Agora (2020)

"After 2014's Tudo, Gilberto felt creatively stuck; she took a long trip to Italy for inspiration. Upon her return she called longtime friend and producer Thomas Bartlett to catch up. He invited her to stop by Reservoir Studios the next day. With no goal, their collaborative sessions netted 17 co-written tracks. Between 2018 and 2019, Gilberto lost her best friend and both parents. She and Bartlett subsequently worked together sporadically, adding three more cuts. At the end of the year, they culled 11 tracks from 20. Agora translates as "now" in English, and is arguably the most electronic record Gilberto has ever released. Informed by love, romance, grief, endings, and beginnings, it's loopy yet mature, vulnerable, and nakedly sincere." (Allmusic, 4,5 uit 5 sterren)
