Before he turned 20, Lô Borges released one of the most captivating albums to come out of Brazil's rich musical landscape -- a record that somehow flew under the radar at the time but has since become a cult favorite for listeners around the world. Recorded in the same whirlwind year as the legendary Clube da Esquina -- the groundbreaking collaboration with Milton Nascimento and Beto Guedes -- this self-titled solo debut finds Lô Borges in full creative flight. Pressured by Odeon Records to deliver a solo project, Borges responded with a burst of youthful brilliance, sometimes writing a song in the morning and laying it down in the studio that very night. The result? An album that's spontaneous, heartfelt, and sonically stunning. From the shimmering guitars of "Você Fica Melhor Assim" to the dreamy melodies of "Canção Postal" and the jazz-infused groove of "Calibre," the album blends Brazilian popular music with rock, soul, and subtle psychedelic touches. It's got the intimate spirit of a bedroom recording, but with the musical sophistication of legends -- with collaborators like Toninho Horta, Tenorio Jr., Nelson Angelo, and of course, Beto Guedes helping bring Borges' vision to life. Fans of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, or early Nascimento will feel right at home here -- but Lô Borges brings his own voice, at once tender and electrifying, to every track. The guitars are fuzzy, the harmonies rich, and the songwriting nothing short of magical. Though it didn't make a splash in 1972, Lô Borges has only grown in stature over the years. It's the kind of album you discover once, then return to again and again -- a timeless treasure from a young artist who helped redefine Brazilian music from the ground up. If you're into warm, soulful songwriting with a touch of experimental edge, this record is waiting for you. Give it a listen -- and see why Lô Borges is considered one of Brazil's most underrated masterpieces. Reissue on 180g vinyl.
