A FLOR DO RECOMEÇO
“A Flor do Recomeço” (The Flower of Restart) will be the first album in which he records exclusively Brazilian composers. The repertoire features unreleased songs written by names such as Adriana Calcanhotto, Arnaldo Antunes, Céu, Marcelo Camelo, Mallu Magalhães, Marcos Valle, and Tim Bernardes, among others.
Produced by Marcus Preto (Gal Costa, Erasmo Carlos, Jota.pê) and Tó Brandileone (5 a Seco, Anavitória, Mariana Aydar, and Mestrinho), A Flor do Recomeço was named after a poem by Potiguar writer Eveline Sin, set to music by Chico César—one of the most visceral songs in the repertoire.
“I am absolutely convinced that music was born in Brazil,” says Salvador Sobral, who grew up listening to Maria Bethânia in his mother’s car and Chico César in his father’s. The simple complexity of those melodies, he says, shaped his childhood and are largely responsible for his profession as a singer today.
“This album stems from the need to go to the ultimate source in order to deepen and uncover the timeless sounds from this side of the Atlantic. On the other hand, it was also my intention to bring my (modest) artistic and emotional background to interpret the songs in my own way,” Salvador says. “With that in mind, it was decided from the start with Marcus Preto that they had to be unreleased songs written by these artists and composers who are part of my musical imagery, both past and contemporary.”
Salvador points out that the idea was never to make a “Brazilian album,” but rather an album of Brazilian composers played by Brazilian musicians and sung by a Portuguese artist.
The release of A Flor do Recomeço is scheduled for the second half of 2026.

Silvia & Salvador
Sílvia Pérez Cruz and Salvador Sobral gathered for a recording that ultimately became a timeless masterpiece. Both singers and composers embarked on a highly anticipated tour in 2025, debuting new material born from a mutual desire to push the boundaries of their lifelong friendship and artistic synergy.
More than just a musical collaboration, this project stood as a celebration of shared inspirations. The repertoire featured custom, newly written pieces gifted by contemporary composers close to the duo, including Jorge Drexler, Luísa Sobral, and Lau Noah, among others.
This historic joint album, titled Sílvia & Salvador, went on to achieve massive critical acclaim, winning Best Singer-Songwriter Album and Best Song in Catalan for the track “Ben poca cosa tens” at the Spanish Music Academy Awards. These accolades further solidify the elite artistry of the duo, who also carry the distinct honor of each having previously won a prestigious Goya Award from the Spanish Academy of Cinematic Arts.

EP SAL
“This record is me in my space, singing and playing piano as I do every day. The technical imperfections of the instrument, my own fragilities as a pianist, my voice, here uncovered and therefore more open to flaws, are the essence of this kind of mini-documentary of my musical domestic everyday life.
The integration of unforeseen circumstances are elements that expose the music to the truth: the dog barking outside, the sound of the tram on the street. Three of these songs are part of my live repertoire, but until now had not yet been released, and one is an original.
All ballads. While in my concerts I like to approach and arouse all types of human emotions, here I was interested only in evoking sensations of peace and serenity.”

Paris, Lisbon
The second studio album sets a turning point in the life of Salvador Sobral. Inspired by a trip without departure or arrival, but whose points of merger are made between Paris and Lisbon—cities of great importance in the creative process of this album and an implicit reference to the Wim Wenders classic, “Paris, Texas.”

Excuse Me Live
“I have always considered myself more of a stage musician than a studio musician. The style of music I play and the musicians I play with gain another essence, another dimension when we play live.
On this album, we can hear several “conversations” that we are having between musicians and also the public’s reaction, who sometimes also want to intervene.
Sometimes Júlio (piano) might say something, to which Bruno (drums) responds immediately, or simply listens and decides not to respond. These conversations, as almost all conversations on stage are completely improvised, will stay there and will never be repeated. That’s why I like jazz so much.” — Salvador Sobral
2016
Excuse Me
Salvador Sobral’s debut album, composed between 2014 and 2016 by Salvador himself in collaboration with Venezuelan composer Leonardo Aldrey.
Jazz, Brazilian music, and the sounds of Latin America, in which he dives for inspiration, are also strong influences on this album’s narrative, which also offers reinvented versions of standards like “Autumn in New York” or Brazilian music gems like “Nem Eu” by Dorival Caymmi.
