Decade

Decade formed in São Paulo around 2012, with Fabrício Moroni on vocals and guitar, Fernando Almeida on bass, and Marcos Oliveira on drums. They started with a straightforward acoustic sound, putting out their first album, 'Um,' which set the tone for what they'd do. Their songs like 'Canção Sobre Eu e Você' and 'Coisas do Coração' are built around Moroni's voice and clean guitar lines, leaning into personal lyrics without much studio fuss.

They followed up with albums called 'Dois' and 'Três,' sticking to that acoustic ballad style. The music doesn't try to reinvent anything, it's more about keeping the arrangements simple so the words and melodies sit up front. Moroni has talked about dealing with mental health at times, which fits with the reflective mood in a lot of their writing.

Decade's work has found an audience in Brazil by staying close to that unadorned, melodic approach. Songs like 'Por Mais Longe Que Eu Vá' show how they handle distance and longing without overplaying it. They've kept at it with a steady output rather than chasing trends or dramatic shifts in sound.
