If You Will is an album by Brazilian jazz vocalist Flora Purim. Her first studio release in over 15 years, it was recorded in Brazil and California, and was issued in 2022 by Strut Records in celebration of the singer's 80th birthday. The album is the creative concept of Italian, London based, radio-dj Roberta Cutolo who engaged on this remote-production journey with Flora Purim during the pandemic by managing to lock a recording deal with Strut Records in the UK. They conceived and drew up together the idea of a 'latin-jazz-dance' album with a message which was going to appeal to new audiences as well as the older ones who instantly showed being particularly appreciative of the fact that Flora Purim was unexpectedly releasing something new after such a long time. On the album, which is dedicated to the memory of George Duke and Chick Corea, Purim is joined by a large group of musicians, including her husband, percussionist Airto Moreira, and daughter, vocalist Diana Purim.[1][2][3][4][5]
According to Purim, If You Will, which features a blend of old and new material, will be her final album.[6] When asked why she recorded it after such a long period of inactivity, she replied: "When I saw what was happening with the world, I felt that God didn't give me the gift of singing for no reason. I think he had something in mind. I'm supposed to help. And I cannot omit myself any longer from what's going on in the world. So I'm going to take it in stride, and I'm going to go back."[7]
