MusicAriele Locatelli releases album “Camaleoa”In a fusion of rhythms, the singer promises to take listeners on a unique and unforgettable journeytoday at 16:08

In a bold statement in “Chameleon”, Ariele Locatelli makes each track more than just a new aspect of his artistic personality. From the engaging, dance-inducing rhythms to the ballads, it is a celebration of Brazil’s musical diversity and cultural richness. With lyrics that invite listeners to explore the multiple facets of the human experience.

“It came from my desire to do something more eclectic, to be able to explore all my artistic possibilities. That’s why it’s not just one concept. I believe that life and art should be free and changeable, just like me. So I wanted to put all of that into the album,” he reveals.

She also talks about the musical styles she brings to the new album. “I always had a problem at the beginning of my career, which was not fitting into niches. So I thought about using this versatility as an asset, and not as a problem. That’s why I bring several genres, I mix rap with samba, the groove of funk, reggae, ballads. There’s no way to define it with just one,” she says.

“The recording was intense and very emotional. I spent 14 days alone composing, something I worry about a lot. There were six producers, many musicians and it was done in several cities, which was really cool, because each one brought a bit of their culture. It was easy from start to finish,” she adds.

The singer also talks about composing in other languages, as she did with the song “Nice”. “Sometimes, even if I wrote the lyrics in Portuguese, I do a version in English, to see the syllables, the stresses. This one specifically was a chorus that I had thought of a long time ago. I had a base that I had saved, which is a groove and there, something I always wanted to do”, he says.

Ariele tells us what influences he brings to the album. “I have many, including foreign ones. There’s a bit of Fernanda Abreu, Gal, Elis, Marina. Our Brazilian music is very rich. I really like it. Lauryn Hill, Caetano Veloso, Bowie, Rodox”he explains.

In times of digital releases, releasing an album is something rare, and the artist comments on what motivated her to do so. “I reached a more linear moment in my career. I lost that rush of having to make a single, I took my foot off the gas and tried to dive deeper into myself. And I understood that following formulas doesn’t work for me. I have a ton of projects, I’ve thought about a thousand things. I want to do something more visual, another album, partnerships. I want to keep working, I love what I do, I want to keep evolving”, she says.

The launch “I adore”in 2022, took her to the Latin Recording Academy, responsible for the Latin GRAMMY Awards, and she ends by saying what the experience of being a member is like. “I always comment that I attracted this. It’s been wonderful, because it’s a symbol of excellence, and I’ve learned a lot. It’s a great honor”, ​​she concludes.
