In the old days he dropped everything to be top 1, today weighs more live and be Larissa, says Anitta

An Anitta like most never saw. This is what the public can follow from next March 6 with the documentary “Larissa: the other side of Anitta”, from Netflix. “Before it was 90% of the time dedicated to my career and 10% with my personal life. Today, there are 70% for me as a 30% for my work. Killing me from working as before, never,” she said on meeting Virtual with journalists on the morning of Friday (7).

In fact, the documentary, which took more than three years to complete, aims to show Larissa and not so much Anitta, that the singer herself says she is a kind of character that appears from time to time. Now, her idea is to transport what you see on the screen to the routine: being more and more Larissa and less Anitta.

A few years ago, Anitta began studying more about self -knowledge and rigorously dedicating to meditation. And that, she said, completely changed her life purpose.

“I look inside with less desire to feed my ego. Anitta became almost an archetype. At many times, I saw me having to represent a character and not the person I am inside. I felt the need to show who I am to feel Free, “he said.

An example, according to her, is the absence on the Grammy 2025, a prize for which he was appointed and proud. To be there, she would have to change carnival rehearsal dates and change her holidays, something that, in this current scenario of discoveries, did not want to give up.

“In the old days it dropped everything to be top 1, today weighs more live and be Larissa. A lot of people will have difficulty and will not like to see from here to Larissa, with their insecurities and vulnerabilities. They are more used to this character that mocks, It’s sarcastic, wiggling and on the others. I’m more silent in everyday life, “he added.

Musically, Anitta has just released “Romeo”, a single with Spanish clip who uses film references to reflect the complexity of the artist. She refers to the new work as a “reggaeton mega sensual”.

With a strong beaten, the lyrics about the “night of mischief” on a dance floor. The composition is signed by Lenny Tavarez, also responsible for the hit “involve”.

“We put kisses of kisses between LGBT, trans and all sexuality. In a time of such intolerance, I find it important to revalidate the importance of visibility to sexual and gender freedom.”

At the moment, the singer travels across the country with the pre-carnavalesque tour “Anitta rehearsals”, which by the end of February will have passed 12 cities.

“I am surprised that the shows do not stop growing, everywhere we go to people, they want to participate. Carnival is a moment that requires a lot of energy, physically and mentally, but it has been worth it,” he said.
