Carol Biazin’s ‘assumo os riscos’ leaves nothing in reserve across six tracks

Carol Biazin’s new EP opens with its title already committed. “assumo os riscos” — Portuguese for “I assume the risks” — is six tracks that decline to explain themselves; they arrive fully formed, carrying the weight of a decision that clearly predates the recording.

The EP marks a shift in how Biazin frames her work. The production choices favor exposure over comfort: where her earlier releases built warmth as a buffer between the singer and the listener, “assumo os riscos” closes that distance. The risk named in the title is not rhetorical.

Six tracks and more than 108,000 plays on Last.fm — the audience is growing, and it follows a recognizable pattern: listeners who locate Biazin’s catalogue tend to stay inside it. The 3,385 dedicated listeners on the platform represent a core already formed rather than still arriving.

Biazin positions herself in a tradition of Brazilian songwriting where directness is craft rather than accident — the confessional edge of MPB refined through acoustic pop structures that have found international audiences in recent years. “assumo os riscos” lands squarely in that current without chasing it.

Six tracks is a deliberate limit. Carol Biazin named this EP with accuracy: every decision on it looks like something she agreed to bear, and “assumo os riscos” is better for it.
