Since
tonight the Euro 2016 finals will be played between Portugal and France it
seemed appropriate to highlight an artist from one of these countries. Given
that I already showcased a French singer in an earlier post I decided to pick a
Portuguese artist today. The only problem is that my vast music collection does
not contain any Portuguese artists.
Fortunately
I've got the next best thing; a Brazilian artist (they speak Portuguese, so
close enough...).
Anitta
debuted in 2013 but only gained some attention in her own country Brazil,
Spain, Portugal and Argentina. Her big breakthrough came with the release of Bang, which currently has over 200
million views on YouTube. This was also the first video I saw of Anitta. In the
beginning I was a bit sceptical of it since the video clearly focused on other
'features' besides her singing. But later that week I still couldn't get the
song out of my head, so I decided to check out other songs of her. Many of her
songs are happy and upbeat while some, like her most recent single Cravo e Canela, have a more slow R&B
beat. I would describe them as perfect summer songs.
Other
favourite songs: Deixa Ele Sofrer, Essa Mina É Louca, and Volta Amor.

songs, check out her YouTube channel.
