Anitta’s ‘Funk Generation: A Favela Story’ Showcases the ‘Rhythm That Raised Me’

As “Funk Rave” approaches 25 million Spotify streams, Anitta rolled out three-part bundle Funk Generation: A Favela Story on Thursday.

Released via Republic Records/Universal Music Latin Entertainment, the trilogy includes “Funk Rave,” which dropped in June, and fresh new tracks “Casi Casi” and “Used To Be.”

“All the music I’ve been making for the past year is music I’m so proud of,” Anitta previously said in a statement. “It’s both incredibly Brazilian and intentionally international – I made sure it sounds like me in every fiber of the music. Brazilian funk is my roots. It’s what I was born and raised doing. It’s home to me. I made this new music with the intention of showing everyone those roots, what’s most important to me, and leading with ‘Funk Rave’ does exactly that.”

“Funk Rave” marked the singer’s first release for her new record label Republic Records in partnership with Universal Music Latin Entertainment. In April, she inked her new deal with Republic Records just two weeks after her exit from Warner Music.

Last summer, the artist performed her hit “Envolver” at the 2022 MTV Music Video Awards, taking the trophy in the “Best Latin” category shortly after. During her acceptance speech, Anitta reflected on her beginnings in Brazil. “I really wasn’t expecting that. I think I’m gonna cry,” she said. “We never would think this was possible.”
