The sound landscape follows bright, but dives deeper: the sea has become ocean and the lightness now also brings density. During the eight tracks, it sews collaborations and memories with the same sensitivity as who knows exactly where it wants to anchor.

Attitude 67), trace that anticipated the sunny climate and the pop-organic sound that Mar.iana cultivates with personality. The ocean reflects the essence of those who are today: solar, light and, at the same time, deep.

And all the songs came from this very centered place,” account Mar.ian. “I chose this name because I understood that the sea is in my name and in my essence. And now that I know where I want to go, I go.”

Among the tracks, there is room for honors and affections. The rewriting of The sun, LIS and the Colibrì It is a choice full of emotional memory, saving memories with your brother and intimate moments with guitar. Already the unpublished compositions have been built collaboratively and carefully: “This time, I chose the finger that it would be with me. I wanted a more intimate and focused process, with people who speak the same language of me”, explains.

The visual aesthetic of the project also follows this transformation. Mar.ian Bet a palette that mixes the orange at sunset with the intense blue of the ocean. “I don’t think about the beach anymore, now I think of the ocean itself, of that sea after breaking. It is wide, dense, infinite – like this moment when I’m living.”say Mar.ianwhich collects records of various “twilight” on mobile devices and uses this symbolism as a guide wire of the time.

Translating your identity more carefully than ever, Mar.ian gives the public a cohesive, mature project and, at the same time, naturally light: “I think I was lucky to be an artist who must not leave his routine to express himself. I am here and my songs are only an extension of my life.”

Gauge He brought a very good energy and opened a new door in my sound “explains Mar.ian. Known for the transit between trap and rap, the singer completes the track with its melodic and contemporary imprint.

The choice of a company like this was not by chance: “I wanted something more popular, to speak to the young audience, but without losing essence. All my songs are made with the band, with people who really play, and this continues. But here we brought a light beat that speaks well with this new generation, without forcing. It is a step forward, but it is still me.”

I’m having fun It also represents a turning point on the album. It is the music that summarizes the transition between the universe Good sensations that the singer already dominates and a mature path, without leaving aside the accessibility: “A new cycle opens for me.

And even navigating on different sounds, states firmly: “Today my songs are on Mar.Iiana’s shelf. I found myself, and this is what the album speaks.” The company with HandlingFor example, this maturity reaffirms: “They are giants, have a road and have agreed to eliminate this sound. This means a lot.”

The connection with the southern public of the country is also reflected in the choice of Simonartist of Itajaí (SC), as a partner in So: “I have a very strong audience in the South and I really wanted to bring this atmosphere. It was all thought with great affection”, He says. Already Coldwith Attitude 67It keeps the tropical mood and invites the listener to enjoy the simplest moments of life.
