They form a carefully chosen line-up and combine new arrangements for songs, which Mísia had already given her voice to in the past, with some new surprises: “Qué he sacado con quererte” by Violeta Parra will be one of them, and also “De alguna Manera”, a song in Spanish with lyrics and music by Luis Eduardo Aute, which Mísia has already performed, but here it gains a new life. “Fico a Cismar”, is an original by Rodrigo Leão, that also falls into this exciting category of surprises, and we are once again captured by Mísia ́s voice.

And then there are the words, chosen with the care of those, who seek in poets interpreters of the deepest feelings. This time Tiago Torres da Silva and Fernando Pessoa, Mário Cláudio and Natália Correia, Vasco Graça Moura and Lídia Jorge, all of them giants of our literature, will be interpreted.

In each of the pieces, Mísia gives herself unreservedly, using each of her songs as a mirror, that reflects those feelings, which carry her, just as she carries them herself, exhibiting a singular interpretative intelligence, adjusted by a serious artistic stance, that has always set her apart. On the cover of this album, this unique side is captured by the French painter Anne-Sophie Tschiegg, because only an artist can really show the true face of another artist.

This album is part of an ambitious triptych: in addition to Animal Sentimental, Mísia also intends to transpose her stories and experiences into a book, that she assures, will be composed of poetic episodes and humorous and sentimental moments, of small tragedies from a long life journey, which go back to the memories of her childhood, and which, starting in 1991, began to be reflected in albums of growing success and artistic ambition; and a third part will be concerts; the opportunity to bring all that, her stories, her songs, her feelings, to the stage, after all, the natural habitat of any animal sentimental.
