Melanie De Biasio, the Belgian artist, behind 4 magnificent albums (A Stomach Is Burning, No Deal, Blackened Cities, Lilies) and an album of remixes by Gilles Peterson, is making a comeback with the release of her new album, 'Il Viaggio'.
A hushed and sensual voice, a soothing melody, a soft setting, a total sensory experience: everything that makes Melanie De Biasio a unique artist is in the two new titles unveiled: Now Is Narrow & We Never Kneel To Pray. Two sides of the same coin, two variations around the same theme - one electronic, the other acoustic - to experience the rich sonic palette, which presents itself as a sonic journey. Like an invitation to travel between Italy and her native Belgium, these two pieces evoke the return: that of Melanie De Biasio, whom we had left after her sublime album Lilies but also the return to the source & to wonder.
‘Il Viaggio’ is an offering, a quest for musical, physical, and spiritual renewal, born from an emotional memory awakened. Joining the concrete and ambient, it drifts from the natural sounds of a new day towards a dreamed world.
