Plastic Soda is the second studio album by the Brazilian musician Jupiter Apple, released on September 1, 1999 by independent label Trama.[1] Unlike its predecessor, it is fully sung in English and mixes more elements of jazz and traditional Brazilian genres such as samba and bossa nova amid the psychedelia Jupiter Apple is known for.[2] Marcelo Birck, who previously collaborated with the musician in A Sétima Efervescência, returns for this release. Future Cachorro Grande guitarist Marcelo Gross was also a guest musician, providing drums.
