Sabrina Malheiros (born 1979) is a Brazilian música popular brasileira (MPB) singer/songwriter. Her music has been described as "nu bossa", combining house beats with jazz and samba influences and "cool, detached-sounding vocals", [1] and critics have compared her to Brazilian contemporaries Bebel Gilberto and Céu. [2] [3]
Malheiros was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro. [4] She is the daughter of Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros. [5] She was interested in music from a young age, enrolled in music school at age six, [4] and made her first studio recording before age seven. [1] She cites Azymuth and João Gilberto as early influences on her musical style. [4]
Malheiros's first commercially distributed recording was the title track of Azymuth's 1991 album Curumim, on which she sang lead vocals. [4] Her debut album, Equilibria, was released in 2005. [1] Malheiros wrote or co-wrote nine tracks on the album. [4] Her second album, New Morning, was released in 2008 and was arranged by Arthur Verocai. [2] Both albums were produced by Daniel Maunick [1] and released on the Far Out Recordings label. [3] [4] A remastered and partially reworked "Deluxe Edition" of New Morning was released in 2009, containing a few extra tracks and an increased emphasis on instrumentation. [5]
Malheiros made her UK concert debut on 18 May 2005 at Jazz Cafe in London. [6]
