Acclaimed composer and pianist Jon Gold unveils his new single “Our Love Blooms in Bossa”, a warm, expressive, and joyful bossa nova piece that marks his first composition featuring lyrics in both English and Portuguese.
The track captures the pure contentment and bliss of a woman deeply in love, embracing the joy of living fully in the present moment — neither lost in the past nor anxious about the future. With its gentle groove and luminous atmosphere, “Our Love Blooms in Bossa” radiates light and romance.
Jon Gold’s tender piano work is beautifully complemented by the endearing vocals of one of Brazil’s fastest-rising talents, Marina Marchi, whose playful and heartfelt delivery perfectly embodies the song’s spirit. Guilherme Hoss channels the elegant style of João Gilberto on guitar, while Bruno Tessele provides subtle, swinging drums.
This release continues Jon Gold’s deep connection to Brazilian music, a passion honed during his time living and working in Brazil on a fellowship from the Brazilian Government. He has performed and collaborated with legends including A.C. Jobim and Hermeto Pascoal, and has built an impressive catalog of albums featuring world-class musicians.
“Great modern bossa nova with wide appeal across many demographics,” says Gold of the track.
“Our Love Blooms in Bossa” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
