The most intimate version of you

In Wild Pathsthe singer embraces the intimacy. Of the first demos recorded on the cell phone to the orchestrated sound of the final version, the work was crossed by losses, transformations, a separation, and the impact of Covid-19 pandemic-experiences that resonate in songs with lyricism and depth.

“It’s the most intimate album I could do in my life. I’ve always been very attracted to this kind of poetic approach because I was saved by artists who gave their intimacy in your work, so I always wanted to do it. But I think I had many questions to myself before I could open the game the way I opened.

People thanked me a lot in the pandemic for making Lives weekly. And they often said that this project saved their lives. But the truth is that life saves was mine because of them. ”

Wild Paths has eight tracks and production signed by Catto next to Fabio Pinzowski and Jojo Ináciolongtime partners. The result is a dramatic and innovative rock disc that highlights its potential as a singer, songwriter and producer.

“I didn’t learn to forgive” Opens the album with a bleak emotional scenario. Right away, “I love you” transports us to a night to the road, marked by uncertain and visceral love – the single follows a clip now available and directed by Juliana Robin.

“Solitude is a party” It brings painful guitars and raw confessions while transforming vulnerability into hymn. “For Yuri all my kisses” It closes the first part of the album with a unconventional, direct and shameless declaration of love.

The transition comes with the title track, a manifest poem on pain and transformation. Then the climate changes with “Madrigal”dense and sensual song that celebrates pleasure as liberation. Ode to Emotional Lightness “1001 Nights Is Over” It brings the mantra of “wanting to rock and be happy.” Finally, “Spilled milk” It ends the album with a romantic epitaph between ruins, irony and farewell.

Before the official debut, the artist was the first to participate in a Rolling Stone Sessions special with hearing and pocket show at BLUE NOTE SAO PAULO On Monday, 12. “I feel a wave of a lot of affection coming towards me. And this affection gives security to keep doing my job.”

Maturity

Beyond intimacy, Wild Paths back Catto In a more mature and confident version. Over the 15 years of career and about to release the fifth authorial album, the artist learned to value her own origins: a punk girl in the north of Porto Alegre who stuck posters and could never be prevented from fulfilling her desires.

The singer was thrilled to reflect on her own trajectory. Asked about advice that would give himself at the beginning of his career, he replied that he would talk about the importance of willpower to overcome the challenges.

If I’m here, it was because I disobeyed everyone who tried to fit me, and that’s something that gives me a lot of pride. ”

With another look, Catto He also became his own role as an artist in a different way. If before she would put herself in a pedestal and sought incessantly “to be something,” today she recognizes herself as a reference, but without a concern. “What interests me is to be with people, stepping on the same nightclub as they, being on the street with them.”

With Wild Paths, Catto It also aims in pleasure. The tour of Beauties are things lit inside Recently, but the artist is ready to return to the road with the promise of such a theatrical and cinematic performance as the album.

I suffered to make this album, went to the bottom of the well. Now I want to have fun again. Art has obscure moments that are visceral and painful but necessary for human life. But art also goes through a place of absolute fun, even horny to do things. So I’m crazy to put my little girls in this new project. We’ll travel to this. “
