Maré Cheia

Portuguese pop ballad with a gentle swaying groove, 78 BPM, acoustic guitar and soft piano in the verses, pre-chorus opening with rising strings and brushed percussion, chorus blooming into layered harmonies and a lifted drum pulse; lead vocal is intimate and close-mic with warm doubles on key lines, ad-lib echoes on the hook, a reversed swell into each chorus and a subtle shaker shimmer in transitions; bright, emotional, polished mix with spacious reverb and a tender low end
