Estou muito feliz por partilhar que o meu novo álbum em duo com o Matt Mitchell já saiu. É isso mesmo, a espera acabou! O álbum End of Something, lançado pela Obliquity Records, está disponível apenas no Bandcamp (onde o dinheiro vai para os artistas — desculpem, sem streaming!) e onde podem adquirir o CD ou fazer o download em alta resolução.

" (...) a stunning duet sequence by pianist Matt Mitchell and vocalist Sara Serpa, End Of Something that also captures the disturbing mood of the moment, especially “News Cycle,” which confronts the racket that surrounds us. But Mitchell and Serpa seems to metaphorically track its very trail, from headline to reaction to analysis to gossip to (albeit temporary) resolution. Brilliant. Serpa is nothing but clear intention here, singing in long, pure, steady tones, occasionally sighing or leaping. Mitchell’s twinkling treble and her playful improv on Messiaen’s “Les Bergers” exude ominous mystery. Some songs have lyrics, notably the gorgeous “Carry You Like A River,” by Sonia Sanchez, and the ghostly requiem, “Dead Spirits,” by feminist theorist Luce Irigaray, but the words themselves feel less important than their sounds  as they melt into the music." by Paul De Barros

I’m thrilled to share “Trouvaille”, the new single from my duo album with pianist and composer Matt Mitchell, End of Something. This is a piece composed by Matt that had never been recorded before. The first time we played it, the melody stayed on my mind for many days. Fittingly, “Trouvaille” means “a lucky find” in French, and that’s exactly how this piece feels to me. Pre-order new album.
