Voodoo Cello

Description

For ten years, Imany's deep voice has captivated the French public with compositions inspired by Soul, Folk, and Blues. Following the success of her first two albums (Double Platinum) and (Platinum), the soundtrack for the film Sous Les Jupes des filles, and the two singles Don't Be So Shy (Diamond) and You Will Never Know (Gold), Imany continues to achieve success worldwide.

Eight cellos offer a multitude of possibilities between low and high: "Sometimes, it feels like they can be brass or electric guitars... As if they were haunted." The choice of songs comes quickly, between classics that have always resonated with her and more recent favorites: "The principle of a good cover is that the song becomes yours. I take hold of the song in voice-guitar, I find the key that suits me, I look to modify the tempo..." Even if it means making a light song deeper, or bringing light to some melancholic tracks, thanks to a sound that has been carefully shaped yet is immediately spontaneous, raw without being abrupt, crystalline without being smooth. We smile, moved or surprised, we find ourselves grooving or letting ourselves dream...
