New music video from Ana Moura

Ana Moura is one of Portugal’s most revered voices, spending the past two decades dazzling audiences with her soulful sound and original songwriting. Known for bringing the traditions of Fado to a global stage, Ana has built a career that stands at the crossroads of cultural heritage and cutting-edge musical innovation.

She’s earned admiration from legendary artists like Prince and The Rolling Stones, confirming her status as a world-class performer. With tens of millions of streams and sold-out shows across Europe, Ana Moura’s name has become synonymous with modern Portuguese music, blending the deep emotionality of fado with fresh, global influences.

The release of Moura’s critically acclaimed seventh album, Casa Guilhermina, in 2022 marked a significant shift in her career. Drawing on her Angolan heritage and working with modern Portuguese producers, the album fused her roots with new sonic textures, creating a vibrant and experimental sound. This evolution in her music was not only a hit with fans but also demonstrated her ability to reinvent herself while remaining true to her origins.

The album’s success led to a sold-out headline show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall and saw her join Belgian artist Stromae on his European tour, taking her music to an even broader audience. Her reputation for creating forward-thinking music continues with her latest release, the brand new single titled “Desliza.”

This track is her first collaboration with Moon Willis, a producer renowned for his work on Stromae’s Multitude album as well as collaborations with artists like Yendry and Priya Ragu. The partnership brings a fresh dynamic to Moura’s already distinctive sound. “Desliza” showcases her sultry vocals layered over a modern beat, blending the timeless elegance of her fado background with slick production.

Blending intricately snapping beats, grooving bass lines and elegant vocal leads that dance above the bouncy rhythm of the arrangement to spin instantly catchy melodies, the track serves up a mellow, dance-focused sound. Full of infectious lines and wrapped up in exquisite sound design, the track delivers a stunning sound that sees Ana Moura continue to operate at the very highest level on her enduring musical adventure.

Alongside the release of “Desliza,” Ana has also unveiled a visually striking music video that signals a new aesthetic direction. The choreography is sleek and sophisticated, underscoring the song’s sensuality and modernist appeal via bold visuals that reflect the artist’s ability to straddle tradition and modernity, appealing to long-time fans and new listeners alike.

Looking ahead, Ana Moura is gearing up for an extensive European tour in 2025, which will kick off at La Cigale in Paris on March 3rd and wrap up at London’s Electric Brixton on March 13th. The tour promises to be a milestone moment for Ana, as she continues to build on the momentum of her recent releases and explores new musical spheres. With tickets for her headline tour set to go on sale, anticipation is building for what’s next from Ana Moura.

Commenting on her new single, she shares, “There is an incredible essay called ‘ Uses Of The Erotic” written by Audre Lorde. In it is a statement which really resonated with me: ‘Erotic is the caretaker of all our deepest knowledge’. Knowledge is power and ‘Desliza’ is my response to this. With this song and video I wanted to project a strong and fertile feminine force, which has so often been considered dangerous by those who have influenced the social norms.”
