(...) astonishing. If this album could be absorbed in order to become a reference, Brazilian music’s future would be brilliant.
Marcus Preto, Rolling Stone Magazine Brazil (Jan. 2008)
Andreia Dias is one of the most original Brazilian singer-songwriters of this generation. Her intriguing melodies and sharp lyrics make her music different from anything else. Her live performances with her band have been captivating audiences around Brazil.
Known for her part at DonaZica and Banda Glória, Andreia has just released her much awaited solo debut; Vol. 1 strikes us with 11 songs (all composed by Andreia; 2 together with Iara Rennó) performed by Gui Kastrup (drums), Marcelo Jeneci (keyboard), Luque Barros (bass) and Fernando Catatau (guitar). The CD was released by Brazilian independent label Scubidu Records and distributed worldwide, both physically and digitally, by Tratore (where to find? www.tratore.com.br). It can be found online on Amazon.com, iTunes and e-music.com.
Vol. 1
Vol. 1 has received high praise from specialized publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine and other Brazilian newspapers. One of Andreia´s songs, Asas, an answer to Brazilian guitar legend Paulinho da Viola, is collecting prizes at GarageBand.com. The track has been awarded Track of the Week, Best Female Vocals and Rocking Track many times over the last months.
Apart of her solo career, Andreia can be seen performing with Banda Glória, a big band of twenty-something musicians playing a full array of Brazilian music in São Paulo and with DonaZica, a band she co-founded with Iara Rennó and Anelis Assumpção, widely recognized as a result of the Vanguarda Paulistana movement in the 80s. She is currently pre-producing her 2nd solo album; no release date is defined yet.

O Fio da Comunicação
Andreia Dias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A minha vida não suporta compostura
E assimilando toda a situação,
Sigo tranqüila com muita perturbação
Espero um dia não tomar o tal Prozac
e nem perder o fio da comunicação
Na vadiagem glorifico ao meu rei,
No prosseguir, confesso também errei
Espero ser uma pessoa quase sã
pra nunca ter que conhecer o Diazepan
The above lyrics are from Andreia Dias's song O Fio da Comunicação, which is about the struggles of maintaining mental health in a fast-paced world. The first two lines set the stage for the song, with the singer confessing that their love is no longer as fresh as before, and that they cannot maintain a composed life. They then assimilate the situation and continue with a sense of calm amidst great disturbance.
The third and fourth lines express the singer's hopes of not having to rely on medication such as Prozac or Diazepam to cope with their mental health. In the fifth line, the singer glorifies their king while aimlessly wandering, possibly expressing a desire for escape or distraction. The sixth line acknowledges their mistakes and hopes to become a more stable and healthy person.
The song overall expresses a sense of struggle and the difficulty of maintaining mental health in a constantly moving and ever-changing world. It touches on the desire to avoid medication and the need to remain calm amidst chaos, as well as acknowledging and learning from past mistakes.
