[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\u201cA Bailarina\u201d is the first single from Rodrigo\u2019s new album and BMG International debut \u201cO M\u00e9todo\u201d out February 21. Featuring the voice of his youngest daughter Sofia and the 20-strong AMAC Youth Choir, \u201cA Bailarina\u201d is also the first video of the album, animated by the Oskar&Gaspar studio from original drawings by Rodrigo (featured as well in the album cover).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This was one of the very first songs I wrote for the new album, and I wrote it with my wife, Ana Carolina, who has collaborated regularly with me on lyrics.<\/p>\n

It was inspired by a mother singing her daughter to sleep, so there\u2019s a childlike innocence to it. That can also be seen on drawings I made at the time, some of which were animated for the video, and some of which are used on the album artwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Bailarina\u201d is a good example of the change I see in this new album. It\u2019s a hopeful, happy, melody, where the use of the electronics works perfectly with the human element of the voices.<\/p>\n

The lyrics are sung by my youngest daughter Sofia, with background vocals by \u00c2ngela Silva, Viviena Tupikova and the AMAC teenage choir. The words she is singing are made-up. I deliberately set them in a non-existant language to underline the spiritual, dreamy side of the music.<\/p>\n
