O Tempo É Agora (English:The Time Is Now) is the second studio album by Brazilian duoAnavitória, released on 3 August 2018 via Forasteiro andUniversal.[1] It was produced byMoogie Canazio andTiago Iorc, the latter continuing his role from theirfirst album. In 2019, the album won theLatin Grammy for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album.
Pedro Antunes fromO Estado de S. Paulo said "it's curious to notice how the innocence was lost. They're still Anavitória, more optimistic than any other thing, but their songs now suffer. Because not everything is about flowers, bare feet and filled beds, after all". He also thought Ana Caetano was now a better composer and did not put too much weight on the metaphors, dealing with senses and feelings".[2]
Robson Gomes, fromJornal do Commercio, said "musically speaking, little has changed since the 2016 debut album and O Tempo é Agora. But the more recent work is marked by the maturing of lyrics and their evolution as artists."[3]
Mauro Ferreira, fromG1, said "Anavitória's sound has been being ground on the show business machine. (...) The album O tempo é agora is the result of this urgency in explore the moment and exhaust a success formula that, perhaps, won't be so effective in the market". He also believes that this supposed commercial exploit impacted in the duo's music. "What sounded natural in the 2016 album (...) already seems artificial in the current one (...). He ended his review saying that "if everything – sold out shows, hundreds of views in video platforms, the fans fervor – is gone in a probably still distant future, Anavitória might still resist in the scene due to the essence that the music industry cannot grind to the full in the albumO tempo é agora."[4]
O Tempo É Agora was ranked as the 37th best Brazilian album of 2018 byRolling Stone Brasil.[5]
