“Cocktail” is the name of Soraia Ramos’ latest release and a milestone in her young career as it is the first album by the Cape Verdean artist, who is performing for the first time at the Coliseu of Lisbon
The album features special collaborations with Nenny, Apollo G, and Carolina Deslandes, whom the singer highlights as “one of the dearest people I know with the purest heart. Making music with Carolina is an adventure. She has always been an inspiration to me and to all women.”
Soraia also states that this first album is “a blend of Soraias, languages, sounds, and emotions. There are songs that make you cry. There are others that make you laugh. Some are cathartic,” she confesses. It was during the album’s production that, in a way, she discovered herself as an artist.
For her debut, Soraia Ramos broke all barriers, experimented with new sounds, and stepped out of her comfort zone. Throughout the album, we hear songs with an R&B flavor, as well as something more pop, kizomba, experiments with drill, rap, and even trap music. But all the tracks are united by the artist’s talent in fluidly singing in different languages, connecting with audiences worldwide, bringing people together through music.
