NYRON HIGOR Vinyl & CDs

Review: Nyron Higor's self-titled album is a captivating blend of tradition and innovation, rooted in the rich musical heritage of Northeastern Brazil. The Maceio-born artist weaves together influences from golden-era MPB with global sounds and contemporary production techniques, creating a dreamlike vision of hope and resilience. Following the success of his instrumental debut, Higor's new album takes a more lyrical approach, exploring themes of transcendence and triumph with a quiet yet potent sense of wonder and featuring collaborations with artists like Bruno Berle, Batata Boy and Alici Sol. 'Ciranda' sets the tone with its slow frevo rhythm and melancholic melodies, while lead single 'Sao So Palavras' captures the fleeting beauty of young love. 'Louro Cantador' builds upon the instrumental sound of Higor's debut, its playful organ and elegant acoustic guitar creating a sense of natural beauty. Through ten carefully crafted tracks, Higor's artistry shines, drawing listeners into a world that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
