Joelma (album)

Background

After her separation from ex-husband Ximbinha, Joelma announced in Programa da Sabrina, which aired on August 29, 2015 which is rejoining the Banda Calypso in December and follow solo career, with the same rhythm that gave prominence to it:

"I know it's been difficult, all at the beginning is difficult, but not impossible".

The press office confirms the words of Joelma and that it would be called artistically Joelma Calypso. Sites speculated that she could follow gospel career, but the singer made it clear that intended to continue following the rhythm that consecrated the world stage. In a show held in Goiânia, in August 28, the singer thanked the support of the fans and reinforced his departure from Banda Calypso with last appointment on December 31, and then begin to "serve God" singing calypso rhythm.

After the controversial divorce, signed in Recife, Joelma invested in solo career. In October 2015, she recorded with the Banda Musa, the song "Amor de Fâ", and participated in the DVD recording of the band playing the song.

Production

On new directions in career Joelma said the main difference he noticed was to have taken "the reins of everything": "I was accommodated, always everyone driving my work and my life now reborn one Joelma I thought. that no longer existed, that there from the beginning. I was surprised with myself".

Acceptance of the fans proved to be a surprise for the singer, who is believed to have raised the largest number of fan clubs after the dissolution of the band, "99% of Fan clubs of Banda Calypso migrated to Joelma. it was a very good surprise, did not expect, I was very happy because it lifted me up faster and made me forget the past"

Besides the fans, all the ballet and technical team of Banda Calypso followed Joelma on his solo career. According Joelma, this was the result of what she has planted over the years and see the whole band and crew supporting him was something essential.

All songs contain the theme of overcoming a painful love – quite in keeping with the latest happenings in the life of Joelma, who separated from Ximbinha in 2015. But what draws attention is the mix of styles, as arrocha and tecnobrega – and the process of creating melodies was closely followed by Joelma, who confessed to having given guess at all, something she did not at the time of the Banda Calypso. For these reasons, the album has been widely praised in critical it came out.

The album features the song "O Amor de Deus," where she sings with children Nathália, Yago and Yasmin:

"It was wonderful record with them. At home everybody sings and everybody plays. Yasmin plays guitar, plays the piano and sings. The Yago also plays and sings, Natalia just sings. So we had this idea and it was exciting. The mother's heart beat faster to see them growing, developing this gift, so it was a real gift for me".

During the program É do Pará, live in Belém, on November 21, 2015, Joelma sang a snippet of a new song that would be part of his first solo CD. In the music section, the letter said:

"Well, who knocks forget / Who gets no / Take all your illusion and go live with her / Yeah, I told you and the world spun / I've found a new love / You was the one who lost, lost me / You made me another, he made me unique / you gave me pleasure, he gave me love / And you better".

When asked about the song the following year, in an interview for the radio "FM O Dia", Joelma said he had not yet recorded the song in the studio at the time, and when I was recording with the band for the album, saw the music I had not worked in the studio. He concluded by saying that the song may be released in the future on another album after working a little more on it, with new arrangements.

Reception

The album in general received positive reviews.

Vinicius Cunha of the website "Gshow" said the record marks the overcoming after the tumultuous divorce and the departure of the band late last year, is an open letter from a woman well settled and willing to conquer the world another one turn. Joelma, the lead singer of the release, is considered "Não Teve Amor" and the singer discovered that there is a post-term relationship life and she delivers a hit candidate to the mold of the success of the former group, Caribbean calypso dominating the track. ''Se Vira Aí" comes as a zouk with electronic elements, showing that Joelma is focused on treading on the betrayal suffered. The singer says that who left losing in the coexistence was the other side. "Ai Coração" announces a nostalgic ballad, it is not overnight that one forgets a love, and Joelma knows it. But he also has knowledge that is much greater than the phase that seeks to unravel. The verses prove that the wound is still open, but that it is about to go around. "A Página Virou" is seen as an unusual encounter of Calypso's repertoire with Sarajane's "A Roda" and is considered one of the best tracks on the CD. A renewed Joelma is to come on her solo debut and "A Página Virou" is her biggest test.
