Rita Lee is the third solo album by Rita Lee and her first following her split with Tutti Frutti, released in 1979. [2] [3]

Contents

Heavily influenced by the disco sound that was popular at the time, Rita Lee can be seen as a transitional album with Lee veering away from her signature stadium rock sound towards a more accessible mainstream sound. The album is noted for being the first of many collaborations to follow with her now husband, Roberto de Carvalho.
