Two months after releasing a new single and music video from their new authorial project, the duo launches a parallel project with a pop version of “Essa Moça Tá Diferente,” a work originally recorded by Chico Buarque in 1966.
The re-recording of Buarque’s classic was accompanied by a show in Brazil titled “Baile do Chico,” which premiered in April.
The project brings a more pop approach to Chico’s works, with influences and references to rhythms associated with Rio de Janeiro’s pop culture.
Perhaps the carioca Chico is the Brazilian author who most perpetuates in his work the tradition with modernity and masterfully blends this mixture for the audience.
“Chico is classic, but he is also popular. It has been challenging for us to work on the pieces, as we are used to hearing the original versions. The melodies and lyrics remain intact in the new versions, and we did a meticulous analysis to readjust some chords that would sound better for the proposal of the work,” explains Marcê.
The song “Essa Moça Tá Diferente,” which can already be checked out, is the first song from the project to be released.
The arrangement and all the instruments were played by Max himself.
The music video was also made by the artists themselves with footage captured from the internet during the carnival period.
