Impossible to resist the pop chic with cosmic disco accents of L'Impératrice.
To understand the reasons for this success, Hortense Volle invited herself to the studio that Her Majesty had set up in an old restored factory.

Publicity
How proud it looks the path traced in nearly ten years by The Empress!
It all started in 2012 when Charles, a former music journalist, founded an instrumental disco quintet, dancing groovy, Parisian and uniquely male.
Three years and two EPs later, The Empress finds her voice, irresistible and aerial, that of Flore.
From then on, the sextet has continued to gain momentum and make France groove.
It is indeed difficult to resist its chic pop, with cosmic disco accents under cinematographic influences.
In 2018, it is the coronation of the Empress.
His album
Matahari is a
hit and makes the group one of the ambassadors of the new French-speaking electro pop in the world.
Today, the second opus of these six thirty-
something
musicians,
Tako Tsubo
, is also likely to upset everything in its path.
To get to the bottom of it, SessionLab invited itself to the studio that the group set up last fall in an old rehabilitated factory, La Sira.
In Asnières-sur-Seine, very close to Paris, meeting with Charles (keyboards), Flore (vocals, texts) and David (bass).
