“Até o Fim” is the debut EP by Téo Fortes – a powerful fusion of Brazil Funk, Afrobeat and Latin grooves, created between the shores of Paraty and the sun-drenched streets of Spain’s Costa Blanca.

These four tracks are a soundtrack for a world in crisis: songs of digital resistance (Me Deixa Respirar, Tela Que Me Come), of reclaiming simplicity (Só O Que Importa), and of undying love (Amor Até o Fim) even as bombs fall and machines rise.

Driven by raw percussion, hypnotic basslines, and the fire of protest grooves, Téo Fortes blends the spirit of the favela with a call for hope – music to make you move, think, and feel.

Released on Kimpituy, home of Velvet Petals, Samtblüten, and Calalga Beats.

Só O Que Importa

Save the World

Sugar & Steam is a steamy, lo-fi blend of neo-soul, R&B, and soft rap - a playful vignette of flirtation told through the ritual of coffee. Warm vocals drift between melody and conversational flow, layered over hazy jazz-hop textures and downtempo beats. Coffeehouse details (names misspelled, foam surprises, saved corners) become metaphors for touch, ritual, and desire.

Intimate yet groove-driven, this track feels like a whispered conversation stretched into rhythm: sensual, ritualistic, and irresistibly smooth.

(Overall Mood and Concept)
Sugar & Steam is a flirtatious, atmospheric track that lives at the edge of neo-soul, lo-fi R&B, and soft rap. The piece takes the ritual of a morning coffee and turns it into a sensual metaphor, weaving steam, spice, and routine into imagery of desire, intimacy, and repetition. It’s playful yet magnetic- a café vignette stretched into ritual, where every glance and every pour holds more meaning than the cup itself.

(Vocal Approach)
The vocals carry the duality of intimacy and swagger. The sung lines are warm and smooth, evoking a slow-brew soulfulness, while the spoken and soft rap sections add conversational immediacy. That blend gives the track its modern edge: it feels sung and confided at the same time, a mixture of lo-fi croon and bedroom confessional with rhythmic cadence.

(Lyrics & Poetics)
The lyrics are highly sensual without being explicit, “sugar in my coffee, steam across my skin” sets up a tactile metaphor that is extended playfully throughout. Everyday coffee-shop details (names misspelled, tips, foam, corners saved) become a ritualized language of attraction. The repetition of “Save that corner for me” near the end drives home that what seems casual is actually charged with longing and dependence.


[LYRICS]

Mmm…
You already know how I take it.
No cream, no sugar- just you…

Sugar in my coffee,
Steam across my skin.
Every pour you give me
Pulls the warmth from deep within.

Spice beneath the surface,
Drip that slow routine
You don’t ask if I want sweet,
You just serve it sugar & steam.

Your hands on the cup like you mean more.
Names misspelled, but I still score.
You lean on the counter, watch me flinch
One wink, and I lose my common sense.

Shots pull slow, you draw 'em long
Bitterness right, but your touch? Strong.
Every glance says stay, every smile says sip,
And I’m caught in that swirl from your morning script.

You stir slow like you know what it does…
Lookin’ like Sunday morning in a Monday rush…

Told me once it’s just coffee

Mm, lies.

I tip in exact, but you hand back change
Say it’s for luck, or to mess with my brain.
You ask if I want foam
I say surprise me…
And you do, with that look, that touch, precisely.

This ain’t no café thing- it’s ritual now.
I crave that steam more than I’d allow.
A thousand drinks, none hit like this!
Whatever you’re brewin’, it brews with bliss.

Sugar in my coffee,
Steam that makes me stay.
You press the morning into me
In a bold and crooked way.

Cinnamon on top now,
Dreams beneath the cream
No need to sweeten nothin’,
You already got the steam.

Save that corner for me.
Save that corner for me.
Save that corner for me.

Tomorrow same time… right?

Sugar & Steam – Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul, and a touch of Retro Soul served slow and warm.

Bleed & Believe

"Songbird Says" is an energetic folk-rock anthem from Velvet Petals, blending heartfelt storytelling with driving acoustic rhythms and electric guitar layers. Inspired by the spirit of modern indie folk, it delivers soaring harmonies, punchy drums, and a raw yet uplifting energy. Perfect for open roads, festival sunsets, and those moments when the world feels wide open.

Songbird says

„Spuren“ von Samtblüten ist eine soulig-minimalistische Folktronica-Ballade über Abschied, Verlust und das, was bleibt. Warme Akustikgitarren, intime Vocals und ein Hauch von Vinylknistern treffen auf tiefe Bässe, dezente Lofi-Drums und sanfte Synth-Flächen. Die Neo-Soul-inspirierten Harmonien umarmen jede Zeile, während sich im Hintergrund verwischte Klangfarben aus Folk und Electronica verweben.

Für alle, die den Moment zwischen Festhalten und Loslassen kennen – und die Spuren, die bleiben.

Spuren

Text 1. Deutsch 2. Englisch
Strophe 1
Ich hab’ so oft den Mut gesucht,
tausend Worte in mir verflucht,
jeden Blick von dir gezählt,
doch nie den Schritt zu dir gewählt.
 
zu dir gewählt.  
Dann stehst du da, so nah bin fast bei dir,
und plötzlich drehst du dich zu Ihr,
und zwischen uns tritt dunkle Nacht,
die meinen Traum zunichtemacht.
 
Pre-Chorus
Sie steht da wie ein Schatten,
der sich in mein Leben stellt,
nimmt mir all die Farben,
In meiner wunderschönen Welt.

Chorus
Nur eine Sekunde zu spät,
mein Herz weiß, dass es untergeht,
du bist das Glück, das ich verlier,
während sie zwischen uns steht, zwischen dir und Mir:
 
Strophe 2
Dein Lächeln schmerzt wie grelles  Licht,
 ihre Hand berührt dein Gesicht,
ich seh’ ihr kommt euch, lachend, nah –
und weiß, mein Traum wird nie mehr wahr.
 
In mir schreit alles, Ich will zu dir,
doch mein Köper  bleibt leider hier,
 mit dem Schlag, der mich zerreißt,
weiß ich, das ihr auf mich scheißt

Bridge
Vielleicht trifft dich mein Blick 
oder hörst du mein Herz klopfen,
 
doch der Moment, er bleibt zerbrochen,
und ich schreie still vor schmerz

Chorus (Reprise)
Nur eine Sekunde zu spät,
und meine Welt wird stiller Schnee,
du bist das Glück, das ich verlier,
trotz dem glaub ich das ich dich wieder seh.

Pre-Chorus
Sie steht da wie ein Schatten,
der sich in mein Leben stellt,
nimmt mir all die Farben,
In meiner wunderschönen Welt.

Englisch:

Verse 1
I’ve searched for courage time and again,
cursed a thousand words in vain,
counted every glance from you,
yet never dared to follow through.

Then you stand there, so close I’m almost near,
and suddenly you turn to her,
and between us falls the darkest night,
that shatters all my dreams in sight.

Pre-Chorus
She stands there like a shadow,
stepping into my life,
stealing all the colors
from my beautiful world.

Chorus
Just a second too late,
my heart knows it will sink in fate,
you are the joy I’m losing here,
while she stands between us, between you and me.

Verse 2
Your smile burns like blinding light,
her hand touches your face so slight,
I see you laughing, leaning near—
and know my dream will disappear.

Inside I’m screaming, I want to run to you,
but my body stays, frozen through,
and with the blow that tears me apart,
I know you’ve cast me from your heart.

Bridge
Maybe you’ll catch my gaze,
or hear my heart pounding loud,

but the moment stays in pieces,
and I scream in silence from the pain.

Chorus (Reprise)
Just a second too late,
and my world turns to silent snow,
you are the joy I’m losing still,
yet I believe I’ll see you again someday.

Pre-Chorus
She stands there like a shadow,
stepping into my life,
stealing all the colors
from my beautiful world.

„Neuer Chor“ von Samtblüten ist ein moderner SoulPop-Track zwischen Melancholie und Hoffnung.
Ein Lied über Aufbruch, Verbundenheit und die Kraft gemeinsamer Stimmen.

✨ Für alle, die Musik als Reise zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit lieben.
🕊️ Sing it, feel it, be part of the new choir.

Neuer Chor

A raw and haunting alternative rock anthem. Cage captures the claustrophobic tension of isolation, with fragile verses collapsing into walls of feedback and distortion. Think hypnotic 90s grunge energy fused with underground post-punk grit: quiet, brooding moments explode into feedback storms and heavy riffs.

This track is both vulnerable and defiant — a mantra of being trapped inside yourself, yet still screaming to be heard.

🔥 For fans of raw alternative, grunge revival, and dark emotional rock.

Cage

A high-energy fusion of late-90s Big Beat vibes and raw indie rock spirit. Driven by breakbeat drums, fuzz bass, and looping guitar riffs, this remix transforms the original jangly Velvet Petals sound into a club-ready anthem. Mantra-like vocals push through walls of distorted guitars and explosive drops, blending rock authenticity with electronic firepower.

Turn it up loud – this is where guitars meet the dancefloor.
