Inside the Linear Labs Studio: Recording of "Verdadeiro Sentimento" by Carlos Dafé & Adrian Younge

"Verdadeiro Sentimento” is a heartfelt celebration of enduring love. The lyrics reflect on overcoming challenges and finding strength in moments of adversity, where true feelings rise to the surface. With themes of resilience and connection, Dafé’s soulful delivery breathes life into the universal experience of love that grows stronger through trials. Adrian Younge’s elegant arrangements amplify the song’s intimacy, blending samba and soul into a timeless expression of romance and harmony. "It's poem, a song, a longing that hit me in the middle of the night. I was in a hotel in the United States, trying to sleep, missing my wife, Marilda Barcelos, daughter of Elza Soares. I remembered our entire romance—her young, me too. And I thought, "We are so far apart, longing for our love." I spoke words, phrases... and it was better as poetry. Being distant, perhaps if I had whispered it in her ear, it wouldn’t have had the same effect. It’s a true song, a true feeling." - Carlos Dafé With Jazz Is Dead 025, Carlos Dafé reaffirms his legacy while venturing into uncharted musical territory.
