La Clara Sofia Fuses Groove, Gaze & Gesture on Seductive New Single ‘Lança’

Posted by VMan on May 10, 2025

La Clara Sofia’s new single “Lança” is all about tension—specifically, the kind that charges the air when a glance becomes an invitation and a rhythm becomes a dare. Drawing from the swagger of samba-rock and the shimmer of disco, the track reimagines the Brazilian phrase “lançar a luva” (to throw down the glove) not as confrontation, but as seduction. It’s a challenge to move closer. To give in. To feel.

The track marks the first release from her upcoming EP Abrasa, due October 10, and it sets the tone with purpose. Built on playful basslines, rich percussion, and her unmistakable vocal phrasing, “Lança” isn’t just catchy—it’s embodied. Everything about it moves with grace, from the poetry in her lyrics to the flirtation in her delivery. It lands somewhere between Rita Lee and Ana Frango Elétrico, but La Clara’s mix of physicality and restraint feels wholly her own.

A live session video, filmed inside the Centre Culturel Irlandais, reveals just how much breath and spirit the song carries in its bones. Backed by Lucimara Bispo, Nicolas Fleury, and Lucy Miller, she reinterprets “Lança” with a stripped, soulful intimacy that makes the groove feel almost sacred. It’s also a clear look at the world La Clara Sofia is building—one where tradition and experimentation meet, always pulsing forward.

With “Lança,” La Clara Sofia isn’t just releasing a new single—she’s extending a hand. The invitation is clear. The dance has already started.
