pomodorosa has a wide variety of musical styles, including Pop, Jazz, Soft Rock, Electronic, Shibuya-kei, etc., but for many listeners, pomodorosa is still "bossa nova".
In fact, the tracks that reign at the top of the playback count, such as Bourbon, Saudade no Céu de Outono, Thunderbolt from the blue, Feijoada, and Pardon, are all bossa nova and samba tracks.
This newest work, "faux fruit" only contains bossa nova and samba. However, what is here is not just chill and comfortable bossa. While following the context of bossa, it is a challenging and edgy album that tries to push the limits with arrangements, lyrics, technology, and methods. If I could arbitrarily name the genre, I would call this "Advanced Bossa"
Today's chaotic world order, the rise and deception of AI, division and intolerance. The themes that are dealt with behind the light-hearted bossa are heavy and complicated. But at the same time, it is also true that universal human values and unchanging lives exist there. However, all chaos and values are merely one frame in the great circle of reincarnation. The fact that the album begins and ends with "Reincarnation" which symbolizes reincarnation, is proof of this theme.
This album is an ambitious work that blends together such a "human perspective" and a "perspective from something transcendental".
The title, "faux fruit" translates to "fruit of lies" in French. I would like to leave it up to the listeners to decide the true or lie of the messages this album presents.
