DESCRIPTION
Pique is the debut solo album from Dora Morelenbaum, a standout voice among Brazil’s new musical vanguard and a key member of Bala Desejo, the Latin Grammy-winning collective. This solo venture sees Dora stepping out with assured elegance and creative freedom, delivering an album that gracefully bridges classic MPB, jazz, funk, soul, and indie pop — all wrapped in her unmistakably celestial aesthetic.

Co-produced with fellow Brazilian visionary Ana Frango Elétrico, Pique is a journey through textured soundscapes, vibrant rhythms, and poetic introspection. While Dora’s first EP Vento de Beirada was tentative and exploratory, Pique is confident and experimental. It features both upbeat, funk-leaning gems like the irresistible “Venha Comigo” and “Sim, Não.” and slower, dreamy tracks such as “Petricor” and “A Melhor Saída,” where Dora’s delicate vocals shine.

The production blends lush horns, tight percussion, jazzy keys, and strutting guitars, all elevated by a vibrant, DIY spirit. Dora takes a hands-on approach here, from writing and arranging to overseeing artwork and studio logistics — revealing her depth as a fully-formed artist.

The album is also a celebration of Brazil’s rich musical lineage, featuring contributions from her Bala Desejo bandmates (Lucas Nunes, Julia Mestre, Zé Ibarra), as well as prominent collaborators like Guilherme Lirio, Alberto Continentino, and Tom Veloso. In a touching full-circle moment, Dora’s legendary parents, Paula and Jaques Morelenbaum, also contribute vocals and arrangements.

Dora says: “Pique was an album made in motion and ended up being about just that... it builds bridges between a more traditional universe and a new perspective on songs.” That synthesis is what makes Pique so special — it is forward-thinking but firmly rooted, experimental yet deeply listenable.

With nods to icons like Gal Costa, Lincoln Olivetti, and Banda Black Rio, Pique is a modern Brazilian classic in the making — radiant, genre-defying, and uniquely Dora.
