Alex D'Alva Teixeira, Homologação

Almost a year ago, we were presented to the new figure of the Portuguese music scene: Alex D'Alva Teixeira and his upbeat 3tempos.
In the summer, he released his debut EP Não é um projecto showing that he was coming to stay - for good!

Now, we are given Homologação, a cosmic kuduro that portraits what's coming with AD'AT first record.

Ben Monteiro, now one of the new members of D'Alva's world, said "We dedicated a lot of our time and effort into these songs, becoming impossible to see where does Alex end and where do I begin".
With Ben, Vitor Hugo Azevedo, Gonçalo de Almeida and Ricardo Ramos are now the musicians that follow Alex - the process was "natural, that came to leave a permanent mark in the songs that are coming".

This video is the perfect reflection of how natural their relation can be. Ben Monteiro is the director of this low-budged video - that was recorded with the challenge of using only a 10 € (a pair of lights, a chocolate and a coca-cola).

In a year, everything has changed, including Alex. About his own changes, he said "We've always assumed that we make Pop, in the most independent and different way, we expect that the people understand that our compromise is to produce good songs, independently of its category, and more than ever we have the perfect idea of where we want to go. We are D'Alva."

You can't talk about Alex D'Alva Teixeira without mentioning his impressive talent, his simplicity that blows your mind and his vicious sound.

Officially his career has started in 2006 and since then he has collaborated with big names of the Portuguese music like Tiago Guillul and Ben Monteiro.
In 2011 he participated in the song Barulho for the mixtape 20 Anos de Ruptura Explosiva, a collaboration work between Flor Caveira and Amor Fúria. Later that year he releases Mixtape - songs where he collaborates with names fro Hip-Hop, Indie and Pop.

Last February he stayed on the second place of the 17th edition of Festival Termómetro and it's one of the fantastic names to be included on the next compilation of Novos Talentos FNAC.

He already has big supporters like Samuel Fúria from Amor Fúria. Samuel Fúria wrote his press release where he mentions Alex D'Alva Teixeira has one of the newest and most interesting things, his endless talent and his capacity of creating something really fresh, new and being so impressive.
He also refers to him has D'Alva Star.

His EP Não É Um Projecto is going to be released next June 25 through Flor Caveira and he will make a live showcase on June 30, on Fnac Chiado in Lisboa.

Later this year he might release his first record.

His first video 3tempos was directed by Ben Monteiro - three different concepts, three different Alex's and three takes. The video was produced, filmed and edited in three days so it really fits the song's title.
On this video Alex shows three versions of himself and his simplicity makes it work.

"Lentamente sussuras-me ao ouvido

Enchendo-me de ti

Deixando-me vazio

Estás tão bela em cetim"
