Interviewer: How much is Marius Moga's contribution to this project?
Morandi: The first contact I've ever had with Marius was 3 years ago, even at his house, where myself and Smiley were composing. Actually we were more getting aquinted with the various musical studio instruments. The idea for the project came after all the praises from each person who listened to "Love Me". For a time, Morandi was kept a secret because we wanted to demonstrate to ourselves that music needs nothing more than being listened and enjoyed. And so it was...

Interviewer: What's next after the two hits, "Love Me" and "Beijo la la"?
Morandi: This fall we will launch our second album. Thus we're preparing feverishly to polish the last details. In September we will also shoot the video for the first single of the album.
