Mar Dubrule's new single, "incoerência," is a challenge, an expectation to debunk, suavely, tenderly uncovered, with the sweetest taste of freedom. Co-created with longtime musical and life partner Gui Colobardini, the song is a soft yet sharp invitation to sit with our contradictions and maybe embrace them.
Taken from "Magnetiza," their emotionally rich collaborative record, "incoerência" is a matter of beauty and internal reckoning. The couple's artistic chemistry is not just about music but about shared life moments. They made this body of work while pregnant with their first child and performed even as they were gearing up to have their second. The layered sense of growing, changing, and yielding cuts across every note.
"incoerência" is a quiet storm, luxurious in its textures. It drifts between the warm pulse of bossa nova, the delicateness of Brazilian folk, and the free-spirited wanderings of experimental jazz. Gui's arrangements bring a tacit shimmer to Mar's lyrical world, cocooning each word in a downy atmosphere that's equally dreamy and down-to-earth. It's music that breathes.
Mar Dubrule's poetic lyrics hint at the quiet revolt of self-acceptance, especially when uncomfortable. Her voice confesses the words, like pages torn from a diary read aloud as the day turns to dusk. The intimacy with which she imparts her truth is no theatrics, just her presence.
The genius of "incoerência" is that it can be such a personal record and still speak to standard frames of mind. It will beckon you to enter. Once you're inside, it cradles you tenderly in a place both wounded and whole.
This is a mirror to the soul, enrobed in fragile melodies and brave honesty. Next, Mar Dubrule reminds us that incoherence is the very stuff of our becoming. And sometimes, the best thing we can do is let the contradictions speak.
