According to Sony Music, this EP is a work that reflects the artistic evolution and the fusion of influences that have always marked Nelson Freitas’ sound. “This EP showcases the singer and songwriter’s musical versatility, navigating between different styles and rhythms”.
The same source highlights that the inspiration for “Waves” came from a special writing camp held at White Pearl Resorts, in Mozambique, where Nelson Freitas and a team of talented Mozambican composers got together to create music in a unique and immersive environment.
About this experience, Nelson Freitas says in the same note that he decided to return to Mozambique, “to the incredible White Pearl Resorts”, a place that has won him over before with its unique energy.
“This time, it wasn’t just about relaxing, it was about creating! We set up three studios in three cabins and together we produced eight soulful songs. On my new EP Waves, which features three of these songs, each sound reflects this unforgettable journey,” he says.
