“Funk
Generation
is
an
album
where
I
celebrate
my
roots,”
Anitta
said
in
a
press
statement.
“It’s
where
I
express
the
power
of
[Rio
de
Janeiro’s]
funk
in
every
track
its
unique,
danceable,
and
sensual
beats.
It’s
a
rhythm
born
in
the
favelas,
where
I
grew
up,
and
it
exudes
resistance
and
art
in
every
community.
I’m
proud
to
work
on
a
project
about
a
genre
that
has
been
unfairly
stigmatized
in
Brazil
but
is
slowly
gaining
recognition
worldwide.
In
the
album,
I
bring
in
important
collaborations
that
helped
me
tell
this
story.
I’ve
been
involved
in
every
step
of
the
production
and
visual
direction,
and
I’ve
achieved
the
result
I’ve
been
aiming
for.”
Anitta
began
teasing
her
new
album
last
year
when
she
released
Funk
Generation:
A
Favela
Love
Story.
She
followed
the
three-track
release
with
the
singles
“Mil
Veces”
and
“Joga
pra
Lua.”
Funk
Generation
will
be
Anitta’s
first
studio
album
for
Republic
Records.
She
signed
with
the
label
after
a
high-profile
split
from
Warner,
the
label
that
released
her
previous
album,
2022’s
Versions
of
Me.
