Funk Generation is the sixth studio album by Brazilian singer Anitta. It was released on 26 April 2024, through Republic Records and Universal Music Latin Entertainment. The album features guest appearances from Brray, Bad Gyal, Dennis, Pedro Sampaio and Sam Smith. It is her third trilingual album after Kisses (2019) and Versions of Me (2022).

Background[edit]

After the release of her fifth studio album, Versions of Me, in April 2022 and the EP À Procura da Anitta Perfeita in November of the same year, Anitta confirmed that she was working on an entirely Brazilian funk album.[1] At the end of January 2023, she was seen filming a series of music videos in Rio de Janeiro for the album.[2] In April, she signed with Republic Records after ending her contract with Warner Records.[3] She first teased the album title on June 9 with the creation of an Instagram broadcast channel called "Funk Generation".[4] On June 22, she released the album's lead single, "Funk Rave".[5] At the end of the month, Anitta revealed in an interview that the album would include collaborations with American singer Chlöe and English singer Sam Smith.[6] On August 18, she released Funk Generation: A Favela Love Story as a preview of the album.[7] The EP included the singles "Funk Rave", "Casi Casi" and " Used to Be". Although the singer initially stated that all three songs would appear on the album, only the first one was included in the final track listing.[8]

In an interview for the Brazilian program De Frente com Blogueirinha, Anitta mentioned that the album would be released in early 2024, possibly in March.[7] However, in late February 2024, she stated that the album's release was delayed because Sam Smith initially canceled the release of their collaboration.[9] On March 21, Anitta announced the release date of the album and revealed that her collaboration with Smith would appear on the album; however, she mentioned that her collaboration with Chlöe might not appear on the album because it contains an uncleared sample of P. Diddy's "I Need a Girl (Part Two)" (2002).[8]

Singles[edit]

"Funk Rave" was released as the album's lead single on June 22, 2023.[5] It reached number one in Colombia[10] and Mexico,[11] and number 47 in Brazil.[12] The music video for the song was directed by João Wainer and Ricardo Souza and filmed in Rio de Janeiro.[13][14] It features Anitta in a favela, where residents carry out activities such as playing football, dancing, and sunbathing.[15] The song won Best Latin at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.[16]

"Mil Veces" was released as the album's second single on October 19, 2023.[17] It reached number 21 in Portugal[18] and number 22 in Brazil.[12] The music video for the song was directed by Jackson Tisi and filmed in Canada.[17] It features Anitta and Damiano David, the vocalist of the Italian band Måneskin, playing a couple in a "tumultuous relationship".[17] A remix in Portuguese with Brazilian singer Melody was released on January 4, 2024.[19]

"Joga pra Lua" with Brazilian DJs Dennis and Pedro Sampaio was released as the album's third single on December 14, 2023.[20] It reached number 17 in Brazil[12] and number 48 in Portugal.[21] The song was accompanied by a visualizer, which features the three artists on a beach at night.[22]

"Double Team" with Puerto Rican singer Brray and Spanish singer Bad Gyal was released as the album's fourth single on March 21, 2024.[23] The music video for the song was directed by Sam Hayes. It features the three artists and a group of people at an outdoor party.[24] The Fader

Critical reception[edit]

Billboard's Luisa Calle mentioned that "no one does funk like Anitta. Singing in Spanish, Portuguese and English, the trilingual superstar doubles down on her efforts to globalize Brazilian funk with Funk Generation."[25] The Fader's Sandra Song wrote that "it's this measured use of Miami bass loops, samba-like percussion, and the occasional guest rapper that keeps Funk Generation from feeling less like candy-coated carioca, and more like the Latin Grammy-nominated superstar's genuine desire to finally return home."[26]

Baile Funk Experience[edit]

On April 8, 2024, Anitta announced the Baile Funk Experience tour in support of the album.[27]
