Filady

Filady was a Brazilian band whose song 'Arrependimento' became something of an anthem in the mid-1990s. The track, with its straightforward lyrics about regret and wanting another chance, connected with listeners in a way that felt personal rather than grandiose. It was the standout from their self-titled 1995 debut album.

Led by singer and songwriter Alessandra Cipriani, the group included Gabriel Peixoto on bass, Leo Bittencourt on guitar, and Rafael Oliveira on drums. Their music, often described as Brazilian pop, wasn't afraid to touch on themes like infidelity and personal mistakes, which drew some criticism at the time for being too frank. They followed up with albums like 'Momentos' in 1997 and 'Alma Iluminada' in 1999, which explored more reflective territory.

Other songs like 'Fraca' and 'Já Está' showed their knack for crafting melodic pop that felt grounded. While 'Arrependimento' remained their most recognized work, the band's catalog offered a straightforward, sometimes vulnerable look at relationships and everyday struggles without much pretense.
