nao posso te levar a serio is the debut single from saravah soul on tru thoughts, and it packs a punch from the outset. the title translates into english as i cant take you seriously. the lyrics, in portuguese, give a girl a good ticking off for playing games which brazilian frontman and lyricist, otto nascarella, quite frankly cant be doing with. a half brazilian, half british outfit singing in both english and portuguese, saravah souls exciting, original sound has exploded out of london?s cultural melting pot to create this tasty fusion of raw, afro brazilian funk. the hi energy brass of the intro to nao posso te levar a serio, with guitar bubbling underneath, is pure funk. consistently exciting percussion from jack yglesias underpins this track and announces a catchy, satisfying chorus. the b side to this single is an exclusive instrumental version of the electrifying album cut supersossego. bringing on the sound of rio carnival, this is a dancefloor filler in waiting. the track starts out as a mean dose of stripped down funk and stealthily evolves over the course of an exhilarating five minutes, to hit you unexpectedly with a raucous samba batacuda bomb to which staying still is not an option. both tracks on this 7inch announce saravah souls arrival as ones to watch and provide a tantalising snapshot of what to expect from this varied and vibrant bands forthcoming album on tru thoughts.
