IZA's song “AFRODHIT” is praised by the New York Times

Brazilian singer IZA's second studio album “AFROHIT”, released on August 3, 2023, was a huge success due to its original songs and powerful visual composition. Consequently, the album's third title, “Que se Vá”, was acclaimed by American critics in the New York Times and was placed on the list “13 Songs We (Nearly) Missed in 2023”. The singer, since her debut, has been admired for her exceptional talent with her musical productions and her striking voice.

“Brazilian singer and rapper IZA isn’t just breaking up on “Que Se Vá” (‘Let It Go’); she’s also canceling her ex’s credit card. Her joyful goodbye, with laugh-out-loud verses, is driven by Afro-Brazilian rhythms, programmed handclaps and a harmonious chorus that exults in its bitterness.”, the journalists pointed out.

Album acclaim at awards ceremony

“AFRODHIT” is a sensitive album about the stages of mourning in a relationship, from denial to acceptance. The songs delicately explore the feelings of frustration, loneliness and freedom of a woman in the midst of the end of a great love. By touching the audience, the singer makes music more than a product, but rather an experience to be savored.

Praised for her performances, IZA hosted the 2023 Latin Grammy and was nominated twice for the award with “Dona de Mim” in 2018 and “Fé” in 2023. The singer has won and been nominated for several music awards. IZA is a big name in the Brazilian music scene today.
