L’Impératrice
Pulsar
Microqlima
It took a Coachella performance to make me take notice of L’Impératrice’s beautiful existence. Six Parisians dressed like a band performing at Disney’s Tomorrowland all came out of the gate with some of the most ecstatic and elegant dance songs coming from the French electronic scene.
Great timing because all of this came on the heels of their new release Pulsar. Their third album spins quick adventures through space, flirting with discotheque, kosmiche, electrolounge and R&B all swirling in a cosmos of a new space age. With Pulsar they take these influences and morph them into meticulously punctuated songs fully transcending modern youth like glistening stars in the night sky.
“Amour Ex Machina” can live on the runway as much as it can turn your bedroom into a dance club. Flore Benguigui sings with confidence and provides flattery for your psyche. This is perfect dance pop under neon. “Girl” is a night tide rendezvous under the glare of crystal; the synth effects are intoxicating.
The album features guest vocals from folk/pop singer Maggie Rogers, setting yacht rock tones to the song, and Erick the Architect, who contributes to one of the sexiest songs on the album. Fabione Martone also lends an Olivia Newton-John prowess to a rather Studio 54 vibrancy.
Every song on Pulsar lends to the power of each other and has created a world full of wonder, excitement and entertainment in the highest fashionable sense. Not since Air’s Moon Safari have I been mesmerized by French electronic music.
