Hello, Hivers and Music lovers!
It’s Tuesday in my corner of the world, so time to share some tunes for this #threetunetuesday.
The inspiration for today's post came to me a moment ago, when I was commenting on a post by my friend @tengolotodo, who was talking about a beer called Tropical, and I immediately thought of the song Agitations Tropicales by the French band L'Impératrice, not that the song is about beer, just in case LOL. But I felt like listening to it because of the Tropical haha, so here it is for this #ttt.
I discovered this band a little over a year ago thanks to my son. During one of our calls, he told me that he had gone with a friend to a concert by a French band that he was sure I would like, and he was right.
L' Imperatrice is a Nu-disco band. If you're wondering what that is, here's the definition from Wikipedia
Nu-disco is a 21st-century dance music genre associated with a renewed interest in the late 1970s disco, synthesizer-heavy 1980s European dance music styles, and early 1990s electronic dance music. The genre was popular in the early 2000s, and experienced a mild resurgence in the 2010s.
L' Imperatrice formed as a band in 2012. While researching information for this post, I read that their vocalist, Flore Benguigui, left the group in 2024. This was shortly after I first heard this band. Flore was replaced, but the songs I am sharing today are sung by her. It's a shame because I think she has a wonderful voice.
But before I get into the tunes, let me give you a little background if you are new to Hive and aren't familiar with #threetunetuesday. In the words of @ablaze who initiate it:

And now without further ado, let's go with my tunes for this week.
Tune 1 - L'Impératrice - Agitations Tropicales
The first song is, of course, Agitations Tropicales.
It was the first song of theirs that I heard, and I think it's my favorite of all the ones I've heard so far. The song is from 2015.
Tune 2 - L'Impératrice - Anomalie bleue
Anomalie bleue was released in 2020.
Tune 3 - L'Impératrice - Voodoo?
And Flore sings well in English as in French, as you can hear in this song. Voodoo? was released in 2020
Have you ever listened to L'Impératrice before?
