You may know Rodrigo Amarante already. You may have heard "Tuyo," his theme tune to the Netflix drama Narcos, or the Little Joy album, recorded with Fab Moretti and Binki Shapiro, you might have noted his name among the credits on songs by Gal Costa, Norah Jones and Gilberto Gil; or perhaps you saw him play live with Brazilian samba big band Orquestra Imperial, or with Rio rockers Los Hermanos; you really should have heard his debut album, Cavalo, released in 2014. You may think you know Rodrigo Amarante already, but Drama, his second solo album, is going to introduce a whole new level of confusion to the mix.Drama is purposefully caricatural, cinematic; "As biased as memory". It flows as an arch, playfully deceiving, like a tale. The ominous opening number gives you a hint that things might not be what they appear, and clues are hiding in plain sight. "Projection, attachment, deception: that is Drama.". The sunny upbeat start of "Maré", with a nearly childish opening melody, echoes something less naïf: "The tide will fetch what the ebb brings". The beat helps you move past. "Tango" sounds like falling in love on the dance floor, warm and tropical, it celebrates companionship, while perhaps pleading for it, yearning. "Tara," meanwhile, feels like something Astrud Gilberto might have sung at the height of bossa nova’s global popularity, with the twist of the big-band-era muted horns on the chorus, nearly self deprecating, as if mocking such idealized infatuation.Drama closes with the piano on "The End." To live is to fall. After all the emotional upheavals the singer has put his cast through, is this some kind of farewell to this mortal coil? "Everything Furthers." says Amarante. "Whispering, you get louder like that, people respond better to an invitation", and adds: "Staring at the absurd while remaining kind, being open to the gifts of confusion; that's why we create these tools that are stories and songs, to help us see each other."

<h3>Sofia Bolt </h3>"Amélie Rousseaux moved halfway across the world to heal, and it is a pleasure to hear her processing." - Pitchfork"It’s not easy to pull off a femme fatale vocal attitude but she convinces me, it’s intriguing." - Iggy Pop on BBC"‘Waves’ is a chamber pop beauty." - Stereogum"Bolt trades in understated indie rock." - The GuardianSofia Bolt, the project of songwriter/producer Amélie Rousseaux, is thrilled to announce her EP Soft Like a Peach, out February 4 on Bandini Records. The follow-up to her 2019 debut album, Waves, which drew praise from Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Pitchfork, and more. Rousseaux began releasing music as Sofia Bolt in her native France, winning acclaim for her early EPs from Rolling Stone and Noisey. In 2017, following a breakup, she relocated to Los Angeles and began recording music with a wide-ranging cast of collaborators, including the legendary songwriter/composer/arranger Van Dyke Parks. She most recently created the acclaimed soundtrack to Hedi Slimane’s CELINE W2020 collection.Soft Like a Peach presents pop melodies forever young and wise beyond their years, finding ways to soften, forgive and accept oneself with time and between two continents. The EP was recorded live in Los Angeles in the summer of 2021 by Amélie Rousseaux, Evan Taylor, Sean Cook, Cyrus Gengras, Jesse Quebbeman-Turley, Oliver Hill, Logan Hone, and Mark Yoshizumi.https://www.sofiabolt.com/https://www.instagram.com/sofiabolt/Doors open 1 hour prior to showtime.
