Meu Coco

Meu Coco (lit. 'my coconut' – colloquial for 'my head') is a studio album by Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Caetano Veloso, released on 21 October 2021 through Sony Music and Uns Produções. It is his first studio album of entirely original compositions since his last, Abraçaço (2012), following a nine-year hiatus from solo studio work. Meu Coco was written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was largely produced in the home studio of Veloso's apartment in Rio de Janeiro, with assistance from musician and producer Lucas Nunes. "Anjos Tronchos" was released as the lead and only single on 16 September 2021.

Musically, Meu Coco is an MPB and tropicália album with elements of samba and religious influences. The album features a guest appearance by Portuguese artist Carminho. Across its 12 tracks, they explore themes such as love, identity, prophecy, and Brazilian cultural memory. Veloso references figures like João Gilberto and Maria Bethânia, incorporates Middle Eastern and Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and engages with political commentary, particularly in response to the Presidency of Jair Bolsonaro. The album received generally positive reviews from critics and was nominated for Best MPB Album at the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards. It also appeared on four year-end best-of lists from publications including El País Uruguay, Le Monde, NPR, and The Washington Post.
