Her voice always finds a way of anchoring the instrumentation, radiating the various shades of cool that these songs demand. In the song’s languorous second half, she becomes lost in infatuation, cooing and whispering alongside a fuzzy guitar line. Céu becomes further obsessed on “Etílica/Interlúdio,” a track where the bifurcated structure captures the sense of being transfixed by someone’s voice. Its synths waver between sensual and playful, bolstering the lyrics’ engrossing images of drinking black coffee, wearing a lover’s shirt inside-out, and being intoxicated by their fragrance. Opener “Perfume Do Invisível” quickly establishes the album’s smoky atmosphere. Tropix stands out within Céu’s discography and amongst her forebears for how austere it sounds little here sounds bright and convivial-like the greyscale cover, these tracks exude a confidence that’s readily sourced to Céu’s alluring presence. Splashes of psychedelia warrant comparisons to Tropicália legends like Gal Costa, but Céu’s brand of Brazilian music most recalls the ‘90s, when artists like Marisa Monte, Adriana Calcanhotto, and Lenine broadened the scope of MPB beyond its mid-20th century beginnings. On her fourth album Tropix, her tales are underpinned by an airtight, retrofuturistic take on lounge pop. Throughout her career, she’s been able to draw from a variety of influences-trip-hop, dub, samba-to flesh out the emotions of her evocative lyrics.
