Síntese do Lance is an MPB album released on October 22, 2021, by Brazilian musicians João Donato and Jards Macalé on the Rocinante label.[1][2][3] The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Brazilian Popular Music Album at the 2022 awards.[4][5]

Background

An album conceived by poet and composer Sylvio Fraga and produced by Fraga, Pepê Monnerat, and Marlon Sette, the meeting of musicians João Donato and Jards Macalé for the work Síntese do Lance took place in Araras, in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro, marking the first time that the musicians, who had been friends for a long time, had worked together.[6]

The first single from the album was the song Síntese do Lance, released on September 17, 2022.[7] Composed by Donato, the song has strong religious appeal, as it is inspired by the entity Zé Pilintra, who has a strong presence in Umbanda.[1][8] To continue promoting the album, the duo released a second single, Cocô Táxi.[9][10] The album features only previously unreleased songs.[8]

On the album cover, the musicians appear naked.[2][11] In an interview with Daniel Barbosa, from the Minas Gerais newspaper Estado de Minas, Jards said that the idea came from Donato's wife, and that while they were posing for the photos, Donato kept repeating “Awkward" in a joking tone.[11]

Reception

Critical

Journalist and music critic Mauro Ferreira wrote in his blog on G1, rating the album three and a half stars out of five, praising the musicians' collaboration, but noting, “although Donato's piano and Macalé's guitar are together throughout the album, there was a lack of interaction between the two artists, including in the composition process."[12] Julinho Bittencourt, writing for Fórum magazine, gave a positive review and noted that “the fact is that the album sounds more modern than ever by returning to the sound of the Bossa Nova era of the late 1950s and early 1960s, a movement of which Donato was a pioneer and Macalé a faithful follower.”[13]

Accolades

The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2022 in the Best Brazilian Popular Music Album category.[14][15] At a ceremony held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, United States, the album ended the night nominated, after singer Liniker won the category with the album Indigo Borboleta Anil.[16]
