Saulo Vasconcelos Single
The single"Pretty Words" that will bring the B side "Baby Baby" is ready and waiting for release in the upcoming months.
The 2 previously unreleased compositions of André took flight in the amazing voice of
Saulo Vasconcelos, one of the leading names of Brazilian musical theater, having interpreted such roles as The Phantom of the Opera, the Beast - from "Beauty and the Beast", Javer of "Les Miserables" and currently Captain Von Trapp, from "The Sound of Music" in São Paulo, Brazil.
"I am very happy. It's so easy to work with Saulo and it is fulfilling to hear the grandeaur that he brings to the songs", said André.
The project will celebrate the singer's carreer, that has come now to it's 10th year. In an interview to Laura Wie, for the Brazilian TV show Muito Mais, of "Ideal TV", the singer relived his history and gave a small taste to the audience of "Pretty Words", accompanied by the composer.
André is currently producing the single "Imagina", by Kassius Trindade, alongside Felipe Senna & Marcos Yukio.
The singer promises to bring a powerful Hip Hop, on the lines of Souja Boy and Cris Brown to the Brazilian music scene.
Though his roots are in Blues, Classical and Soul, this is André's first work at the style.
