Anitta Announces New ‘Funk Generation’ Album, Drops Bad Gyal-Featuring ‘Double Team’ Single and Video
variety.comThania Garcia Anitta has set a release date for “Funk Generation,” her first full-length studio effort under Republic Records and Universal Music Latin Entertainment.
The album is slated for April 26. “’Funk Generation’ is an album where I celebrate my roots,” Anitta said about the incoming record. “It’s where I express the power of Rio’s funk in every track its unique, danceable, and sensual beats.
It’s a rhythm born in the favelas, where I grew up, and it exudes resistance and art in every community. I’m proud to work on a project about a genre that has been unfairly stigmatized in Brazil but is slowly gaining recognition worldwide.” “Funk Generation” is the extended album counterpart to “Funk Generation: a Favela Lovestory,” the three-song bundle Anitta shared last August.
That set included the funk-imbued singles “Funk Rave,” “Casi Casi” and “Used To Be,” which gave fans an indication of where she was headed next sonically. “I dive into carioca funk,” Anitta said in a statement at the time. “The rhythm that raised me and is part of the culture from where I was born.” Anitta also says this album includes “important collaborations” that have helped her tell the complete story of this album.
