{"product_id":"l-imperatrice-pulsar-3700551785667","title":"L'IMPERATRICE - PULSAR - RECORD","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith two successful albums and a sold-out world tour under their belt, Paris-based L'Imperatrice have matriculated from a good-times instrumental act created by music critic Charles de Boisseguin to a six-piece powerhouse whose sashaying mixes of funk and French Touch, disco and deep house now include the fetching vocals of singer Flore Benguigui. Their new album Pulsar, is a focused but far-reaching record, the jubilant testament of a band with plenty to say and the skills to say it themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcross 10 tracks, L'Imperatrice move freely and authoritatively among the sounds they love, bridging hip-hop, kosmische, and modern pop with their most unabashed embraces of French Touch and international house ever. Benguigui, meanwhile, boldly sings of self-empowerment by shirking beauty standards, ageism, and drab normalcy, with a little help from an exciting set of new friends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA longtime fan who had seen the band multiple times, Maggie Rogers flew to Paris to lead the svelte and graceful \"Any Way,\" approaching the song with an unabashed vim. They had a similar encounter with Erick the Architect, who was so enthusiastic about the sample- based and panoramic \"Sweet \u0026amp; Sublime\" that Benguigui scrapped one of her own verses to make more room for him. And Italian singer Fabiana Martone (Nu Genea) crafted the melody for \"Danza Marilu\" the moment she heard it's disco thump.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout these 10 songs, L'Imperatrice espouses the rare willingness to be real about life and it's woes while also sounding like a perfect picture of joy. Pulsar opens like a window being slid open onto an unimagined world. During the title-track finale, where a casual confession of suffering climbs into a mighty climax rooted in redemption, the band intertwines dubstep, turntablism, and symphonic strings to offer a bracing conclusion: however we are is OK.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1 Cosmogonie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2 Amour Ex Machina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e3 Me Da Igual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e4 Love from the Other Side\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e5 Danza Marilu - Feat Fabiana Martone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e6 Any Way - Feat Maggie Rogers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e7 Deja-Vue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e8 Girl!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e9 Sweet \u0026amp; Sublime - Feat Erick the Architect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e10 Pulsar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microqlima\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53466143654227,"sku":"MCQM40.1","price":4.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/pulsar-696214.jpg?v=1776060233","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/l-imperatrice-pulsar-3700551785667","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
