Calypso Valois / Apocalypso - Apocalypso Music CD

After starting out as a duo (with the group Cinema) and then a critically acclaimed debut solo album, Cannibale (2018), Calypso Valois has toured the length and breadth of France, worked on a variety of creative projects, notably in film, and behind the decks, where she has officiated as a DJ for several years. She had just plunged into what was to become her second album when the pandemic interrupted her. Baroque melodies, hemmed-in lyrics, elegant production. The production was handled by Yan Wagner, who had already worked on Cannibale. For the mix, Calypso called on Yuksek very early on, convinced that he was THE person to mix this record. The intuition was right: he brings out the full breadth of APOCALYPSO's 10 tracks. "Frontal", as envisaged by Calypso, who takes it upon herself to place her voice at the heart of her ultra-complete compositions, and of a writing style that she embodies more than ever. Uncompromising and deeply exciting, the magnetic pop of Calypso Valois is as memorable as it is trend-averse.
