Vício Inerente

The album contains 12 tracks written by Marina Sena in collaboration with producer Iuri Rio Branco[2] and has four singles, "Tudo pra Amar Você" and "Olho no Gato", "Que Tal", "Dano Sarrada" and "Mande um Sinal".[3][4]

The album has a pop sound, with influences from Brazilian popular music, experimental music, trap and R&B,[5] in addition to rap and hip hop in the track "Que Tal", in partnership with the paulistan rapper Fleezus.[6]

The album's cover arts and visuals were directed by Miguel F. Mello and presented the singer in a futuristic atmosphere, with reference to the city of São Paulo, known as "jungle of stones". According to Sena, the visuals seek to represent "a girl who left the countryside and went to live in the capital", in reference to the singer's move from Minas Gerais to the capital of São Paulo as a result of her professional rise. In contrast to the urban visuals, the arts also bring elements connected to the sea, such as the shell, which, according to Marina, refers to "a longing, something of wanting to hear nature, the sea".[2]

After the release of her first album in her solo career, entitled De Primeira, Marina Sena continued her work and released three singles, appearing at the top of Spotify's "Viral Global" chart, with the track "Por Supuesto".[7]

Marina continued the work on her debut album and performed in all regions of Brazil on the De Primeira tour,[8] performing in European countries such as Germany, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.[9][10]

The successful work launched Marina Sena to fame, earning her national recognition and a contract with the Sony Music Brazil label, which would be responsible for the release of the second album. Regarding the contract with the label, Sena stated:

"I went to Sony because there comes a time when you need help, something bigger, if you want to grow. I need to be publicized outside Brazil, and I wouldn't be able to do it alone. I'm going to release Vício Inerente with the certainty that my music will be played on the radio, my post will be sponsored for people who have never accessed my music, my face is showing up in places I'm not even seeing."

— Marina Sena, for Elle.[11]

On February 17, 2023, Marina announced the new contract with Sony and the release of the first single from the second studio album, entitled "Tudo pra Amar Você".[12] The song was made available on digital platforms on February 23 and the respective music video was released later on YouTube, on that date.[13]

The single was the cover of Spotify's official playlist, "Pop Brasil" for just over 1 month. It debuted in the top 200 of Spotify Brasil, occupying position 170 with 141,315, it ranked 31 on Apple Music Brazil, the music video on YouTube entered position #7 of the videos on the rise.. Regarding the music video for the track, Sena stated:

"Everything was so beautiful, with a narrative in my style. A lot of sensuality, movement, sexual tension, a casting with only beautiful people, and me being hot and enjoying life, the way I like it"

— Marina Sena, for Rolling Stone Brazil.[12]

As part of the strategy to promote the first single and the new album, on March 16, 2023, Marina presented "Tudo pra Amar Você" live for the first time at the Encontro com Patrícia Poeta.[14] On April 24, 2023, Marina Sena performed the song live on TVZ hosted by Pocah.[15] On April 30, 2023, Sena performed the tracks "Tudo Pra Amar Você" and "Olho no Gato" on TV Globo's Fantástico program.[16]

Vício Inerente hit the platforms on April 27, 2023, with 12 tracks that innovated in the aesthetics and sound traditionally presented by Marina Sena. She brought a more urban look to the album's visuals, linked to the city of São Paulo, where she lived when the album was produced. The artist also brought a predominant pop rhythm, using synthesizers and influences from experimental and psychedelic music.[17]

After the release of the album and following the interview shown on the program Fantástico, Sena released "Olho no Gato" as the second single, on April 30, 2023.[18] Before being released as a single, the track reached position 100 of the Top 100 Spotify Brazil.[19]

After the track's success on social media, Marina Sena had to change her entire singles release logistics and release "Que Tal" as the album's third single on September 25, 2023, 1 day before her birthday.[20]
