Cosmos is the sixteenth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab. The first part of a "trilogy of five" entitled the "Trilogia do Cosmos",[a] it was released on October 2, 2020 and is available for free download on the musician's official website[1] and for streaming.
Skylab originally announced the trilogy on his official Facebook page on August 19, 2020, claiming that its first installment would be released "in the next month or so";[2] four months prior, on March 19, the single "À Sombra de um Horizonte" came out as a teaser.[3][4] In a later Facebook post, he elaborated that the trilogy was conceived as "an homage to three of the greatest Brazilian composers: Moacir Santos, Eumir Deodato and Hermeto Pascoal";[5] thus being, it follows a minimalistic sonority "based around piano, acoustic bass and drums" inspired by samba, bossa nova and MPB, and heavily reminiscent of his 2012–15 Trilogia dos Carnavais.
"Marcha Fúnebre" was re-recorded from Skylab's 2009 collaborative album with Zumbi do Mato bassist Zé Felipe, Rogério Skylab & Orquestra Zé Felipe; his second re-recording from such album following "Tem Cigarro Aí?" on his previous output Crítica da Faculdade do Cu. "O Corpo Real da Paolla" was inspired by an article regarding actress Paolla Oliveira.[6]
