This song talks about a moment of encounter and connection with our inner strength. When we expand and recognize our power, it is a path without return. It is about leaving behind what no longer fits us, integrating the parts of who we really are and flowing into our waters until it flows into the whole. ‘No more’ marks the beginning of this connection, the conscience of the thread that connects all things, an invitation to recognize ourselves as part of something larger, ”comments Rob.
Using her most intuitive side, she plays with experimentation and evokes spirituality to talk about love, freedom, union and a dose of psychedelia as a form of expansion and connection with the universe.
As a consequence of these creative movements, the artist moves between Portuguese and English in an unpretentious mixture, which is already her trademark.
Produced by Kassin (who has worked with Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, Erasmo Carlos, Vanessa da Mataamong others) and Mario Caldato Jr. (which collaborated with artists like BEASTIE BOYS, Jack Johnson, Marcelo D2 and Seu Jorge), the music brings the reggae footprint of the 1980s.
This brought to the recording a special flavor: the battery was microphone nearby, we use rototons in the turns, timbales and synthesizers instead of pianos, ”he explains Kassinwhich had musicians as Rodrigo Tavares on keyboards and Thiaguinho Silva on the battery.
Mastering was in charge of Felipe Tichauerwhile the mix was performed by Mario CaldatoJr. The launch as a whole marks the new partnership of Rob Love with yes productions, under the management of Tânia Arturwhich also business Jonathan Ferr and the duo Yoún.
