This is the first single from “Liberdade”, the long-awaited third album by the Fado singer.
The history of contemporary Fado can no longer be written without mentioning a name: Sara Correia.
Since 2018, when she edited her debut album of the same name, her interpretation power has been evident, the breathtaking way in which she surrenders to Fado, and the magnetism with which she steps onto the stage, which leads her to conquer audiences all over the world.
Now, the fado singer surprises again with “Chelas”, a song that goes beyond the boundaries of fado, full of twists that conquer us every second, from the rhythms with echoes of traditional Portuguese music to the modernity of the production and the luxurious string arrangements. And, of course, Sara Correia’s magnanimous voice and fearless attitude.
It’s a kind of B.I. by Sarah Correia. Written and composed by Carolina Deslandes, word by word, as if she were reading it, presented from the neighborhood where she comes from, grew up, and lived: Chelas. The music is also signed by Diogo Clemente, who is also the producer of the theme and the album of which “Chelas” is the first sample.
This is the second time that Sara Correia works with Carolina Deslandes, a composer who had already signed the theme “Porquê do Fado”, which is part of the fado singer’s second album, “Do Coração” (2020), work that earned her the nomination for a Latin Grammy and the PLAY Award for Best Fado Record.
The video clip, recorded in the neighborhood, with people from Chelas, was conceived and directed by Carlos Marta and the producer Egotrip and premieres today at 7 pm on Sara Correia’s YouTube channel.
“Liberdade”, Sara Correia’s third feature will be released at the end of the year. Recently, Sara Correia joined The Voice team: initially as a mentor in the 2nd edition of The Voice Gerações, currently on display, but later announced as the new mentor of The Voice Portugal, along with Fernando Daniel, António Zambujo, and Sónia Tavares. The program debuts in September. Already described by specialized critics as “the best voice of the new generation”, Sara Correia continues to tour stages all over the world.
