Editor's note

David Fonseca's melodic Portuguese pop

A Porto singer-songwriter whose records trace emotional terrain from the early 2000s onward.

For a good sense of his sound, try 'U Make Me Believe' or 'Lullaby.' They're straightforward, tuneful, and pretty representative of what he does.

He writes songs that feel direct and personal, like 'U Make Me Believe' or 'Someone That Cannot Love,' with a melodic pop sense that's stayed consistent across albums. His work touches on mental health themes, and he's mentioned influences like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. That combination, accessible tunes with some weight behind them, gives his catalog a particular place in Portuguese music.

He started with 'Sing Me a Song' in 2003 and has released records fairly regularly since, including 'Kiss Me, Sun, Kiss Me, Moon' in 2007 and 'Between Waves' in 2015. The songs suggest a focus on personal themes and melodic pop, from early tracks to later ones like 'What Life Is For.'
