Why This Album Matters

Released on 18 May 2018, Deus É Mulher represents the 33rd studio album by the legendary Elza Soares, consolidating her continued relevance in the Brazilian music scene. The work demonstrates the artist's vitality and capacity for reinvention, as she continued to deliver impactful and contemporary works even after decades in her career. This album stands out for its careful selection of songs and Elza's visceral performance, as she remained true to her essence while exploring new sonorities. The singles "Banho" and "Deus Há de Ser" were the first samples of what the public could expect, signalling a record full of strength and personality, characteristic of Elza Soares' unmistakable voice.

Recording

The production of Deus É Mulher was overseen by Guilherme Kastrup, who played a fundamental role in the curation of the repertoire. The process involved a rigorous selection of 11 tracks, chosen from an initial set of 60 songs presented to the artist. The album's recording took place over a few weeks, a period during which Kastrup's vision and Elza's desire for more songs converged, resulting in the final configuration of eleven tracks, a number that sought to balance the artistic perspectives involved.

Songs

The album Deus É Mulher features a diverse repertoire, carefully selected by producer Guilherme Kastrup in collaboration with Elza Soares. The 11 songs that make up the record were chosen from a total of 60 options, evidencing a detailed curation process. Among the standout tracks are "Banho", the first single, and "Deus Há de Ser", the second release that preceded the album. Additionally, the song "Hienas na TV" gained notoriety by being included in the opening soundtrack of the Brazilian series Bandidos na TV, licensed by Netflix.

Legacy

Deus É Mulher garnered significant critical acclaim immediately after its release. The album was voted the 2nd best Brazilian album of 2018 by the prestigious Rolling Stone Brasil magazine. Its quality was also recognised by the Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte (APCA), which included it on the list of the 25 best Brazilian albums released in the first half of 2018. The inclusion of the track "Hienas na TV" in the opening soundtrack of a Netflix series, Bandidos na TV, demonstrates the cultural relevance and expanded reach of Elza Soares' work with this album.
