KAMIKAZE TOTAL
How to create an album in the midst of dystopia, with so many women being attacked?
With our rights being plundered, our bodies watched. A song sung in first-person in order to
give voice to a phalanx. To be sung in the trench, from within of the bonfire, in the eye of the hurricane, evoking the strength of our ancestors, our current lives and those to come. done
before the current president declared himself unbroken on a date civic, the lyrics scream “bruised ego, brocha”. My partnership with Liniker and Victor Hugo.

After recording all the basic tracks in São Paulo at the Estúdio Brocal, we went to Rio de Janeiro for the next step: to record all the keyboards of the album with Jonas Sá, an enthusiastic analogue synths collector. In Kamikaze Total, we did use a peculiar feature: to trigger the keyboard arpeggiator from a external sign. The feature is blatantly inspired by
"Temporary Secretary",a song recorded by Paul on his album McCartney II. The backing and vocal arrangements sound like a mantra. Almost breathless. Breathtaking.

lyrics
KAMIKAZE TOTAL
I scare you all, I smell snuff, hit!
I deal with whatever, I devour it
You could bring anything, I swallow
Gala, gluttony, I swear
I'm total kamikaze, a little coward are you Rock cracked, royal feud
Bruised ego, impotent
Me for myself
I am leather and flower
And I live without lies
Trust me
The carapace won’t be pierced
I'm not today, it finished
If you want cake, then you took it, it finished Me for myself
In the fire I go
On earth I go
windy
You have to do it to deserve it
And I don't like many
I like very few
I'm few and good
And when I go, it's supposed to be nice
Me for myself
In the fire I go
On earth I go
It’s finished
