Genre	Alternative rock

Estandarte is the tenth studio album released by Brazilian rock band Skank in 2008.

Background[]

The album features 12 new and previously unreleased songs and has partnerships with both Chico Amaral and Cesar Mauricio, in addition to the usual partnership with Nando Reis. The album also marks the return of Dudu Marote's production.

One highlight is "Ainda Gosto Dela", featuring Negra Li emerging on the charts. The album also has the participation of the band Funk Como Le Gusta. The album is pop / rock mixed with soul, funk, reggae, surf music and electronic sounds. It marks the return of the group to the tunes of their earlier work, with strong influences from recent Britpop albums.

The song "Sutilmente" has been one of the most acclaimed by fans, surprising even Samuel Rosa. In a video, lyricist Nando Reis explained that he created the lyrics based on a text he had written to the Brazilian edition of Marie Claire in 2005. The work would be featured among texts written by other men invited by the magazine, which asked them to write messages to their loved women.^[1]

Analysing the lyrics in retrospect, Reis perceived the protagonist as a vain and self-centered person who asks his beloved woman to treat him accordingly to his current state. This lead Reis's wife to nickname it "cheek guy song" and Reis to see it as the "fucked up guy song".^[1]
