Take OutKast's Speakerboxxx \/ The Love Below or Primal Scream's Screamadelica, they observe, study, and then flip what an album can mean to a genre or moment in time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the very first listen of Rubel’s \u003cstrong\u003eLatin Grammy-nominated\u003c\/strong\u003e third album As Palavras, Vol. 1 \u0026amp; 2, you can feel its transformative force for the MPB genre. Here we see one of Rio’s brightest stars, fusing the contemporary with the classic, soaking up the richness of Brazil’s musical heritage. The result is a marauding 20-track epic, incorporating traditional styles such as \u003cstrong\u003eforró, MPB, pagode and samba with modern baile funk, rasteirinha and hip-hop.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album exudes a sense of freedom and creativity, playfully and provocatively juggling the familiar with the forward-thinking. The tracks are divided across two records, navigating feelings of love, heartbreak and discovery, whilst balancing themes of violence, passion, irony and affection. Collaborating with some of the country’s most esteemed artists such as \u003cstrong\u003eGabriel do Borel, Liniker, Luedji Luna, Tim Bernardes and Ana Caetano\u003c\/strong\u003e, Rubel takes this fusion of styles, subjects and flavours to the global stage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grand, forró-blending, choral opener, ‘Forró Violento (Instrumental)’ sets the tone for the album, with references and links between tradition and modernity everywhere to be seen. From the \u003cstrong\u003eAna Frango Elétrico\u003c\/strong\u003e produced, funk flexing, samba-soul brilliance of ‘Não Vou Reclamar de Deus’, to the album’s title cut ‘As Palavras’, in collaboration with \u003cstrong\u003eTim Bernardes\u003c\/strong\u003e, that melds MPB influences with electronic elements and hip-hop touches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross both sides of the album, Rubel’s story-telling gift is given space to shine. ‘Torto Arado’ featuring \u003cstrong\u003eLiniker and Luedji Luna\u003c\/strong\u003e, beautifully references the racial injustice, tragedy, hope and ambition found in one the most celebrated Brazilian novels of recent times by \u003cstrong\u003eItamar Vieira Júnior\u003c\/strong\u003e. Elsewhere, ‘Na Mão do Palhaço’ manifests a satirical march about a suicidal conservative middle-aged man, who is rescued by the miracle of the carnival. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt times the album is gentle and intimate with tracks like ‘Toda Beleza’ featuring \u003cstrong\u003eBala Desejo\u003c\/strong\u003e, or the ode to friendship ‘Lua de Garrafa’, composed with the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eMilton Nascimento\u003c\/strong\u003e. At others, the grooves hit harder, with sounds from the favelas laced within. ‘Put@ria!’, explores the universe of baile funk, with \u003cstrong\u003eBK’ and MC Carol\u003c\/strong\u003e trading off on the mic, as ‘Rubelía’ moves between reggaeton, funk, and hip hop. The latter is a tribute to a key influence of the album, Spanish star \u003cstrong\u003eRosalía\u003c\/strong\u003e and her parallel mix of current with classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately though the beauty of this album lies in its concept. In the midst of a country divided, ‘As Palavras Vol. 1 \u0026amp; 2’ sets out to bring together genres and generations, grounded in rhythms and words that have helped \u003cstrong\u003edefine Brazil through the ages.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8ynBZGCXN-A?si=nXgkBesgsvElnrFm\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fP8AT3EbiSY?si=atjn_Ff2nkg44v3o\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aZz0Y1hbMrM?si=yrmEWgte4Vq8e7AX\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubel","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":58738391417216,"sku":"MRBLP306","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Limited Edition Neon Pink 2LP","offer_id":58738391449984,"sku":"MRBLP306P","price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58738391482752,"sku":"MRBCD306","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/1384\/1792\/files\/MRBLP306Rubel_Shopify_Square.jpg?v=1787213552","url":"https:\/\/vinylvers.com\/products\/as-palavras-vol-1-2-vinyl-2lp-cd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
