Amor Doente\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloating into our inbox on the East winds came a \u003cstrong\u003emysterious bunch of tracks \u003c\/strong\u003eby a mesmerising new act called \u003cstrong\u003eCurió Curió\u003c\/strong\u003e, which we simply couldn’t ignore. Named after a vibrant Brazilian songbird, Curió Curió consists of singer, lyricist, and actress \u003cstrong\u003eLuiza Monteiro\u003c\/strong\u003e, based in Austria, and producer and musician \u003cstrong\u003eDustin Braun \u003c\/strong\u003efrom Germany. Together, the duo brings a fresh voice and a \u003cstrong\u003etwist on MPB\u003c\/strong\u003e, taking influences from \u003cstrong\u003e1970s Brazil\u003c\/strong\u003e and blending them into a modern fusion of\u003cstrong\u003e psychedelic, MPB, disco, and samba. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurió Curió’s vocalist, Luiza Monteiro, was born in \u003cstrong\u003eRio de Janeiro, Brazil\u003c\/strong\u003e, and raised listening to the rich sounds of MPB. She started taking\u003cstrong\u003e classical singing lessons \u003c\/strong\u003eweekly by the age of 14, and later developed a \u003cstrong\u003ecareer in acting\u003c\/strong\u003e, skills of which she brings with her into her songwriting. You may be familiar with \u003cstrong\u003eDustin’s production \u003c\/strong\u003ethrough his recent collaborations with the \u003cstrong\u003eTurkish artist Peki Momés \u003c\/strong\u003eon Mocambo Records, or by his earlier incarnations, including a neo-soul release on \u003cstrong\u003eSichtexot\u003c\/strong\u003e and projects with \u003cstrong\u003eVillage Live Records\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHHV\u003c\/strong\u003e's record label. His music has a tangible analogue warmth and a feeling of a real band performing live. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this 7-inch release, ‘Bem Querer’ (‘Beloved’ in English) takes the A side. In it, Luiza calls a missed love to come close and dance with her. Even without an understanding of Portuguese, this \u003cstrong\u003efeeling and energy radiates throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e the production; one of partying together, loving each other, living in ecstasy, feeling pleasure, and freedom. Built on an\u003cstrong\u003e authentic samba street vibe\u003c\/strong\u003e with a super catchy sing-along chorus, that collective, carnival energy comes in part due to the choir that Dustin and Luiza assembled. A group of Brazilian friends, some of whom Dustin met whilst DJing in Leipzig, joined together in the studio. Half of them were non-professional singers, bringing that \u003cstrong\u003eorganic atmosphere of Rio’s streets to the recording.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-side ‘Amor Doente’ has a more bitter-sweet taste; the song speaks playfully about a relationship that goes on without really developing. Both parties cannot fully commit to each other, but they are also unable to end it. The production, however, has a \u003cstrong\u003edelicious loose funk groove\u003c\/strong\u003e, sun-soaked and sultry. Dustin wrote the instrumental with \u003cstrong\u003eLucy Liebe\u003c\/strong\u003e, who joins on bass, guitar, synths, and trumpet, with \u003cstrong\u003eMax Löbner \u003c\/strong\u003ealso featuring on trumpet. A track that is equally adept at warming up a dancefloor as it is closing out a night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were genuinely blown away by the \u003cstrong\u003evibrancy and joy of this new project \u003c\/strong\u003ewhen we first heard it, instantly feeling like a familiar friend. In the band's own words, “Curió Curió is not straight disco, not straight samba, not strictly old-school but inspired by all of them, creating something contemporary but still nostalgic\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kc0WGQoWloY?si=ZQOPvX6ytKxo2uTH\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TqWXQz_kWms?si=82pIgunVJvlwp9K-\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curió Curió","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 7\"","offer_id":58738307826048,"sku":"MRB7236","price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/1384\/1792\/files\/curio-actual-sq.jpg?v=1787212744","url":"https:\/\/vinylvers.com\/products\/bem-querer-amor-doente-vinyl-7","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
