LAZYWAX “VOODOO?”REMIX HERE “VOODOO?” HERE (+ LIVE SESSION HERE)
It is midnight, and you are listening to l'Impératrice talking to you about love. After the fiery “VOODOO?”, the band invites us to a ballad with a heady melody, reminding us of the warm perfume of a winter evening. Halfway between Giorgio Moroder and George Orwell, "Anomalie Bleue" traces the red thread of this twilight moment, something almost hypnotic that strikes the body just before the heart, and then this gentle and enigmatic color, sublimating the waves of sentimental intoxication, as supple as it is electric. Proof, if one was needed, that l'Impératrice hasn't finished softening hearts. Let the group’s new single entrance you and watch their adventurous live performance of it.
LISTEN: “ANOMALIE BLEUE”
WATCH: “ANOMALIE BLEUE” LIVE
This past summer, the group shared “Voodoo?” HERE (lyrics HERE) , an infectiously groove-heavy track with vocals that bounce and weave around slick instrumentation, punctuated by a tight percussive backbone. “Voodoo?” is accompanied by a live session HERE. Following two years of life on the road, “Voodoo?” follows “Exit” and “Fou” HERE (+ VIDEO HERE), the gro first tracks since 2018’s Matahari.
From the other side of the world, the 2 Australian lads of Lazywax are on the same wavelength and invite us to a warm and intoxicating remix straight out of our greatest nights out so we know how to refresh and quarantine. Listen HERE. “Exit” and its French version “Fou” were the first offerings from L'Impératrice following the two years since Matahari. “Fou” meaning “crazy” in French, it embodies the denouement of a decadent last decade and it promises to be a watchword for the future too. “Exit” / “Fou” is a song that you will have no problems losing yourself to on the dancefloor, with its convulsive rhythms and sonic playfulness - a tune swaying ecstatically in a decompression airlock situated between two glorious eras.
Produced by Renaud Letang (Feist, Philippe Katerine) and mixed by the incomparable Neal Pogue (Outkast, Tyler the Creator, Janelle Monae), "Fou" was mastered by Mike Bozzi (Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino) with a video directed by Edie Blanchard.
These devastatingly funky offerings since 2018’s Matahari album are a tantalising taster of what’s to come...
