Amabbi combines R&B and rap in 'Crisálida', an album about self-knowledge

The Brazilian singer Amabbi releases her second studio album 'Crisálida', which blends R&B and rap while exploring themes of self-knowledge, femininity, and personal struggles.

On Thursday (12), Brazilian singer and songwriter Amabbi unveiled her second studio album, 'Crisálida'. This project includes 13 tracks that seamlessly blend R&B and rap, addressing profound themes such as ancestry, resistance, and the strength of women. It also delves into personal experiences like betrayal, ghosting, grief, romantic disillusionment, and ambition, providing a rich narrative reflective of her life and struggles.

At just 21 years old, the São Paulo native has already made her mark with popular songs like 'Calma, Shawty', 'Meu Time', and 'Mais Uma Vez'. Her debut album, 'Versos e Voos', released in 2024, laid the groundwork for her artistic journey. With 'Crisálida', Amabbi has crafted an album that symbolizes metamorphosis, using the metaphor of a chrysalis to represent her transition into self-knowledge and transformation in her music.

In describing her artistic direction, Amabbi highlights the contrast between the two genres; she likens rap to the rough exterior of the chrysalis, symbolizing the raw and unpolished way of expression, while R&B embodies the inner emotions and sentimentality. This project is particularly dedicated to women, who have been central to her artistic development, showcasing their strength and resilience within the context of personal growth and transformation.
