The new single features lyrics and music by Pedro da Silva Martins, who explains the theme’s concept: “After all, who is this other one? In the assembly line of the music industry, we have a hard time remembering the ‘other one,’ since the ‘next other’ is already lining up (with a ‘fit body’ and ‘fashionable clothes’) on a radio playlist with yet another ‘catchy’ song, devoid of content and just like so many other songs formatted for that purpose. In a society where all the ‘others,’ after their brief and squeezed-out minutes of fame, are simply discarded and condemned to oblivion, Lena d’Água is well within her rights to say: ‘You want pop, here you go!'”
For Lena d’Água, “Pop Toma is a light-hearted and humorous social critique with tongue-twisters that make me want to dance.” The visualizer accompanying the song is by Cristina Viana.
Live, Lena d’Água now takes the stage with a new band composed of Nuno Prata, Pedro da Silva Martins, Luís Martins, Sérgio Nascimento, Cat Falcão, and Vicente Santos.
“Pop Toma” appears as a wink towards the much-anticipated successor to “Desalmadamente,” ready to become a summer hit.
