LISZA
Lisza’s first album is called ‘La vie sauvage’, a title reflecting a rebellious, almost improbable itinerary. Lover of words, passionate about literature, the artist has turned away from the pages to write her own story in a few finely chiseled verses. Like a drive that inevitably leads to music. A universe that she first approaches instinctively. Because Lisza is like that: she takes things as they come, in the moment.

In spring 2014, his path crossed that of Belgian singer Vincent Liben. Seduced by his songs, the latter imagines tailor-made arrangements. New landscapes are then offered to the compositions. Because if all the tunes are humming in the language of Françoise Hardy, Lisza does not hide her desires elsewhere. Swept by incessant waves to the soul, the melodies stretch here under a setting sun: an end of the day to remember the ritornelles of Cesaria Evora, Selda, Lhasa or Astrud Gilberto.

The couple found a nice balance there, Liszasigning texts and melodies, Vincent imagining the orchestrations to make them take on their full dimension. Sounded at home, refined by Rudy Coclet (Arno, Girls In Hawaii) and Lionel Capouillez (Stromae), Lisza’s first album stems from a permanent dialogue between song and instruments. ‘La vie sauvage’ is a burst of freedom, a scent from before, a record of today. Aware of the times, but preserved from the violence of the modern world, the album encloses eleven tracks of eternal grace. In her songs, Lisza runs after innocence, the naivety of childhood, a certain recklessness. His music gives meaning to utopias, from the body to nostalgia. Better than a daydream: a new reality.
