Sabrina Malheiros

Sabrina Malheiros – “Equilibria” (Far Out Recordings, FARO 092LPX). The daughter of Azymuth’s Alex Malheiros came into her own on this 2005 breakthrough: feather‑light vocals over glittering keys, Rio‑cosmic Rhodes, liquid bass and samba‑jazz drums that glide rather than pound. It’s future‑soul from Ipanema—equal parts broken‑beat sparkle and golden‑age MPB songwriting. Cuts sway between breezy mid‑tempo dancers and after‑hours ballads, always anchored by Sabrina’s effortless phrasing and immaculate groove sense. On wax, the production’s silk and snap come alive: shimmering strings, brushed percussion, synth halos. Elegant, uplifting and deeply Brazilian, “Equilibria” embodies Far Out’s signature—heritage reimagined for modern ears.
