Background

[edit]

The album was produced in 2018. Zemmoa commented in an interview that the idea of the new album began by outlining the soundtrack of a film based on the Poison Ivy (song), and added: "Instead of marketing to what is going to work, I was thinking in the songs that have marked my history all my life. These are songs that describe me or that I am very much myself ". The album cover is a tribute-reinterpretation of the album Superman, by Barbra Streisand.

"I am an artist in constant learning. When I was little it sounded the same as today. Inner tranquility, love, I believe that life is like that. Artists, poets, musicians, painters are always against our present. We managed to transcend, question, promote non-discrimination and self-love. There has to be a little rain for a rainbow to come out. We all have to learn to dance in the rain. And surely in the process we will dirty our sneakers. Simply Zemmoa."
