La Clara Sofia Unveils New Single 'Lança'

Some songs flirt. “Lança” dares. La Clara Sofia’s latest single slips onto the floor with the kind of poised confidence that leaves no room for doubt—this is music that wants something from you. Drawing from samba-rock’s swing and the glint of disco, “Lança” plays with seduction not as a coy whisper, but as a call to action. The phrase “lançar a luva,” once a signal of confrontation, becomes here an invitation: to move, to meet, to melt. The tension is electric—not a clash, but a charge.

It’s an assured first glimpse into ABRASA, her forthcoming EP, and “Lança” wastes no time establishing the rules of engagement. A slippery, syncopated bassline from Nicolas Fleury winds around Lucimara Bispo’s tactile percussion, setting the stage for La Clara’s breathy, exacting vocals. Her delivery balances light and weight, wit and heat, never overpowering the groove but always commanding its center. You hear echoes of Rita Lee’s playful rebellion and Ana Frango Elétrico’s tonal adventurousness, but the voice is distinctly La Clara’s—alive with clarity, suggestion, and intent.

Where the studio track seduces, the live session filmed at the Centre Culturel Irlandais brings it back to the body. Stripped down and steeped in atmosphere, the performance makes visible what the song suggests: music as invocation. The camera lingers on movement, breath, and eye contact—the small details of intimacy. With Lucy Miller’s subtle backing vocals lifting the chorus and the rhythm section grounding every sway, the live version pulls the pulse into focus.

La Clara Sofia’s music has always been about hybridity—not just in genre, but in emotional language. “Lança” is both invitation and instruction, a love song and a challenge, a groove and a ghost. It’s what happens when you stop resisting the beat and step into the moment, fully.

With “Lança”, La Clara isn’t just sharing a single—she’s extending a ritual. One track in, and ABRASA already promises to burn bright.
