With two critically acclaimed albums and a swathe of award-winning production turns under their belt, Ana Frango Eletrico present their most confdent and accomplished work to date: Me Chama De Gato Que Eu Sou Sua / Call Me They That I'm Yours Gesturing to a tradition of Brazilian boogie music, but bouncing with modern pop ebullience, the album sees the Rio artist evolve from a captivating upstart into a surefooted scene leader in full stride. At just 25, the prolifc artist and producer has already garnered worldwide admirers. Ana's sophomore Little Electric Chicken Heart was nominated at the 2020 Latin Grammys. Since then, standalone singles have received the WME 'Best Music Producer' Award, recognising Ana's deep passion for music production - a passion which has led to collaborations with nascent Brazilian stars Dora Morelenbaum, Illy and Sophia Chablau. Most recently, Ana was hailed for their co-production of Bala Desejo's 2022 Latin Grammy-winning album Sim Sim Sim. The new albumfnds Ana at their most assured and full voiced. Album opener "Electric Fish", with funky bass and shimmering backing vocals, sets a buoyant tone. "Boy of Stranger Things" is its bombastic counterpart. It's the grooviest Ana has ever sounded. And the most brazen. Lyrically, where Ana was once oblique on personal matters, they are now forthright - lucidly exploring their gender identity, citing accessible cultural references, and often singing in English. "I started this album in 2021 with the intention of showing, in means of sound, understandings and feelings about queer love, subjectively exposing myself," the non- binary artist states - before qualifying that though "feeling was its driving force, the album is really about musical production." "There's so many references to different decades,"Ana explains."Seventies drums with eighties processing ... Going back, getting beyond ... Testing the limits of organic sounds". Characteristically playful, on Me Chama, Ana takes vivid and rewarding detours through funk- infected R&B ("Dela") and art pop ("Dr. Sabe Tudo"). "Nuvem Vermelha" is a cinematic chanson with lush strings that recalls Arthur Verocai. Then, "Coisa Maluca" loafs with the indie insouciance of Canadian slacker Mac Demarco. Later, "Let's Go Before Again", is a full-on drum machine workout evocative of Stereolab. "Even if people don't fnd my own references here, they'll fnd theirs," observes Ana. "Maybe that's this record's biggest goal."
Tracks: Electric Fish / Dela / Nuvem Vermelha / Coisa Maluca / Boy Of Stranger Things / Camelo Azul / Insista em Mim / Let's Go To Before Again / Debaixo do Pano / Dr. Sabe Tudo
