Based in Canada, Brazilian singer-songwriter and vocalist Ana Luísa Ramos releases "Clouds," a nostalgic bossa nova sung in English. The single is accompanied by a music video recorded on the island of Newfoundland and precedes the artist's third solo album.

During a car journey through the countryside of São Paulo, Brazil, on the eve of her birthday, the Brazilian, based in Canada, Ana Luísa Ramos, wrote "Clouds," a song she now releases as the first single from her third solo album, titled "Solaris." "Clouds" speaks about living in the present and truly being present. It's about contemplating the small yet significant things in life and wanting to give oneself completely," shares the artist. Recorded between Brazil, Canada, and the United States and arranged by Daniel Bondaczuk, a Brazilian producer based in Nashville, the track creates connections between Brazil and the northern hemisphere. A bossa nova sung in English, the music is released under the Canadian label The Citadel House, accompanied by a music video directed by Eric Taylor Escudero, with whom Ana Luísa forms the duo Ana & Eric.

The video was filmed in Newfoundland, Canada, and includes archival footage shot in various locations within the province, such as Middle Cove and Cape St. Mary's, along with nostalgic recordings made in Brazil. "This song portrays the long roads, the vastness of the horizon, new beginnings, and unconditional love. The idea was to visually represent these elements through images of nature, travels, tours, depicting the memories that make up life," says Ana Luísa

With a photo produced by Sarah Kierstead and design by Thiago Dalleck, the cover conveys the melancholy and introspection that are also present in the music. Along with an earthy color palette, the image captures the organic essence that is part of Ana Luísa Ramos's work. This concept will be extended to the visual identity of the album "Solaris," scheduled for release in April. From Latin, the word that names the album means “something that obtains energy from the sun”, evoking the delicacy of the compositions and the brilliance of the artist's voice.
