Songs of the year, number 25: Sarah Roston - Eu Incomodo (I Bother)


The title track from Roston's debut EP, 'Eu Incomodo (I Bother)' is good, fun, hedonistic Brazilian pop. Although this was her debut E.P, Roston is a seasoned performer, performing as part of an African dance company and as part of a pop big band orchestra too. As inspired by Beyoncé as she is by Brazilian pop, you can find out more about her here

The video to 'Eu Incomodo' caught the eye of Clash, who liked its mix of energy, musical styles and contrasting cultural and geographical faces of Brazil. This is not Bolsonaro's Brazil, this is something much more free, open minded and exuberant. 

And it's a damn good bop it has to be said.
