Super (stylized in all caps) is the fourth studio album by Brazilian singer Jão. It was released on 14 August 2023, by Universal Music. Produced by Jão and Zebu, Super is a pop and pop rock album. The project concludes a series of four albums guided by the classical elements—earth (Lobos, 2018), air (Anti-Herói, 2019), water (Pirata, 2021), and fire (Super).[1]
