I mastered the single “Rope” by Henrique Tomé released in July 2025. The single is the first advance from the upcoming album to be released at the end of 2025.
“After several years as a composer and bassist in projects such as Balter Youth, Silentide and Vitoria Vermelho, Henrique Tomé – also known on the independent music scene as a producer and cultural agent from Porto – is going solo with “Rope”, his debut single. The song comes ahead of the album “Thin Ice”, scheduled for release at the end of 2025 on Biruta Records. Already available on all digital platforms, “Rope” marks a new creative stage in the musician’s career, now also as a vocalist and lyricist.
“Rope” is an energetic and emotional song that marks the beginning of the album’s second act, symbolizing a reunion with hope. “It’s a story about meeting someone who lights you up at the end of the tunnel, the rope that makes you climb higher,” shares the artist. “It portrays friendship, love that wants to be unarmed, giving yourself to someone else and breaking down the wall that isolates you.”
“Thin Ice” will be an album divided into two acts – the first of conflict, the second of resolution – with a narrative structure inspired by classical dramaturgy. Between dense soundscapes and moments of lyrical purification, the album proposes an emotional and symbolic journey through the fragility of existence, anxiety and the possibility of overcoming.”

The recording was done at Estúdio Cedofeita and produced by João Freitas and Gabriel Valente, who also handled the mixing of the track.
