Anitta dropped Versions of Me back in April, marking her first album in three years following 2019’s Kisses. In an interview with IndieLand, she spoke about her trilingual effort and her efforts to incorporate sounds and collaborators from around the world. “I love mixing cultures,” she said. “I think it’s so important… [It] makes people get more into the culture of different places and get to learn different things.”
