Sessa is a São Paulo singer-songwriter whose quiet, Portuguese-language songs draw on samba, Tropicália and 70s soul. A former member of the São Paulo band Garotas Suecas, he went solo with Grandeza (2019) on Mexican Summer, followed by Estrela Acesa and Pequena Vertigem de Amor (2025). The new record, shaped by the intimacy of becoming a father, adds piano, synthesizer, wah-wah guitar and a primitive drum machine to his nylon-string guitar.
