Proudly presenting Maravilhosamente Bem the powerful, female-centred
third album by Brazilian singer, songwriter, actress, and creative director, Julia
Mestre
Alongside being a member of the Latin Grammy-winning Brazilian supergroup, Bala
Desejo, Julia has been steadily building a solo career where her unique vision and
alluring soft, sultry voice take centre stage. Drawing inspiration from '80s ballads,
MPB, pop and disco productions, each song on this third album fnds Julia creatively
exploring different characters and tones.
A love-song-driven LP at its core, Maravilhosamente Bem holds a playful mirror up to
blissful days gone by, artfully reimagined with Julia's own modern twist. An album
flled with love and nostalgia, it pays homage to her love of classic female disco divas
such as Donna Summer, Sade, Alcione, Lady Zu, and the Brazilian rock queens Rita
Lee and Marina Lima. Of that latter pairing, the late iconic Brazilian vocalist and
musician Rita Lee (Os Mutantes) is referenced in the music video for the frst single,
'Sou Fera', blessing Julia with a magical guitar. Marina Lima then provides guest
vocals on the album's closing track, 'Marinou, Limou', with her name transformed into
a mantra by Julia.
Channelling a lo-f '80s ballad aesthetic, Julia navigates a multitude of themes across
the nine sublime tracks. From the sexy, whispered performances on vintage horror
movie- inspired tunes 'Vampira' and 'Pra Lua' to the delicate, fragile love lullabies of
'Sentimento Blues' and 'Carinito', and the seductive disco diva embodiment on dance
tracks 'Veneno de Serente' and title track 'Maravilhosamente Bem'. Another hidden
highlight is the palette- cleansing mini- suite, 'Interludio dos Amantes'. A luscious
strings instrumental piece that lends to the beautiful Sade-esque 'Seu Romance'.
Produced by Julia and longtime collaborators Gabriel Quirino, Gabriel Quinto, and
Joao Moreira, Maravilhosamente Bem sees Julia embarking on a new era of her
musical career. This sensational third album is a captivating showcase of the creative
vision and versatility of one of Brazil's fnest stars.
