In November, the singer was featured in Lexa’s single and music video “Provocar”. In January, Groove released the single “Coisa Boa”, produced by Pablo Bispo, Sergio Santos and Ruxell.
Inspired by Brazilian political context with the election of Jair Bolsonaro, a music video was filmed in a defunct prison after a suggestion by director Sassi. The video was influenced by Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” and Orange Is the New Black and was watched by over a million and a half viewers in two days.
