Meu Momento is Wanessa's sixth studio album (seventh overall) released on June 1, 2009.^[1] The music was a hit on the radio. The second work was not get me wrong, a song that mixes English and Portuguese, and also enjoyed success on Brazilian radio.^[2] Produced by the renowned DJ Deeplick, the repertoire left aside the romantic focus of the previous work of the singer, being more directed to the musical trends worldwide, such as electro-pop and rhythm and blues, inspired by Felipe Harmata's folk songs.^[3]

The album spawned two singles: "Fly" was the lead-single and reached #1 on radios stations and features the american rapper Ja Rule. Wanessa sings the song in English.^[4] "Não Me Leve a Mal (Let me Live)" was released as the second single on November 2009.^[5]

Composition

The album is a differential in relation to the composers. Deeplick wrote most of the songs, along with Marcelo Mira, which made Jason Deere, César Lemos and Karla Aponte (their longtime partners) completely out of the album. Lu Cardoso (wife of presenter Fausto Silva) wrote 2 songs, while Wanessa herself wrote only 3 songs. In "Fly" Wanessa tells about his musical trajectory. "Gosto Tanto", "Sentindo a Minha Vida", "Como eu Te Quis", "Vou Propor" and "Te Beija" theme romantic relationships in their most different formats. In "Desejos", "Perdeu" and "Dono da Noite" the theme is the woman and her own desires. "Do not Take Me Alone" talks about resentment of betrayal and revenge. "Máquina Digital" makes an analogy to consumerism. "O Que Vem do Reggae é Bom" and "Me Leva" tells about enjoying the night and dancing. "Things of Life" has as its theme the experience of life that each carries.

Disclosure

Several presentations to launch and drive the disclosure were made, the official launch of the CD took place at Domingão do Faustão.^[6][7] A surprise presentation was made at the nightclub The Week to publicize his new music style in which she made a memorable cover performance of the hit Just Dance Lady Gaga leading the audience to madness after that there were several invitations to other presentations that originated the Tour Balada who toured Brazil. Wanessa made his first appearance with its own single in the BMV and competed in the categories "Best Pop Video" and "Hit of the Year" with Fly.^[8][9]

He also participated in the event Fashion Rocks singing Fly Me Take and not evil, in the same event also presented the singers Mariah Carey, Grace Jones and Ciara. Due to the success of Fly on the radio, Wanessa was invited to open shows of Florianópolis and Rio de Janeiro during the singer Beyoncé I Am... World Tour Brazil, his set had 6 tracks highlighting Fly and served to introduce the new style Wanessa to an essentially more pop audience.^[10]

Critical reception

The album received mixed reviews. Columnist Gilberto Tenório of O Grito! "The first single from Meu Momento already makes clear the option for this new phase." Fly "could very well be on a CD by some American R&B singer." But the final evaluation is negative for the album, saying that Wanessa tries to look more modern, but ends up with no self-identity and "a handful of disposable songs" on the album, citing "Desejos" as robotics, Gosto Tanto" Generic, and " Do not get me wrong "classified as" of dubious tastes like "my head is not a step." He praises Wanessa's intention for new sonorities, and even finds a style of his own, but that resulted in a "handful of disposable songs". Critic Mauro Ferreira from Musical Notes column commented that the production of Deeplick and Denilson Miller tries to insert Wanessa into the pop scene, but for him the album "sounds artificial like the beats that surround Wanessa's voice, giving the impression of That the twist was planned in its smallest detail in the marketing room of Sony Music".

Edwin Leroy of LuxoLana's website said the compositions are weak and that Wanessa "still sins in song lyrics - some seem to be more childish than the image Wanessa seems to keep today," but praises the entries, saying that this Was the positive step of the album.^[11]
