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<p>\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<p>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<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GkG18chitiI&#8221; el_width=&#8221;50&#8243; title=&#8221;Rodrigo Le\u00e3o &#8220;A Bailarina&#8220;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[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.
