Alex Forte’s new EP, "Morena," is a powerful tribute to identity and cross-cultural pride. The release may be short, under 14 minutes and across five tracks, but it’s radiant with a potent story and soul-deep feeling. Fusing his African American roots with Afro-Brazilian imagery referencing the film City of God, Forte creates a personal yet archetypal sonic world.

"Morena" captivates the listener from its opening notes with an intimacy and authenticity that sizzles. Forte speaks from a deep place. The title track stands out, a personal tribute to the beauty and status of cultural identity. It’s more like a slow-burning love song to heritage and history, sung beneath storm-tossed clouds with poetic fury.

Another treasure, Amazonas, throbs with rhythmic vitality and deep spirituality. It offers an immersive picture of ancestral belonging, at once a festive embrace and a somber invitation to remember. Forte’s voice floats among worlds, articulating a diasporic experience that is as emotional as it is enlightening.

The series is remarkable in its earnestness, making " Morena " captivating. These are experiences lived and rendered musical. Forte’s vision is as clear as it is simple: this is about self-acceptance, cultural pride, and transcending continents through the common language of sound. Whether you’re vibing on the lush production or contemplating the gravity of his words, the EP leaves a long-lasting impact. With "Morena," Alex Forte tells the truth. It’s an offering, an invitation, a movement, all at once.
