“Don’t Wake Me” is an English-language song that gives NAY PORTTELA‘s music an international flavor while retaining the Brazilian musical identity that underpins her work. On the track, her voice takes center stage, carrying the English lyrics with the distinctive presence that defines her performances. It’s the nexus of linguistic expansion and the musical roots that still influence her sound.

“Don’t Wake Me” musically couples the usual pulse of indie folk with layers of viola caipira, creating a dialogue between different veins of folk music. The combo gives the song a character that straddles Brazilian roots and a broader folk sensibility. The track doesn’t separate those influences but lets them sit together, with Nay’s vocal performance acting as the through line of the arrangement.

The song is visually presented as a lyric video with chords and visually directed by Rodolfo Ruben. It keeps the focus on the music and words while adding another dimension to how the track is presented. “Don’t Wake Me” finally opens up another side of NAY PORTTELA’s artistic language, broadening its linguistic scope while still maintaining its Brazilian identity.

Elysia‘s latest release, “EOP Sound,” a direct reflection of her rebuilt voice and the musical direction she is creating now. The track is hard to pin down to one genre, blending house, Afrobeat, classical, ragtime, percussion, piano, and her own vocal texture. That strange mixture gives the song a unique character. The song’s identity feels closely tied to where Eylsia is musically, emotionally, and creatively.

What’s special about “EOP Sound” is how it brings all its different influences together in one space. Afrobeat and House give the percussion piano different rhythmic bases, while classical and ragtime add further musical color. Eylsia’s voice is the centerpiece of the record and its own recognizable presence. It gets its personality from its differences, not from a predictable formula.

The feeling of creative freedom in the end is the “EOP Sound.” Eylsia is not trying to fit the track into a nice little box of a musical genre; she’s giving a sound that reflects where she is in her journey. The result is a genre-blending release with her rebuilt voice front and center of a bold new direction, each adding to the track’s unique identity.
