Domingo (Sunday) is the eighth studio album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs. The album became a gold record in Brazil.[3] It is the second Titãs album produced by Jack Endino.

Context and production

Domingo came after a period of solo projects by most of the band's members. Vocalists Branco Mello and Sérgio Britto (the latter also being the keyboardist) had released Con el Mundo a Mis Pies under their project Kleiderman; the also vocalists Paulo Miklos and Nando Reis (the latter also being the bassist) had experienced their solo debuts (Paulo Miklos and 12 de Janeiro, respectively) and guitarist Tony Bellotto had published his first book, Bellini e a Esfinge.[1][4]

The solo releases were of different styles and exposed the fact that Titãs was formed by different minds and ideas. The band itself admits the albums always ended up leaving a member disappointed. Bellotto didn't felt represented by the electronic elements of

Tudo Ao Mesmo Tempo Agora and Titanomaquia). The solo efforts did not sell well and Bellotto stated in a 1997 interview that, if any of them experienced a commercial breakthrough, they would hardly go back to the band, which didn't perform well on the radio at that time. Even returning from periods in which they could make their own decisions, the seven members gathered to try and create their eight Titãs album.[5]

By the time of the album's release, Bellotto described it as "a more opened and varied album, with a bigger diversity of musical textures, more happy and relaxed".[1] He also said the album came to prove the band was still alive, since the press allegedly considered the band to be over following so many solo efforts.[6] Reis established comparisons between this album and its predecessor Titanomaquia, which, according to him, "is a shadowier album. The new album is shinier, has more color, is more rhythmically diversified. Like a Sunday after a dark Saturday night".[1] The band also considers its diversity to reflect the musical heterogeneity within the group.[4]

Jack Endino considered Domingo as his favorite Titãs album.[7] About the creation of it, he commented:[7]

When we started to discuss the recording of 'Domingo', I told them: 'there are always good pop and rock songs in your albums. You are not a heavy metal band, but a rock band with good songs. Let's make a solid rock album that everyone can like. Let's try something different, but with the confidence that it will be good'. They were already thinking the same thing.

It was pre-produced at Nota Por Nota Studios in São Paulo, between April and August 1995; then recorded at Be Bop Sound Studios, also in São Paulo, in September of the same year; mixed at Hanzek Audio, in Seattle in October of the same year and mastered at Starling Sound, in New York City, in the same month.[2]

The album's promotional tour started on 22 December 1995 at the Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo.[6] In 1996, it was re-released with some bonus tracks, including remixed versions of "Eu Não Vou Dizer Nada (Além do que Estou Dizendo)" and "Tudo o que Você Quiser" and a new song: "Pela Paz", composed as the theme song for the campaign "Caminhada 89 pela Paz" (89 Walk for Peace), by radio 89 FM.[8]
