Inspiration from Brazilian artists and plans for the future
In an interview, the funk singer commented that she always wanted to work on other rhythms and, during the process of creating each song, she was inspired by Brazilian artists who sing for pleasure, such as Baco Exu do Blues AND Luisa Sonza.
“We have to play and reinvent ourselves constantly. I had just released two songs in this nostalgia that people are doing, from the 2000s, which I love and admire. But now I wanted to do something R&B, love songs. My inspiration was Bacco, who I love. I really like the way he talks about sex and pleasure. It’s very liberating the way he communicates. And also Luísa, who I like a lot, I really like a lot,” she explained.
Despite the change in musical style, which may seem radical to some fans, Valesca has made it clear that she can return to funk, if she prefers. “I have not abandoned funk. My funk will always be with me. It is a way to reinvent myself, to bring something new, without losing my essence, but also what I like to hear,” she explained.
According to her, the “new era” has been divided into three parts and will have a new release in December, all within this exploration of musical styles.
“I haven’t thought about the next movie yet, what I’m going to venture into, what I’m not going to do, or if I can go back to my funk, my nostalgia, or if I can do a 150 BPM out of nowhere, like, you know, yeah, so I think it depends a lot on the moment, on us too,” Valesca said good-naturedly.
