With the release of her new recording TIME AND AGAIN, internationally renowned Brazilian pianist, composer and vocalist Eliane Elias proves once more she is a multi-faceted, groundbreaking artist who continues to reach new heights in a brilliant career spanning decades. Straight off of her last two albums which earned GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY Awards plus multiple nominations, TIME AND AGAIN gives us Elias’ unique blend of her Brazilian roots and her mastery of jazz, R&B and popular song. The album marks her third recording for Candid Records and will be released June 28, 2024, on vinyl, CD and all streaming platforms.
The first single “SEMPRE” is out today and features special guest, legendary Brazilian composer, singer and pop star, Djavan. Eliane states, “I wrote the tune ‘Sempre’ (Always) with Djavan in mind, realizing what we have in common and where our lives in music intersect. The lyric talks about how we come from the same place, about our music carrying the sound of the country that formed us both, and about our love of performing and bringing that love and music to people.”

Produced by Eliane with her long-standing team of Marc Johnson and Steve Rodby TIME AND AGAIN showcases Elias’ exceptional songwriting with 8 original compositions. Featured musicians on the album include guitarists Conrado Goys, Marcus Teixeira and Daniel Santiago, along with Marc Johnson on acoustic bass, Marcelo Mariano on electric bass, and drummers Edu Ribeiro and Cuca Teixeira. Guest artists include vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, drummer Peter Erskine, the exceptional guitarist Bill Frisell, percussionists Marivaldo dos Santos and Davi Vieira, and the background vocals of Mark Kibble. Eliane first invited Mark Kibble, the arranger for Take 6 on her 2015 GRAMMY winning album Made in Brazil. “For TIME AND AGAIN Mark created background vocals on 6 of the 8 songs. I really feel we have a special affinity in the music and together, we’ve created a very unique sound,” says Eliane.
About the Music The music on TIME AND AGAIN reflects the level of artistry and ingenuity Elias has demonstrated throughout her career. The overarching melody of the opening track, “At First Sight” is a story by itself, but the lyric and music together reveal just how overwhelming and ultimately exhilarating it feels to fall in love in an instant. “Falo do Amor” (I Talk About Love) is dedicated to Eliane’s granddaughter, Lucy, whom she says is a constant source of joy and inspiration. “It’s Time” is a standout track highlighting Eliane’s seductive vocal sound which gracefully rides over the pulsing groove and lockdown rhythm work by bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Peter Erskine.
