A singer with the musical talent, the knowledge, the taste and the technical maturity of Roberta Sá needs no motive to sing. She sings because she likes to; she sings what she likes (Brazilian music!); and she sings for those who appreciate her. Period.
However, in her second album, Que belo estranho dia para se ter alegria (“What a strange, beautiful day to be happy”), Roberta clearly has further intentions: to show that her/our beloved Brazilian songs are still alive, present, interesting. Roberta seems to offer her own view of what defines contemporariness in Brazilian music. This ambition is evidently spread throughout the songs, without ever compromising their nonchalant fluidity.
Not by chance, she lifts the album’s title from a verse found in a discrete masterpiece from the lyrical and strange universe of Pernambuco composer Lula Queiroga, a bossa nova called “Belo Estranho Dia de Amanhã” [“Strange, Beautiful Tomorrow”]. Its curvaceous melody and dissonant harmony bear verses that reveal the lyrical intention of the album, as well as Roberta’s idea of what Brazilian music is: “The argument has lost its reason/We’ll have more time to spend together/We’ll have more time to go crazy”.
In an apocalyptic day when “politicians will lose their voices”, the song deftly uses contemporary elements — “News will lose control of the facts/Celebrities will slip into anonymity/Deformed words/Blurry pictures will cross the Atlantic/Blank newspapers will hit the stands/Plane plasma
screens will dissolve” — that perfectly serve Roberta’s purpose of showing that, yes, Brazilian music is very much alive and a twenty-something woman can express herself through it.

Não gosto muito de intérpretes, mas ela realmente é daqueles que se destacam, cantando de uma forma nova e própria composições já conhecidas, assim como a Cássia Eller fazia. E não tem como não se render a essa voz! Aguardo pelo show dela em BH esta semana.
