About the artist:
LaBaq is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who splits her time between Europe and Brazil and typically writes gentle songs bursting with emotion but has been recently dabbling in electronica dissonance.
There are intimacies that pass over the flesh, like a translucent laser that directly touches the bone. Labaq achieves that effect with her songs: she is and is not, at the same time, singer-songwriter, indietronic icon, nova-bossa-nova, pop explorer, a songwriter as close to indie-folk as to r&b. In any case, the paulista is a celebrated artist that moves by a fine line of many things, to get to be her. This year, her career will be definitely internationalized, publishing the successor of the successful “voa” in up to three different markets.
