Aloïse Sauvage returns with new album
Aloïse Sauvage has released her new album La Foudre on October 23, marking her return to music after a four-year hiatus. The album, which focuses on themes of love, emotional storms, and electric sensuality, was inspired by a recent breakup.Album reflects personal and emotional journey
Sauvage describes the project as "an album of life, a return to self, of what happens after the breakup and what traces love leaves." The album includes twelve tracks, with the first titled "Adieu mon amour."Creative process and label change
Sauvage created the album on her own label, following years at Universal. She explains that this album was different from her previous work, as the lyrics did not come before the melodies. Instead, the music was created first, with the words emerging later.Incorporating dance and evolving musical style
Sauvage, who began breakdancing at age 10 and later trained in contemporary circus at the Fratellini Academy, incorporates dance into her performances. She will return to the stage in early 2027 for a tour. The album includes a shift in her musical style, with more emphasis on singing than rap, as seen in the track "Mayday," which features high notes.Exploring love and identity in music
Sauvage, who is openly queer, discusses the universality of love in her music, stating that her work is not solely about her lesbianism but about love in general. She acknowledges the political significance of normalizing these experiences in a world that remains homophobic and sexist.Influence of film and self-identity
The album includes the track "Tomboy," which Sauvage describes as a signature track. She also references the 2011 film Tomboy by Céline Sciamma, which influenced her understanding of the term. Sauvage prefers to define herself as "a successful girl," expressing confidence in her identity.
