Barely a teenager, Freitas learned to entertain through the art of hip-hop and throughout the years the flexibility of his talent allowed him to flow with changing vibes of the music industry. Once a break-dancer, then the front man of the infamous group Quatro Plus, a producer, a writer, a singer, engineer and now he is the owner of GhettoZouk Music, a label created by Nelson Freitas with artists as Chelsy Shantel & William araujo. With his roots connected to the Cape Verde islands and his passion for the hip-hop culture inspired Freitas to take on a challenge to change the contemporary sound of the Cape Verdean music.
In 1997 the compilation CD of “MOBASS Presents” was released featuring the track, “Hoje em Dia” (Now a Days), which officially launched Quatro Plus (formally known as Quatro) in the market. As one of the lead singers of the group, Quatro Plus went on to release three successful albums “4-Voz” (Four Voices) in 1998, “Bem Conche” (Get to Know Us) in 2002 and “Ultima Viagem” (Last Voyage) in 2005.
In almost a decade, Freitas has earned what’s rightfully his as he is of the most admired and respected producers, singers and writers in the Cape Verdean as well as the zouk music industry. With a blend of Cape Verdean Kriol and English lyrics, a twist of R&B and hip-hop incorporated with zouk and traditional Cape Verdean music.With al these ingredients Nelson made his solo album called “ Magic “ In October 2006.The album sold over 25.000 copies world wide.
With new creative input and even more experience the second album “ My life “ is a fact. The album promises to bring yet another dose of creativity and talent as the 12 track album aims to live-up to his previous album “ magic “ or even surpass it. featuring artists on the album will be William Araujo, Mc Knowledje, Laisa Sanches & Anselmo Ralph.
Rebound
Nelson Freitas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm off to the club tonight
To find me a one night thang
Oohh
Been outta game for a while
But I'm back fresher than ever
Not about to let nobody tied me down
Cause when you left
You broke my heart
But time heal's all wounds
And noooww...
Chorus 2x
I'm looking for my rebound chick
Girl could you be it
I'm not looking for
Love love love love love
I'm searching for that rebound chick
And you just may be it
I'm not looking for
Love love love love love
Hey hey hey hey hey (3x)
Verse 2
Got my swagger right
I'm headin to the club tonight
I'm gonna get crazy, stupid
Might even cross the line
I'm gonna get my drink on
And blame it on the alcohol
So please ladies
Don't you hold none of this
Against me noo noo
Repeat Hook
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Hey hey hey hey hey (3x)
We can have sex in the bathroom
Sex on the floor
Sex in the living room
Sex on the stove
Sex in the elevator
Ring the alarm, ring the alarm
We can have sex in the Kitchen
Or on the stairways
Back of my car
Or in the driveway
Sex girl wherever you want
Ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Repeat Chorus
The song "Rebound" by Nelson Freitas explores the theme of seeking temporary connections and avoiding emotional commitment after a heartbreak. In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling confident and ready to move on from a past relationship. They express a desire to go to the club and find a casual partner for the night, emphasizing their determination not to be tied down by anyone.
The hook reinforces the idea that the singer's heart was broken when their previous relationship ended. However, as time passes, they hope to heal and move on. The chorus then emphasizes the main objective of the singer: finding a "rebound chick," someone who can fill the temporary void left by their previous partner. It is clear that they are not interested in seeking genuine love at the moment.
In the second verse, the lyrics repeat the singer's confidence and swagger as they head to the club again. Their intentions become more explicit, as they state that they might engage in reckless behavior, blaming it on alcohol. Despite their actions, they ask the female audience not to judge them.
The bridge introduces a more explicit and provocative tone to the song, depicting various sexual scenarios and locations. Here, the lyrics suggest that the singer is open to sexual encounters without any emotional attachment. The phrase "Ring the alarm" could symbolize the excitement and intensity of these encounters.
Overall, the lyrics of "Rebound" depict a person exploring casual relationships and temporary connections as a means of moving on from heartbreak. The song focuses on seeking physical pleasure without commitments or expectations of love.

Got my swagga right
I am feeling confident and self-assured
I'm off to the club tonight
I am going to the club tonight
To find me a one night thang
To find someone to have a casual encounter with tonight
Been outta game for a while
I have been out of the dating scene for a long time
But I'm back fresher than ever
But now I am back and feeling more refreshed than ever
Not about to let nobody tied me down
I am not willing to let anyone restrict or control me
Cause when you left
Because when you left me
You broke my heart
You shattered my emotional well-being
But time heal's all wounds
But time has the power to heal emotional pain
And noooww...
And now...
I'm looking for my rebound chick
I am searching for a temporary romantic partner to help me move on
Girl could you be it
Girl, could you be the one I am looking for
I'm not looking for Love love love love love
I am not seeking a long-lasting, deep emotional connection
I'm searching for that rebound chick
I am seeking a temporary romantic partner to help me recover

Hey hey hey hey hey (3x)
Hey (repeated 3 times)
Got my swagger right
I am feeling confident and self-assured
I'm heading to the club tonight
I am going to the club tonight
I'm gonna get crazy, stupid
I am going to behave in a wild and foolish manner
Might even cross the line
I might engage in behavior that is socially unacceptable
I'm gonna get my drink on
I am going to consume alcoholic beverages
And blame it on the alcohol
And attribute any questionable behavior to the influence of alcohol
So please ladies
So I kindly request, ladies
Don't you hold none of this
Do not hold any of this against me
Against me noo noo
Hold nothing against me, please
We can have sex in the bathroom
We can engage in sexual activity in the bathroom
Sex on the floor
Sexual activity on the floor
Sex in the living room
Sexual activity in the living room
Sex on the stove
Sexual activity on the stove
Sex in the elevator
Sexual activity in the elevator
Ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Sound the alarm, raise awareness
We can have sex in the kitchen
We can engage in sexual activity in the kitchen
Or on the stairways
Or on the stairs
Back of my car
Rear area of my car
Or in the driveway
Or in the area in front of the house where cars are parked
Sex girl wherever you want
Engage in sexual activity, wherever you desire
Ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Sound the alarm, raise awareness
