Sur la Terre

A sun-drenched fusion of soulful house, jazz, and Afro-beat. Warm, organic, and deeply human dance music that feels like a Mediterranean afternoon.

It's the house album that sounds like a vintage soul party on a French terrace.

A sophisticated and soulful celebration of rhythm that feels both grounded in the earth and light as air.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive gospel-infused vocal hook on I'm a Good Man that turns a house track into a revival meeting.

The delicate, poetic French narration by Chloé Solveig during the title track that grounds the dance rhythms in human fragility.

The deep, polyrhythmic percussion breakdown in Heart of Africa that pays homage to Solveig's early Afro-house influences.
