Sessa,
the
São
Paulo
musician
known
for
his
enchanting
debut
album
Grandeza,
returns
with
an
expansive
collection
of
songs
built
with
reverence
for
the
deep
historical
traditions
of
Brazilian
music,
now
adorned
with
elegant
strings,
cascades
of
hypnotic
rhythm,
and
his
seductive
backing
choir.
While
Grandeza
is
about
the
softness
of
the
human
body,
and
the
drunkenness
of
being
in
love,
Estrela
Acesa
surrounds
love’s
fragility,
and
the
hangover
of
it
all.
Recorded
between
June
and
September
2021
in
Ilhabela
and
Piracaia,
Brazil,
and
New
York
City,
the
twelve
songs
of
Estrela
Acesa,
which
translates
to
"Burning
Star",
are
inspired
by
the
majesty
of
being
a
witness
to
and
an
agent
of
life.
Estrela
Acesa
is
music
about
music,
and
for
that
it
is
drenched
in
melancholy
and
the
mystery
of
night.
Sessa’s
songs
are
sung
in
Portuguese,
with
visceral,
sensual
lyrics,
and
melodic
flourishes
not
unlike
those
of
Tom
Jobim.
However,
the
music
gets
a
deliberate
minimalist
treatment
rarely
found
in
contemporary
Brazilian
music,
more
reminiscent
of
the
bareness
of
Leonard
Cohen.
