chrysalisNEW!L’impératrice
As a leading figure in French disco based in Paris, L’Impératrice has long captivated listeners with exquisite sounds rooted in the golden era of the ’70s and ’80s.
In 2024, vocalist Flore Benguigui departed, and the band welcomed Maud Ferron.
This milestone track, created under the new lineup, was released in October 2025.
Its title means “chrysalis,” and the image of awakening—breaking out of the shell to take flight—runs throughout the piece.
The fusion of a theme symbolizing the band’s rebirth and transformation with a characteristically nu-disco, groovy track makes it a fitting opening to a new chapter.

This track, included on Khruangbin’s album “A LA SALA,” released in April 2024, comes from the Houston, Texas trio whose sonic journey spans the globe.
It features a tropical dance groove influenced by Thai funk and highlife.
Over the rhythm woven by bass and drums, a psychedelic guitar floats and shimmers, while whispers in Spanish and other languages add an exotic touch.
There’s also a charming anecdote that bassist Laura Lee drew inspiration from a game she played as a child in Mexico, which may contribute to the warm, nostalgic feel.
Though primarily instrumental, the piece’s comfortable groove invites you to sink in, making it perfect as gentle BGM for an Asian-inspired dinner.
Why not let their uniquely global soundscape accompany your evening meal?

Featured on the album “Keys To The City Volume One,” released in October 2024, the performance captivates with its spontaneity, with over 90% recorded in a single take.

It’s the perfect song for unwinding before sleep or for moments of solitary reflection.
All I Can SayNEW!Kali Uchis
The song by singer Kali Uchis, who has Colombian roots, included on her May 2025 album “Sincerely,” revives the warmth of 1950s R&B and doo-wop with a contemporary sensibility.
As the episode of it being written in the car on the way to the studio suggests, the piece came together naturally and carries a message of “dreaming and making those dreams real.” Its sound—woven from vintage-style choral work and mellow harmonies—is perfect for a leisurely dinner.
