Luísa Sobral Shares Insights on Musical Journey and First Novel in Popular BLITZ Podcast Interview
Luísa Sobral, a renowned Portuguese singer-songwriter and author, recently graced the BLITZ podcast with her presence. The interview, which remains a popular edition of the podcast, took place in April 2025[1].
During the discussion, Luísa opened up about the inspiration behind her first novel, Nem Todas as Árvores Morrem de Pé, published before the podcast interview[1]. The book explores themes such as her relationship with faith and her musical journey.
In addition to her literary pursuits, Luísa also discussed her connection to music. She shared insights from her own experiences hosting a podcast that interviews songwriters, emphasizing the personal nature of songs and the trust involved in sharing them[2][3].
A peak moment in the conversation was the mention of her acclaimed song "Amar pelos Dois", composed for her brother Salvador Sobral[1].
It is important to note that João Luís Amorim and Rita Carmo, who are not related to Luísa Sobral, were not explicitly mentioned as being present during the interview or discussed in relation to her book, connection to faith, musical journey, or 'Amar pelos Dois'. Neither João Luís Amorim, a sound engineer, nor Rita Carmo, a photojournalist, were guests on the BLITZ podcast during this time.
Luísa Sobral, who is also a journalist named Lia Pereira, continues to make waves in the music and literary worlds, bridging the gap between these disciplines through her multidisciplinary approach.
