Her debut album, "Sensoreal", released in October 2023, prompted Rimas e Batidas magazine to describe Rita Vian as a "master of words with lyrics keenly attuned to the senses and observant of silences". In this work, which received glowing reviews from specialized critics, Vian constructed her own universe where different musical galaxies coexist, from fado to hip-hop, through the hypnotic lightness of calm electronica. With creative allies like João Maia Ferreira (formerly known as benji price) and Conan Osíris, Rita Vian further affirmed her authorial voice by guiding the album's direction, which she produced herself—a testament to her confident artistic mind, adept at exploring the unknown and charting new territories.
Her debut album, “Sensoreal”, released in October 2023, led Rimas e Batidas magazine to describe Rita Vian as a “master of words and a lyricist attentive to the senses and observant of silences”. In this work, which received wide praise from specialized critics, Vian built his own universe in which different musical galaxies coexist, from fado to hip hop and the mesmerizing lightness of calmer electronics. With creative allies such as João Maia Ferreira (who previously signed Benji Price) or Conan Osiris, Rita Vian further asserted her authorial streak by guiding the fate of the album she produced, a sign of a confident artistic mind, which understands very well what it is the unknown and how new territories must be explored.
On stage, this results in a magnetic presence that challenges conventions and ensnares us in the delicate yet real web of her singular art, which sometimes feels like it arrives from the future. Perhaps that's where Rita feels most at home.
