Baco Exu do Blues releases “Fetiche”, a provocative and accurate EP

Baco Exu do Blues presents his new project “Fetiche”, an EP composed of seven tracks that promises to captivate and provoke the public. The release, on the 999 label in partnership with Sony Music, will be today at 9pm on all music platforms. In addition to the EP, a short film directed by Camila Cornelsen, recorded in São Miguel do Gostoso, Alagoas, complements the artistic concept developed by Baco.

“Fetiche” is a powerful and accessible work, which combines acidic lyrics and captivating melodies. On the EP’s cover, designed by Baco himself, a woman appears on her back, in bed, with a tattoo by the artist, symbolizing the complex relationship between desire and power. “I do not accept nor do I want to embrace the limitations imposed by history. I want to be in other people’s imagination for more than one reason, creating my own space”, says the singer and composer from Bahia.

Unlike her last album “QVVJFA”, which addressed the difficulty in dealing with affection, “Fetiche” explores passion and desire. “We are hypersexualized, but not seen as beautiful beings. This album is a defense against that vision”, explains Baco. The songs, with his unique rapping style, show why he is one of the main voices in national contemporary music.

The challenge of this EP, according to Baco, was to create soft instrumentals that allowed the public to appreciate both the depth of the lyrics and the repetitive and engaging musicality. “Smoothness is a rhythmic hallmark of this process”, he explains. With “Fetiche”, Baco seeks to offer a new look at his own image and that of those who identify with him. “I want people who look like me to not be limited to just one quality. This EP is about valuing all our qualities”, he praises.
