Tim Maia - 1973

Released in 1973, it is his second studio album and solidified his reputation as one of the key figures in Brazilian music during the 1970s. The album blends elements of soul, funk, MPB, and disco, and is notable for its rich, energetic sound and Maia's powerful, emotive vocals.

In this album, Maia began experimenting with deeper soul and funk influences while maintaining a connection to Brazilian rhythms, helping to shape the sound of Brazilian pop and soul music in the years to come. It also reflects his struggles with the societal expectations of fame, which would later be linked to his involvement with the Cultura Racional movement.
