Mais (album)
# Mais (album)

Mais is an album by Brazilian singer Marisa Monte, released in 1991. By the time of the album's release, newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo praised the album, saying Monte was "less dramatic, with her voice even more tuned and crystalline, which seemed impossible, Monte even commoves. And, definitely, enters the pantheon of the titans, in all senses." In a 2020 retrospective review for his blog on G1, Mauro Ferreira said the album saw the emerging of "a Brazilian pop music which conciliated MPB, rock, samba and Northeastern [Brazil] music without having one genre overcome the other" and that Mais "reversed expectations of the ones waiting for another album of Brazilian music jewels polishing".
