Alici - Frutas (Black Vinyl)
Alici is a singer and multi-instrumentalist currently living in New York City, but she
wants you to know that her heart, and her ear, are firmly located in her home country of Brazil. She was born and raised in the
sprawling metropolis of Belo Horizonte, and safe to say the city's sights, sounds, and essence left a lasting impression on her. Alici has
made it her mission to spread bossa nova, the iconic musical language created in Brazil in the 1950s, to a new generation of music
fans in America and around the world. Having been raised on the vinyl of Gal Costa, Tim Maia, Evinha and more, she is now creating a
sound both timeless and forward thinking. On her debut 7" Frutas / Can't Keep My Plants Alive, which features analog production from
Philadelphia's Eraserhood Sound, Alici showcases her unique, soulful, bossa-influenced guitar style. The A side "Frutas" is an uptempo
burner featuring a lush string arrangement, while the B side "Can't Keep My Plants Alive" is a slinky yet confident strutter replete with
guitar solo outro. She uses her smokey, sultry voice to sing in both Portuguese and English, painting simple yet powerful portraits of
what it means to be young and finding one's way in modern times. Grab a copy of this exciting double A side
