As Super Novas by Ivete Sangalo

Her 2005 album, As Supernovas, received triple platinum certification shortly after its release. The album was less upbeat than the others and included some songs with a 70s touch, with the big influence of Brazilian singer Ed Motta. She also included the hit "Soy Loco por ti America", a Gilberto Gil song. Ivete's cover would become the theme song of Rede Globo's soap opera América and thanks to the tie-in, the song became very popular. The "Abalou" single wasn't as big as some of her previous singles, but still managed to reach number four. "Quando a Chuva Passar" recently reached number two on the Brazilian singles chart and was notable for being nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards, an uncommon feature for a non-Spanish speaking singer.

On December 16, 2006, she performed in the biggest stadium in the world, Maracanã, where Paul McCartney, Rush, Rolling Stones, RBD, and Madonna performed. She was the first national act to perform in the Carioca stadium since pop phenomenon Sandy & Junior in 2002. The concert was released as a DVD in May 2007. While her last live DVD was an MTV Ao Vivo, this new one was from the Multishow Ao Vivo brand.

Em 2005 Como tudo o que leva o toque mágico de Ivete, o novo disco é divertido, espontâneo, extrovertido, mas ao mesmo tempo sensual, como se pode ver pelas fotos e pela capa que foi inspirada em características dos anos 70-80. Mas as referências não ficaram apenas à estética dessa época: ecos de Frenéticas, disco music e da soul music do pessoal da Motown também aparecem em ‘As Supernovas’.
