LOST FREQUENCIES & MARI FROES FIND THEIR ‘PARAÍSO’

Download/Stream: https://lostfrequencies.lnk.to/Paraiso

Pairing one of Europe’s most successful electronic artists, Lost Frequencies, with Brazilian singer-songwriter Mari Froes, ‘Paraíso’ folds the loose-limbed spirit and musical colour of Brazil into polished house territory. Steeped in MPB, bossa nova and samba, Froes brings her own musical heritage to the fore, as two distinct worlds find a natural meeting point.

The foundations of ‘Paraíso’ were laid in Rio de Janeiro, where Mari Froes wrote the song alongside DECCO during her time in the city. That sense of place hasn’t been polished away in the transition from song to electronic either. Instead, it sits deep within the track, from its easy rhythmic sway and organic textures to Froes’ intimate vocal, with Lost Frequencies building around those elements rather than over them, lending the whole thing an almost weightless ease.

Warm house rhythms provide the pulse, while subtle electronic flourishes and acoustic touches allow the song’s Brazilian character plenty of room to breathe. It’s a deft balancing act from Lost Frequencies, drawing ‘Paraíso’ into his melodic universe while keeping the spirit of Froes’ original composition firmly intact.

The collaboration brings together two artists whose careers have travelled markedly different paths, but whose music shares an instinct for reaching well beyond its point of origin. Lost Frequencies has become one of electronic music’s most recognisable names, while Mari Froes represents a new generation of Brazilian artists carrying the country’s musical traditions into increasingly international spaces.

For Lost Frequencies, ‘Paraíso’ arrives as the latest chapter in a career that has long since moved beyond the breakthrough success of ‘Are You With Me’. From ‘Reality’ and ‘Where Are You Now’ with Calum Scott to ‘Black Friday (pretty like the sun)’ and ‘Love Is The Only Thing’, the Belgian producer has amassed billions of streams while becoming a fixture on festival mainstages and charts around the world. Along the way, his ability to blur the boundaries between house, pop and more organic songwriting has become an increasingly recognisable calling card.

Reflecting on what appealed to him about the song, Lost Frequencies says: “Something about ‘Paraíso’ connected with me straight away. Mari’s voice and that Brazilian feeling she put into the song already had so much character. My goal was to bring my own sound into it without losing that warmth she’d created. I’m super happy with where our two styles met.”

Mari Froes, meanwhile, is experiencing her own international ascent. Drawing on Brazil’s rich musical heritage while approaching it through a distinctly contemporary lens, the singer-songwriter first cultivated a passionate audience online before ‘Vaitimbora’, her collaboration with French electronic duo TRINIX, introduced her voice to an entirely new audience. A COLORS performance further underlined her growing reputation, while an expanding touring schedule across Europe and North America has seen her songwriting travel increasingly far beyond home.

Speaking on the collaboration, Mari Froes says: “I’m so excited to finally share ‘Paraíso’ with the world. Writing it with DECCO was such a natural and joyful moment during my time in Rio de Janeiro, and having Lost Frequencies add his own universe to the song has made it even more special. As a Brazilian artist, I feel like this track carries a piece of where I come from, the warmth, the energy, and the emotion of Brazil are deeply inside it. It truly feels like different worlds meeting in the most beautiful way!”

With ‘Paraíso’, that meeting finds an easy common language, bringing the warmth of Froes’ Brazilian roots into Lost Frequencies’ global electronic orbit. Appropriately, ‘Paraíso’ translates as ‘paradise’, though here it feels less like a distant destination than a state of mind: warm air, movement and melody, as two seemingly separate sounds suddenly make complete sense together.
