Local Artist's Viral Hit Brings Attention to Mental Health

A local artist has recently gone viral with their song “Chora Me Liga, Implora Meu Beijo, DNV Me Pede Socorro”. The song has been streamed millions of times and is gaining attention from around the world. The artist behind the hit single is 19-year-old Carlos Silva, who was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. He started writing music as a way to cope with his mental health struggles and he hopes that his music will help others who are struggling too. In an interview with a local newspaper, Silva said that he wrote the song after experiencing a particularly difficult period in his life. He wanted to express how it felt to be so overwhelmed by emotion that you feel like you need someone else to help you out of it. He also wanted to make sure people knew that it was okay to ask for help when they needed it. The lyrics of the song reflect this sentiment perfectly; “Chora me liga, implora meu beijo, dnv me pede socorro” translates roughly into English as “Cry out for me, beg for my kiss, don't be afraid to ask for help”. It's clear from these words that Silva wants people who are struggling with their mental health to know that they don't have to go through it alone and there is always someone willing to listen and offer support if they just reach out and ask for it. Since its release last month, the song has gained millions of streams on streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music and has become an anthem for those struggling with mental health issues all over the world. It's even been featured on several radio stations across Brazil as well as international outlets such as BBC Radio 1Xtra in London. Silva hopes that his music will continue reaching more people around the world so he can spread his message of hope and encourage those who are suffering from mental illness not to give up but instead seek out support from friends or family or professionals if necessary.
