Portuguese artist O Homem que Fugiu do Mundo has announced a new album that includes the song 'Ícaro desce e vamos falar do sol'.

At the age of 65, Pedro Abrunhosa releases 'Inverbo', a new album in a career rich with triumphs. Defending poetry from the algorithmic frenzy is his mission. And knowing how to grow older: 'I feel great respect, even for my younger colleagues who call me “old”. I find that so beautiful.'

The first song, 'Todo o Santo Dia', released in January, features Samuel Úria.

In response to 'one of the most tumultuous moments of the new world order', he made Inverbo, a nocturnal album from which an uneasy light peeks. It is released on Friday. He will present it live in Porto and Lisbon.

The act Mães Solteiras present their first release — an unsettling punk piece that confronts what they describe as 'rawness and brutality'.
Plenty of new music to discover, from albums by Dry Cleaning, Bandidos do Cante and Nunca Mates o Mandarim to songs by Bruno Mars, Morrissey, Father John Misty and Peter Gabriel. The best selection of new releases is featured every Friday on BLITZ.

Following the release of 'Mesa posta', Os Novos Românticos have unveiled a new song from their 'Criptopátria' project.

After “Adoro Bolos” and “Telemóveis” catapulted him into the spotlight, Conan Osiris withdrew. He made a surprise return at the end of 2025 with “Xenonexo”, his new album, and an extra disc of gems from 2015.

Before Avô Cantigas, Carlos Alberto Vidal was already making records for grown-ups. We hosted him at Posto Emissor as he celebrates the 50th anniversary of the progressive rock album with which he debuted, to talk about the artists he used to imitate in the mirror as a child, the longevity of Avô Cantigas and the success of the 'Cantiga do Chouriço'. In the 263rd episode of BLITZ's podcast, we also cover the end of MTV and the albums we're most looking forward to hearing in 2026.

André Henriques, Pedro “Gaza” Cobrado, Quim Albergaria and Ricardo Martins; a band in spontaneous combustion; and an album, “Vamos ser breves”. We spoke to them before their concerts in Porto and Lisbon.

Eight years after 'Adoro Bolos' and six after 'Telemóveis', he returns with 'XENONEXO'. A distinctive identity, always surprising. Conan Osiris in full, with much to say. A unique voice.

In addition to returning to albums, the self-taught musician also released 'MUSICÆ MMXV', a mini-album of tracks he put out independently in 2015. 'Xenonexo' comprises 20 songs.

In the closing months of 2025, we look back at the best Portuguese albums of the year as chosen by the BLITZ team. In third place is “Ferry Gold”, on which A Garota Não regards the world with careful affection.
