St Germain - St Germain (2015)

He’s back. And he’s still the same, only more unpredictable than before.
Twenty years after Boulevard, fifteen years after the multi-platinum
album Tourist (over 3 million copies sold worldwide) and a world tour
spanning several continents, Ludovic Navarre, alias St Germain, finally
found his way back into the studio.

An uncontested and respected figure in the world of electronic music for
the past two decades, a pioneer of the “French Touch” and a creator of
intelligent, sensual and original deep house, St Germain has always
stood out. His consummate art thrives on a subtle mixture of machines
and instruments, of authentic roots and modern influences.

His music is a complex blend, reflecting his love of the blues, jazz and
Black music of all kinds, with hypnotic electronic loops and
harmoniously intertwined vocal samples. Who can forget the renowned
“Alabama Blues” or “Rose Rouge”, the hit single played all around the
world… even during Rolling Stones’ concerts!

This new eponymous album is a colourful and exceptional musical journey.
Recorded with the participation of African musicians, the album features
traditional Malian instruments like the kora, the balafon or the n’goni,
that mingle with electric guitars, pianos, saxophones and electronic
loops, following a secret formula only St Germain could concoct.

The first single, “Real Blues” a perfect summer track, sets the
legendary voice of Lightnin’ Hopkins to the beat of wild, fiery drums
and percussion. The original single sleeve is decorated with a 3D mask
conceived by Urban Art creator Gregos, known for his smiling and
frowning faces stuck on walls throughout Paris and Europe.

St Germain is back and this is only the beginning… 

Ik waardeer het als je ff laat weten dat je hem meeneemt.
