Sorriso Maroto releases the new album and bets on the nostalgic project


‘Como Antigamente’ is the novelty of the pagodas group and will soon have a surprise track

With almost 25 years of career, bad smile presents his 15th album, like old times. Despite the title, the release is a collection of 13 unreleased songs, without collaborations and faithful to the melodic and romantic characteristics of the group’s early days. “The big difference compared to the other albums is to do the same, to take a different step from everything we have done recently. Sorriso is to be himself, authentic in his main characteristic, offering 100% of his truth and ability to make music. anyway, “the singer points out Bruno Cardoso.

The novelty, present on all audio platforms, has clips available on Youtube. The images, recorded at the Polo Cine Vídeo, in Rio de Janeiro, show a minimalist aesthetic, in a scenario with photos of each member (Bruno, Sergio, Cris, Vini and Fred) at the beginning of their career, today and when it would be elder.

According to the singer, all the construction of the images, as well as the title of the album and its tracks, were designed to cause the same “good side effects of the past”, with “a feeling of vintage music”. “It’s a timeline, almost metaverse, of looking for the Bad Smile of yesteryear, included in the image, as well as reading how we can be in the future,” he explains.

Despite the release of the 13 tracks, the album brings a future novelty, which should be released at the turn of this year to 2023. Bruno says the surprise is “the essence of the group with the icing on the cake”. “The fourteenth track is a second moment of the album, after we have already presented the album and people have already understood the proposal. This second phase brings a different flavor, an experience of modernity within our classic characteristics” , says the singer.

The next steps of the group

the title track, like old times, is highlighted among the most special for members. Composed this year by Bruno and Sérgio Jr., the song came after the production of the album, unlike other projects, which are usually built from a ready-made song. This time, all the tracks on the disc served as inspiration for such a composition. Romantic texts portray a journey through time to see the future next to your loved one.

It doesn’t stop there. In addition to the new album, the group is planning a special project to commemorate the 25th anniversary, as well as a sporadic event called Old fashioned smile, which should start shortly. The latest action will be punctuated by shows based on the band’s classic repertoire.

From the appeal emerged the idea of ​​leading the public on a “journey into the past” highlighted, above all, in a live one held in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, with 1.4 million simultaneous accesses. According to the singer, at the time, the “different movement” was clear when they played the old songs.

Old music vs current hits

Retro style and nostalgia are on the rise in many ways, especially in music. Bruno believes that the reason why these non-current songs still have such an effect is the maturation time, which can take years, for certain songs to be understood as a repertoire of certain moments in someone’s life.

He also comments on the difference between the old songs of singers considered “roots”, such as Sorriso Maroto, in relation to the new middle names. “I credit these differences to the impact of the new moment. We make this comparison naturally, as a reference point of what it was, what it is and where we can go. It is interesting to understand that music as a whole has undergone a very big transformation, not just the pagoda, “he reflects.

Another strong point is the difference in the compositions. If in the past the concern was to tell a story, currently the focus is on short passages, typical of specific moments, such as parties. “It is not the artist’s fault, it is that the industry in general has changed a lot, the behavior of the listener has also changed. Today we have a ‘war’ with digital platforms, for example, for the establishment of some standards, which are interesting for consumption within the platform, but for us it is not enough to deliver 2.5-minute songs, this time it is practically impossible to tell a story, to create sensations “, he concludes.
