Two artists met at the perfect moment in their creative journeys and something extraordinary happened: They captured magic. Samantha e Adrian is more than just an album—it is the story of a profound artistic connection between Brazilian actress/singer Samantha Schmütz and American composer Adrian Younge. This record is the intersection where Rio and Los Angeles merge into a lush, cinematic, and deeply personal experience created by two musical soulmates.
Produced and recorded at Younge’s Linear Labs, an all-analog studio, Samantha & Adrian is a grand, orchestral, and soulful record. It’s a bridge between Brazil’s MPB tradition and the elegance of 1970s LA soul. With sweeping string arrangements, rich harmonies, and undeniable grooves, the album conjures the feeling of a lost classic—music that takes the listener back to a 1970s studio session yet feels entirely fresh and contemporary.
This highly anticipated album is the epitome of analog transcendence, a sonic world fueled by a 30-piece orchestra, analog synthesizers, breakbeats and Brazilian vocalists that carol psychedelic melodies in Portuguese. Something About April III (SAA III), Adrian Younge pushes the musical franchise forward with fearless conviction, surpassing its predecessors as an essential piece in today’s vinyl culture.
“Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011. However, I didn’t have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers’ perspective, it’s the album I’ve been diggin’ for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.”
Based on a pair of 1970s vintage aviator sunglasses owned by Adrian Younge, this model fuses the distinctive cable temple details found in 1950s safety glasses.
From the beautifully curved front design to the precise length and angle of the temples—carefully calculated so that the tips of the cable temples are visible even from the front—every element has been meticulously engineered. This uncompromising attention to detail gives the frame a strong and unmistakable presence.
The lenses are available in half colors of Champagne Pink and Dark Yellow, as well as brown lenses with mirror coating. Made from CR-39, a material known for its high transparency and excellent durability, the lenses achieve a high-level balance between design and functionality.
The brow parts features 8mm-thick acetate to emphasize presence, paired with an original, voluminous pattern rim featuring diamond-shaped punch-out detailing that adds depth and subtle shadow to the profile. While based on a timeless form, the design achieves a refined three-dimensionality through careful material selection and structural design.
The temples, seamlessly connected from the end pieces, are made of titanium, offering lightweight comfort and high durability, while their sharp lines bring a clean, focused impression.
The lenses are available in half colors of Champagne Pink and Dark Yellow, as well as a deep Bottle Green. Made from CR-39, they combine high transparency, durability, and comfortable wear.
Born from a dialogue between respect for the past and contemporary craftsmanship, this piece is designed to be cherished across generations—much like music itself.
