“Braille” invites you to feel every word rather than just hear it. Rico Dalasam raps and sings about a magnetic yet messy romance between two young men while painting a vivid picture of contemporary Brazil: glittery nightlife, low-pay day jobs, Instagram drama, and the heavy history of race that still shapes every interaction. The title is a clever metaphor—he wants his lover to close his eyes and read him by touch, to sense the hidden joys, insecurities, and social tensions pulsing under the surface.
Behind the playful rhymes and funky groove, Dalasam slips in sharp commentary on class gaps, colorism, and mental health. He flips between swagger and vulnerability, boasting about “Border Collie” smarts one moment and confessing borderline struggles the next. The song ultimately says: love can be brilliant, complicated, and political all at once, so slow down, trace the bumps, and discover the real story written in “Braille.”
