Since 2004 with "Querem Acabar Comigo, Roberto", the successor of her debut album "Solteira Producta" from 2003, we have been expecting Karine Alexandrino's third album, announced in 2007 to be a concretion of her character Mulher Tombada (which could be translated to "fallen woman", but losing the sense of recognition of the cultural value of an asset, which turns it into official heritage, the whole sense behind the charcter besides the performatic fallens).
But up until 2011, Karine went on hiatus in which she gave birth to her son Fausto, faced a postpartum depression and had problems with alcohol that ended up leading to a rehab. With her third album, she wants to be reborn.
For an interview to TPM magazine in 2001, she stated the album was in the mastering and it'll come with the influence of what she likes and never stopped listening: her eternal references, the Jovem Guarda, Rita Lee, David Bowie, latin music and western movies soundtracks.
"This Mulher Tombada falls, but the truth is that it is important to all people to fall to have an awareness of what reality really is. The album is all centered in fall, renewal, searching, of a new life. It is the famous fall and rise."
In early 2014, Karine has surfaced again in a quick interview saying that all of the 15 tracks of the album have already been produced, recorded and mixed under the supervision of Ceará talent, Dustan Gallas. However, with a deadline for the first semester of last year, an official date for the release was not set.
Although some of the songs have been sent out via her soundcloud, nothing have been confirmed yet. But after a public feud between Karine herself and the rising-rapper Karol Conká on the authorship of the expression of "tombamento" (which Conká and her producers clearly appropriated on her single, "Tombei"), Karine have spoken again and silently announced via her instagram account a new song, "Cabaret Producta", to be on her new album, to be released post-carnival (which means March 2015).
Let's hope this time the Mulher Tombada finally falls.
