The first edition of the Replay Festival, dedicated to the first decade of the 2000s, arrives in Rio de Janeiro on October 28th and in Sao Paulo on November 4th; the singer performs on both dates
For those who have followed the older phases of popular music, the expression “2000s pop revival” may not make much sense – we are still living in these times, after all. But if we use the term to refer only to the first decade of the century – surprisingly two more decades have already followed -, things start to go in the right direction: yes, we feel nostalgic for those times (which weren’t yesterday) and for the success of artists such as Cine, KLB, CPM 22, Felipe Dylon and the teenage daughter of Zezé di Camargo, a… Wanessa.
Only a few days left until Play again Festival disembark in Sao Paulo, Wanessa Camargo follows the “powerful, bold” line for his show, which promises to be a journey to the height of the 2000s. The idea of the festival is to make the audience “press” REPLAY and go back in time during the performances in Rio (28/10) and Sao Paulo (04/11).
In an interview with Estadao, Wanessa says the 2000s are always with her. “The music Because love doesn’t let go It can’t leave my repertoire, for example. And a festival with this atmosphere is really nice. I’ll look for a super 2000s playlist, which is what brought me here. From the costumes to the presentation, it will be a lot of fun,” she says, laughing.
Wanessa’s repertoire for Replay promises to please old fans – who by the way suffered a bit at the sound of some hits of the time: “Love doesn’t let it happen, In love with you AND I can hear you They are three very strong songs from my first year as a singer and are still successful today. Obviously they are part of my repertoire, but I will also revisit this more nostalgic phase, with songs from my first 10 years of career.”
Besides her, the festival also brings names like the band Cinema, KLB, CPM22, Philip Dylon, Valesca Popozuda, Sean Kingston and other artists who marked the era. Guilherme Wolff, executive director of the TAJ|TOY group and organizer of the Replay Festival, explains the idea of revisiting the 2000s and pressing “REPLAY”.
“We want to create vivid memories and new memories there. And achieving this became easier because we were living in the 2000s and the festival is a way to expand memories of that time. As well as embracing the audience’s nostalgia for that period,” he explains.
People like us, Wanessa Camargo doesn’t hide her enthusiasm for the Replay line-up and is ready to enjoy (and meet) some artists at the two presentations. “When I started I met many of the people who will also go on the Replay stage. We met many times on television, but today everything has changed. I haven’t seen some of them for a while, I still meet others. But it will be nice also being able to have fun,” he says.
For her performances she promises to revisit one of the most missed phases, which, according to her, is adolescence: “Music transports us to the moment in which we live and I think it will be a very pleasant journey through time with good memories. I think that Everyone in the world misses this phase, which is very rich and full of firsts, and must be remembered with great affection.”
The Wanessa of pop
It is impossible not to notice a musical diversity in the rhythms of Wanessa Camargo’s songs – which has already crossed the Anglophile electronica of “Shine it on”, the suffering feminejo of “Coração intoxicagado” and the spicy pop of “Mulher-Gato”. But she claims she never gave up pop in her career. Indeed, the singer describes the history of “country pop”, for example, as a “mistake because I always liked pop”.
“My pop has always moved between the matrices of Latin music, American pop music and a bit of electronica. These aspects have always been present in all my work, but I have never left pop as they said,” He says.
Wanessa explains that it all started after the album was released 33 as country pop by WorkShow, but sees it as “a big mistake in the marketing strategy because they shouldn’t have labeled this album”.
“It’s not just country music, it’s a romantic album and that’s where this story started that I was changing my style. And I have a more pop, romantic, electronic album… It’s normal that, in 23 years of career, This transition of styles happens, but my work has always been pop”, he explains.
Although she emphasizes that pop is what “dominates her heart”, Wanessa Camargo does not hide her happiness in having all this musical plurality in her career: “I love it. It’s what moves me. Being able to listen to new things, watch for different things, participating in productions and being present in this process. I think this plurality of sounds is what enchants me and I consider these ‘mixes’ a characteristic of my work.”
Is Wanessa Camargo a cousin of the KLB guys?
With the musical nostalgia of the 2000s, some false theories about these artists resurface. For example, the enmity between Wanessa Camargo and sandyand the relationship of the daughter of Zeze of Camargo with the guys from the KLB group.
Regarding this second fact, the singer explains that they are “almost cousins” because the boys’ father was Zezé’s manager: “We grew up together for this [pais trabalhando juntos], we had a band when we were younger, we introduced Jovens Tardes. Now they also sing at the Rio festival and it will be fun to honor each other.”
