Album lore

NOVA, released in May 2026 on Sony Music Entertainment, assembles Hamilton De Holanda with Salomão Soares and Thiago Big Rabello across fourteen tracks that weave samba, Brazilian jazz, MPB, pagode, and new MPB. The trio’s interplay is a measured study in rhythmic and melodic dialogue, from the opening “Nova alvorada” through to “Pras crianças,” where Soares and Big Rabello’s contributions frame De Holanda’s bandolim with warm, grounded textures.The album’s sessions evoke the lineage of Brazilian urban music, touching on traditions from choro to forró, as heard on “Forrozin de Mestra Zélia,” featuring Mestra Zélia do Prato. NOVA’s modest reception, with under 2,000 scrobbles, suggests a quiet artifact for those attuned to nuanced contemporary interpretations rather than mainstream signals.
