Cansei de Ser Sexy

Cansei de Ser Sexy, often called CSS, was an electroclash band from São Paulo, Brazil, active in the mid-2000s. Their sound mixed dance beats with a playful, irreverent edge, heard in tracks like 'City Grrrl' and 'Red Alert'. The group included Lovefoxxx on vocals, Ana Rezende on bass, Adriano Cintra on guitar, Carolina Parra on keyboards, and Irene Almeida on drums.

Their debut album in 2005, 'Cansei de Ser Sexy', featured songs like 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex' and 'Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above', which helped define their early style. They followed with albums like 'Donkey' in 2008 and 'La Liberación' in 2011, which included 'Red Alert'. Their lyrics often touched on themes of sexuality and empowerment, which drew some criticism but also built a dedicated following.

CSS's music had a straightforward, energetic quality that worked well in live settings and on dance floors. Songs like 'Hits Me Like a Rock' and 'The Hangout' kept things moving without overcomplicating the formula. They didn't stick to one sound, experimenting a bit on later records, but the core of their appeal remained those catchy, upbeat rhythms.
