Roxane Arnal Elior Featuring Baptiste Bailly

Featuring elements of blues, folk rock, and jazz, the original compositions of Roxane Arnal and Baptiste Bailly"s album are a culmination of talents. Flowing through ethereal piano accompanied singing and more rugged blues to finish, each title is both perfection and a surprise. The musical collaboration between Roxane Arnal and Baptiste Bailly was born in 2018 in the Spanish region of Valencia. It"s not false to say that this album resembles a potluck party where everyone brings their specialty: Roxane arrives with the blues and folk that she has been singing for 10 years already and her uniquely vibrato voice. Baptiste with his dazzling piano skills and the inspired counter-melody that he draws from contemporary jazz and Mediterranean music. The musicians then bring their touches of color which always fall perfectly: acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars, basses, Dobro, slide guitar, Moog and choirs. Finally, Duncan Roberts brings his British expertise as a sound engineer, so much so that Elior already sounds like the latest album of a mature artist. The universes of Roxane and Baptiste collide more often than they mix, to the point of surprising the listener with each title. In the end, the harmony is perfect and this album remains sensitive and luminous from start to finish.
