Anitta sat down with me Billboard News to play a game in which she revealed some fun details about her next album, which she describes as “very cultural” and “very Brazilian”.
The Brazilian pop star has been hired to play a game with billboard‘s Dance Director, Katie Bain, in which she is asked a question or given a statement, and has to share the first thing that comes to mind. The first statement thrown at Anitta was “You’d be shocked to know I’m a big fan of…” to which the rock band replied: “[The] punches.”
As for “the last song [she] what was heard”, Anitta gave the audience a small singing performance before answering the question. “It’s not my deal/It’s not your deal…” she sang before scrolling through her phone for the answer. “If you saw that playlist, you would be like, ‘Are you listening to this?’ You would be shocked to know I listen to Chris Stapleton. The last song I heard was this [“Our Deal” by Best Coast].”
Bain then asked what Anitta has planned for the future of her music and touring plans, and while a tour is out of the question for now, fans will be pleased to know that a sequel to her 2022 hit, versions of mestands on the horizon.
“I’m definitely working on new music. Not on tour [retches]. Jesus Christ, I never want to tour again, but there’s new music coming,” she said. “I’m working on this album, very cultural, very Brazilian but in English and Spanish, finally the album that I think really represents me as an artist, I’ve finally finished it. And now I only work on music videos, the beauty of it.”
