Republic's first release in more than a year, is an extra-strong one that will grab lots of attention this fall from fans of the deep. DJ-producer-vocalist Lady Cherelle, a member of New York's SOUP collective and a 20-year veteran of both the East and West Coast underground scenes, makes her Republic debut with a scintillating three-track burst of melody, soul and true-school energy.
The Affaire de Couer EP's trio of tracks are complex tech-deep constructions with wicked basslines, haunting keyboards and strings, and evocative melodies, each one topped by Cherelle's own sultry vocals. Fans of Maya Jane Coles, Virginia or Nina Kraviz will be captivated by Cherelle's fresh contribution to this style; but fans of '90s house will also recognise the likes of Dubtribe and Everything but the Girl in its influences.
