(February 27, 2020) One common thread weaves throughout the staggeringly diverse tapestry of music that producer, composer, keyboardist and vocalist Sergio Mendes has created over his remarkable six-decade career: the spirit of joy.
The Brazilian legend’s new album is no exception. On In the Key of Joy, due out February 28, 2020 from Concord Records, Mendes looks back the only way he knows how – by once again moving forward. Released to coincide with a spectacular new documentary on his life by acclaimed filmmaker John Scheinfeld, In the Key of Joy melds the classic Brazilian, jazz and pop sounds that have long characterized Mendes’ music with stunningly contemporary inspirations that make the album sound at once utterly timeless and wholly of the moment.
One of the songs from the upcoming album that tickles us is the blend of Brazilian beats and soul music that is “Catch The Wave.” Featuring the always fantastic vocalist Shelea, “Catch The Wave” is as irresistible as it is move-inducing.
We are ecstatic to be presenting the World Premiere of this terrific new song. Check it out below and get ready to be filled with “Joy.”
World Premiere!
