Anitta, Like You've Never Heard Her Before. The Brazilian Superstar Talks New Album, 'SNL' and God
The rehearsal previewed two songs from her forthcoming album, including a Shakira duet and an Olodum cover that leans into Portuguese and Brazilian sounds.
- Brazilian superstar Anitta rehearsed at New York City's 30 Rockefeller Plaza last week for Saturday Night Live, performing new single "Choka Choka" featuring Colombian superstar Shakira and "Varias Quejas," a Spanish-language Olodum cover.
- Both tracks appear on her forthcoming album, "Equilibrium," marking a sonic departure from her 2024 release "Funk Generation" and showcasing an eclectic mix of Brazilian genres and international influences.
- Anitta sings in three languages on the album, but Portuguese takes a front seat as she explores themes of community and cultural identity alongside collaborators including Melly and Ponto de Equilíbrio.
- "I think this is the most Brazilian thing I've ever, ever done," Anitta told The Associated Press, calling "Equilibrium" a 100% Brazilian album reflecting her deepest cultural roots.
- Rather than leaning into conventional commercial trends, Anitta doubled down on what makes her unique, seeking to deliver a universal message rooted in regional Brazilian sounds and deep cultural specificity.
