One year after releasing her fifth studio album, "Versions of Me," Anitta gave fans something to dance to with her new EP, "Funk Generation: A Favela Love Story," released on Aug. 17. The three-song collection, while brief, offers a take on the music Anitta, who is Brazilian, was raised with.
"In this project I dive into carioca funk," she said in a statement shared with Rolling Stone. "The rhythm that raised me and is part of the culture from where I was born."
She accompanied each track — including "Funk Rave," "Casi Casi," and "Used to Be" — with a music video. "In the visuals, there is a lot of what I've experienced in the favelas," she said, referring to the working-class neighborhoods in Brazil, where she was raised. "Apart from international producers, I made a point of bringing Brazilians to this incredible team. Their contribution was essential."
