Sinais dos Tempos is the nineteenth album by Brazilian solo artist Zé Ramalho, the first released through his new and own record label, Avôhai Music, and also the first after four consecutive tribute albums. The track "Indo com o Tempo" makes a reference to his cocaine addiction, in the words "fase negra". His son João Ramalho guest sings on the album. Ramalho said he wanted to release an original album in 2012 because it is the year in which the Mayan calendar ended and many people believe that this will be the end of the world. After I reached my sixties, it seems like the years are rushing by. Time goes by fast and this reminds me of a song by Rolling Stones, "Time Is on My Side". I see myself in a crazy, fast and cruel world and having to be inspired by it to make my work of art. Fans had been asking me for an album with original songs, but I spent the last five years reflecting about changes that occurred and making music slowly. "Sinais" is a track that talks about it. I had a moment in which I cried during the recording of the vocals, as I remembered many things. I hope I manage to pass this emotion to the people.
