the rapper Carioca BK’ comes with many new features in this second semester. Awarded the Bronze Lion at the 70th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, with the album ICARUS, the artist continues to publicize the project, giving fans a special gift: the broadcast of the show that opened the tour.
On August 17, at 9 pm, the historic event that took place in January at the Fundição Progresso will be broadcast only once, on the artist’s official YouTube channel. The show featured appearances by Marina Sena, with whom she has the song “Se eu não remembrance”; Luccas Carlos, from “Music of Love Never Again” and “Plans” (2018); Julia Mestre, from “Just call me”; and Bebé, from “In the name of what I hear”.
“Ever since the launch of ICARUS we have been on this mission to further increase the visibility of this project. And I think it is working. We are trending with the song Amanhecer, we received an award in Cannes, we will start now with the tour in Europe and we have a lot of new things coming up until the end of the year. This broadcast of the show is one of them,” says BK´.
The song “Amanhecer” remains one of the most popular audio in videos on Instagram and TikTok, as a background for inspirational videos. On Reels there are already more than 3 thousand videos, and on TikTok there are over 17 thousand uses with the excerpt “And in the end my dream is the same, Family, barbecue in the garden. Watch my team in the final , Thanking you for the funeral away from life. And faith for it”.
The rapper won the Bronze Lion at the 70th edition of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity with ICARUS, in the Design category, with the creation of a new brand identity. The album, released in November 2022, makes an analogy between the myth of Icarus and life in contemporary metropolises. In addition to the musical production, ICARUS was presented at the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR), through an artwork created by Nikolas Demurtas — painted in oil — reinterpreting the canvas of O Voo de Ícaro, by Jacob Peter Gowy (1636 – 1638).
In less than eight months, the most popular song from this album, “Music of Love Never Again”, became the second biggest hit on BK’s YouTube channel, with 14 million views. The record holder is “Planos”, from 2018, with 65 million plays. The large size of this launch was also reflected in the numbers and rankings achieved. ICARUS added over 35 million streams on audio platforms in the first month (currently over 100 million) and placed seven of his songs among the 100 viral songs on Spotify Brazil, with two in the top ten positions.
On the agenda, BK´ starts the day August 31 for Europewhere he will perform in Lisbon, Coimbra, Porto, followed by Madrid, Paris, Dublin and London.
