The Israeli-Brazilian singer Elisete proves again that she is not only a breath taking beauty but also one of Israel's original and talented artists. These days she released the single 'It's not carnival anymore' – the first single from her third acoustic album, soon to be released.
In the end of February the biggest festival of them all takes place in Brazil – The Carnaval. It is at this time that Elisete chooses to release a song that relates to the end of the party. The song is titled 'It's not Carnaval anymore' and it speaks about the end of the festivities, end of love and the life after love.
In parallel to the life in Israel Elisete speaks about the end of the era of incense, she looks inside to the longing and pain' lets herself free from the need to make people happy at all cost and creates a work with unique colors.
'It's not Carnaval anymore' is a true representative of the new album and it has a unique blend of sadness and joy and this blend that helps Elisete in her process of healing and closure of a cycle with her previous life in brazil gets into the ears and goes straight to the heart.
The new album was produced by Israeli-Brazilian producer Avi Levin with the collaboration of Elisete, Ron Laor and Rony Ben-Ezra. The album was recorded half in Israel and Half in Brazil and it reflects Elisete as she sees herself – Half Israeli and half Brazilian. This is also why the album was written with half of the songs in Hebrew and half in Portuguese. The album created is acoustic and contemporary, lyric, melancholic sometimes and very romantic.

Fantasy - the second single
Elisete's fantasy is love and the love for Elisete is the drive force and the fantasy that keeps her going and brings her to release her third acoustic album 'Minhas core' (My colors). Fantasy is the second single released to the radio and it is a sweet-sour love song, romantic and lyric speaking about a love gone and might return. The song takes its strength from Elisete's Brazilian roots and also from her life in Israel.
Love in all its forms and the constant quest for love is a repeating motif in Elisete's songs and the listener can relate to the pain they carry as well as the joy and enlightment. It is very easy to identify with Elisete's songs because like in 'Fantasy' each one of us can understand the longing to an old love that might have been missed.
The uniqueness in the songs of Elisete lies in the way in which she takes her listeners through the maze of sad subjects with a light pace and with rythms that allow to get acquainted to the moving lyrics yet still feel that there is hope.
Elisete recently made an interview for an Australian radio show and in the interview she spoke in length about love songs in music today and about her own love songs she is writing. It is very important to her to convey the message of love in the broader sense - between people anywhere. Her songs are, among other things, a part of her journey to bring joy to people wherever they are with love being the main force behind this journey.
Like in her previous single 'It's not Carnaval anymore', in 'Fantasy' the listeners get to enjoy Elisete's voice, lyrics and melody and also the gentle touch of the production of Avi Levin that produced this album together with Elisete and Ron Laor
