Xuxa 5 (Xuxa Five) is the seventh studio album and the sixth in Portuguese by Brazilian pop singer, TV host and actress Xuxa Meneghel. It was released on August 1, 1990 by Som Livre. It was the fifth album in the series Xou de Xuxa. The best-known songs from this album are "Pinel Por Você", "Trem Fantasma" and mainly "Lua de Cristal". The album sold more than 1 million copies, receiving diamond certification by Associação Brasileira de Produtores de Discos (ABPD).

Production

In Xuxa 5, it is possible to notice a certain maturation of the production of the Xuxa albums. Without leaving aside what the public liked in the other four previous albums of the series Xou da Xuxa, the album brings influences of other rhythms like lambada that was the great fashion of the time.

There were 20 songs recorded for the album, but only 13 were chosen for the tracklist. Among those discarded was the "Direito dos Baixinhos", which was sung in the Xuxa Xou's special XV.

"Lua de Cristal", the biggest hit on the album and the second largest in Xuxa's career, was composed primarily as the theme song for the film. Xuxa liked it so much that she decided to include it in the album. "Pinel Por Você", another highlight track, was the last composition of Cid Guerrero for Xuxa that became hit.

The Children's Queen always worried about passing messages on her records, she wanted children to learn something by listening to her songs. In "Cobra, Chapéu e Palito", the singer teaches the difference between accents. Already in "Leitura", as its title says, was composed to encourage children to read more books. In addition to "O Boto Rosa" that talks about nature.

Xuxa 5 was produced in partnership with the double Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas, with artistic coordination Max Pierre and Aramis Barros. It was recorded in the studios of Som Livre.

Promotion

Almost all the songs on the album were performed on the program, but "Lua de Cristal", "Pinel Por Você" and "Trem Fantasma" were the most worked.

Only three songs from the album have garnered music videos in their release phase. "Pinel Por Você" a video screened by Fantástico (Fantastic), "O Boto Rosa" a video shown in Xou da Xuxa and "Lua de Cristal", two videos: one in the Christmas special of 1990 and another in the program.

To promote the album, the Xuxa 90 tour took place in Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife and Belo Horizonte, as well as performances in countries such as Paraguay and Chile.
