Alexandre Kassin was the last to take the headlining role in the trio he shares with Moreno Veloso and Domênico Lancelotti. The structure they've chosen for the group is to release each record with a different member's name up front, +2. This song shares the breezy subtropical vibe of the trio's other work, and Kassin has a perfect, sweet Brazilian falsetto that ably carries the melody as electronic buzzing and tweaked-out guitars gradually creep their way into the post-bossa nova arrangement. The simple, monosyllabic chorus bridges language barriers with ease, though the Portuguese verses are hardly any less accessible to non-speakers.
