It's hard not to smile while listening to
Little Electric Chicken Heart. Ana Fainguelernt, who sings under the moniker Ana Frango Elétrico, has created a charming album that emits sunshine in every track. When listening to her playful singing cadence and colorful instrumentation, one may be reminded of a young Tropicália-era Gal Costa. This is not to say that there is a strong vocal similarity between the two or that Fainguelert is simply mining the past for her sound. However,
Little Electric Chicken Heart is a clear descendant of Brazilian legends such as Costa and Os Mutantes' Rita Lee. The sound is different, but the energy, especially the joy, is familiar.
