New Artist: sayCet
I can’t stop listening to this song.
“Opal” by sayCet is just beautiful. The original is wonderful, but dare I say, I like the remix by Error Love – Opalovsky – even more. The original is dreamy electronic pop at its best, but the remix really gets me with the looping of the gorgeous vocals of Phoene Somsavath.
sayCet is the project of Pierre Lefeuvre, a french music composer. It should also be noted that alongside his original work are some amazing remixes which include: Radiohead’s “Nude,” Air’s “Sing Sang Sung,” Bloc Party’s “Signs,” and Phoenix’s “1901.” The remixes are intricate and beautiful extensions of the originals, and his background speaks to this immensely.
Beyond the electronic beats and compositions Pierre creates for sayCet hails vocalist Phoene Somsavath. Her voice is beautifully haunting and a perfect compliment to the experimental “ambient Chinese pop” – as deemed by the band.
Although sayCet is pretty new (just over 1 year collaboration), they are already set to release their second album next month. Titled Through the Window, look out for this on March 22nd…should be amazing.
as usual steph, you are right on with the new music recommendation… <3
