Editor's note

Sam Alves, the Brazilian Voice winner with soul

A singer from Fortaleza who turned a show-stopping "Hallelujah" into a career of emotional ballads.

For a quick sense of his lane, try "I Wanna Fall" or his take on "I Look To You." They're pretty much his wheelhouse.

That performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" on The Voice Brazil in 2013 wasn't just a competition moment, it announced a voice built for big, heartfelt songs. You can hear it in tracks like "I Wanna Fall," where his pop-soul style leans into the drama. Even when he covers Whitney Houston's "I Look To You," he brings that same earnest, gospel-tinged delivery.

After winning The Voice Brazil in 2013, he released his self-titled debut album in 2014, blending pop with soul and gospel. He followed with an acoustic album in 2015 and a duets collection in 2019, sticking mostly to ballads and covers like "Tired" and "You Are Loved."
