Background and recording
Sei is Reis' first independent album, after Universal Music Group refused to renew the deal they had with Reis. According to him, the process of going indie is irreversible. Also, he stated:
"Universal didn't want to renew our contract, and I wanted to have this experience. It doesn't make much difference in terms of art, the changes are more visible at the management side, in the conception of the selling of the album. It's something that I could only do this way if I was alone."
Reis also stated he didn't understand the mechanics of the recording companies, "such as the profit margin, with albums being sold for R$30,00 (US$15,00) and almost an year later they cost R$5,00."
According to Nando, "Lamento Realengo" was inspired by an apparently unauthorized DVD he bought, in which Bob Marley and The Wailers were practicing in 1973. "I got crazy [watching the DVD]. This ended in 'Lamento Realengo', which is half samba, half reggae. I even recorded with a nylon acoustic guitar, which I haven't played for some 15 years!"
The single "Sei" is currently being used at the soundtrack of Rede Globo's telenovela Lado a Lado.
The opening track "Pré-Sal", his favorite song on the album, describes things related to Reis' childhood and had its name suggested by his sister. According to him, he gathered his siblings in his house and showed them the songs he would record. His sister then suggested that the opening track should be called "pre-salt" due to it being deep and prior to consciousness.
Release
Seven tracks of the album were released via Radio UOL. The first one was the single "Sei", followed by "Pré-Sal", "Back in Vânia", "Pra Quem Não Vem", "Eu & a Bispa", "Coração Vago" and "Lamento Realengo". The entire album was later made available for streaming at Reis' official website, though one will need to log in via Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or other means in order to listen to the album.
The price of the album will be defined by fans, according to their opinions about the work. People who purchase it will also get special gifts, including access to the original recordings, extra songs and a poster with the album cover.
Reception
Leonardo Lichote, from O Globo, praised the references to Brazilian music contained within the album, stating that "Nando strengthen his relations with a way that's already his: the way of a popular composer that transforms his pains and pleasures in verses filled with truth, be them as simple as "I love you" (there are thousands of variations in the album), be them codified almost exclusively for him".
