Martin Solveig

High-gloss French house featuring ALMA's soulful vocals and triumphant brass synths. A three-minute burst of pure, neon-soaked summer optimism.

All Stars is a masterclass in the Solveig sound, a specific brand of French house that traded the grit of the Ed Banger era for a high-definition, neon-lit optimism. It sounds like a summer afternoon transitioning into a high-stakes night. The track is anchored by ALMA’s unique vocal texture: a blend of Finnish cool and soul-baring grit, which prevents the song from becoming too sugary. It is a record that feels expensive, polished to a mirror finish, yet retains a human heart through its inclusive, anthemic lyrics.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the stripped-back verse to the explosive, brass-heavy chorus where the synth horns take over
ALMA's vocal rasp during the 'we are all stars' hook that adds a layer of grit to the polish
The syncopated drum fill that bridges the second chorus and the bridge, momentarily breaking the four-on-the-floor pulse
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
