Speaking previously about her upcoming new album, Anitta explained: “‘Funk Generation’ is an album where I celebrate my roots.
“It’s where I express the power of [Rio de Janeiro’s] funk in every track, its unique, danceable, and sensual beats. It’s a rhythm born in the favelas, where I grew up, and it exudes resistance and art in every community.”
Last month saw the artist preview the collection with ‘Double Team’, a collaborative single with Brray and Bad Gyal.
