Me chama de gato que eu sou sua is a quick, feel-good record by Brazilian, non binary artist Ana Frango Elétrico, who blends smooth jazz, funk and stings elements together to form these lush, dreamy instrumentals that feel like the soundtrack for a transition sequence in a James Bond movie in the 1970s.

Some post-bossa nova instrumentation and effects that tie back to their Brazilian roots give the album a very laid back, chill vibe, with guitar parts that sound like they’re from 70s funk songs at times, and vaporwave indie pop songs at other moments.

While the vocal performance is really great, I know an album that’s primarily sung in Portuguese is probably going to be a no-go for many people. But at the very least give the two English tracks here a try — the bright, groovy dance opener “Electric Fish,” which is one of my favorite songs of 2023, and the slow disco track “Boy of Stranger Things.” The delightful closing track, “Dr. Sabe Tudo” is well worth your time, too.
