The album

[edit]

This album was the first to be released after Roberto Carlos leaver the Jovem Guard Program, by TV Record,[2] the album "O Inimitável" is contemplate to be the transition album of the singer, although he still try to bring the characteristics of that genre. This album, Roberto Carlos used the influenced of Funk and Tropicália to transition from Jovem Guarda which is better know as pós-Jovem Guarda. at the time, the title of this album refers to singers that try to copy him, like, For example, the singer Paulo Sérgio.[3]

Along with the first track of this LP, with the song "E Não Vou Mais Deixar Você Tão Só" (writer by Antônio Marcos), it is noted the changed, when the past albuns have naive tracks like ("Aquele Beijo que te Dei", "É Tempo de Amar" or "Gosto do Jeitinho dela"). This was a change of the repertoire of tracks, that gradually change his own genre, passing to priority more mature and complex songs, being his first soul work, basically, more deep and shrill songs like "Se Você Pensa" and "As Curvas da Estrada de Santos" from the later album. the two biggest hits of "O Inimitável" was the track "Eu Te Amo, Te Amo, Te Amo" and "As Canções Que Você Fez Pra Mim" (both collaboration with Erasmo Carlos).[4]
