic direction by Yoli Inácio.
