Afrodhit is the second studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter IZA. The album was released on August 3, 2023, through Warner Music Brazil. [1] [2]

Contents

The singer revealed that in February 2023 she discarded an album that was completely ready, and made a new one in about 5 months. [3] The album features several collaborations such as Djonga, King, L7nnon, MC Carol, Russo Passapusso and Tiwa Savage. The album debuted in the Top 3 of the global Spotify chart from August 4 to 6, 2023. [4]

Background

After the release of the album Dona de Mim, on June 3, 2021, the singer released the song "Gueto", a song that exalts the culture of the periphery, which would be the first single from her second studio album, the video clip was released on next day being inspired by the 2000s and the North Zone, bringing references to Olaria, the neighborhood from which it was born. [5] [6] She later released the singles "Sem Filtro" and "Fé" between 2021 and 2022, which would also be part of the album. In March 2022, she also released live previews of other songs from the album, which were also discarded. [7]

In September 2022, Iza released an EP of three songs: "Mole", "Mó Paz" and "Droga" that would also be part of the album. Called 'Três', the project became a promotion for the singer's performance on the main stage of Rock in Rio 2022, which became the first black Brazilian singer to perform on the world stage. [8]

Later, the singer revealed that she discarded the album that was finished: "Those songs no longer represented me anymore. My voice [now] is more serious, because my voice is more serious, that shadow in the voice is my mark, my fingerprint. How strong this is, right? How much I didn't use my voice 100% because, sometimes, when I was in the studio, whoever was recording in the studio didn't like it and cut me off". [9]

The first single from the album "Fé nas Malucas" in collaboration with MC Carol was released on July 27, 2023. After her participation in Fantástico on July 30, 2023, Iza revealed the album cover and the release date: July 3 August 2023. The next day she revealed all the tracks on the album. [10]
