Tina Werneck's debut solo album 'Cheguei tinindo' features Leila Pinheiro
Singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist Tina Werneck is set to release her first solo album, 'Cheguei tinindo,' on August 5th. The album, featuring 12 original songs, will be available on audio streaming platforms. Seven of these tracks have already been released as singles since late 2020, making the album feel like a collection of singles. Among the five new songs, the samba-jazz track "O amor vai chegar" is highlighted for its potential to attract MPB fans, particularly due to the guest appearance of singer Leila Pinheiro. This song, which closes the album, also features the musical arrangements of Carlos Malta and lends its title to the album from a line in its lyrics.
Other new tracks include the instrumental pieces "Egípcio" and "Zambizo," the song "Água," and "Coisa feita," which features Muiza Adnet. The album was produced by Guilherme Gê. Prior to her solo singing career launched in 2019, Werneck had a career spanning three decades as an instrumentalist in music, theater, and cinema. She began playing guitar at 12, studied classical guitar and choral singing, and later took up the viola da gamba at 21. For ten years, she was the solo violist for the Quarteto Alevare, focusing on Astor Piazzolla's music, and released two albums with them. Now 57, Werneck aims for 'Cheguei tinindo' to solidify her career as a singer and songwriter. With the exception of "Eu deixo" (2022), all other compositions on the album are solely by Tina Werneck.
Tina Werneck's 'Cheguei tinindo' album release marks a significant step in her transition from a long-established instrumentalist to a singer-songwriter. The strategy of pre-releasing singles, while common for market penetration, presents a trade-off between immediate audience engagement and the album's impact as a cohesive artistic statement. The inclusion of established MPB artist Leila Pinheiro on a samba-jazz track suggests a deliberate effort to bridge Werneck's instrumental background with broader popular appeal. This approach leverages existing fan bases while introducing Werneck's new identity. As the music industry continues to evolve with digital distribution and fragmented listening habits, Werneck's album release strategy reflects a contemporary model for establishing a new artistic persona and consolidating a career.
