Luísa Sobral: “Miguel Araújo is in my opinion, one of the best composers of the present moment. His characters are complex and fascinating, they make us enter the songs and want ourselves to become part of those stories.”
Ana Moura: “Miguel Araujo is one of the most interesting composers of the new generation. He has the rare capacity of x-raying us as a people. The stories and his themes are always faithfull portraits of our virtues and fragilities (...) It’s a tremendous joy to collaborate with him and I feel priviledged for that.”
Nuno Markl: (Tv Presenter, Radio Dj, Comediant): “The word “genius” is often trown backwards and forwards in a way that bastardizes its meaning but, in MIguel’s case, it fits him like glove. This young man has been one of the best kept secrets of Portuguese music, the time has come for him to be revealed”
