It’s probably about time we retired that nonsense about the pram in the hall. Sure, having a baby will upend your priorities, monopolise your me-time and severely restrict your capacity for hedonistic adventure. But Sessa’s magical third album is further proof that becoming a parent can enhance rather than obstruct your art.
When we first clapped eyes on Sergio Sayeg AKA Sessa, via the back cover of his striking 2019 debut album, he was stripped to the waist and locked in a disconcertingly passionate embrace with an equally half-naked woman. As for the subject matter, one song urged the object of his affections to “me fode de vez” (“fuck me once and for all”), while another was simply entitled “Orgia” (no translation required).
