Renowned Swiss artist Pablo Nouvelle drops ‘Lovesongs & Sextapes’ another new track from his upcoming album ‘Vulnerability,’ out now via Amsterdam’s Armada Electronic Elements.
Lovesongs & Sextapes is one of the highlights from the record. It’s a radio-ready anthem for the new generation inspired by a friend who said she was sick of all the drama, sick of lovesongs and sextapes. “What she really was yearning for was a relationship where you could rely on each other” says Pablo. “I thought the Lovesongs & Sextapes quote was so genius that we run to the studio that same night and recorded the vocals for the track.”
You’ll find the track on Pablo’s upcoming eight studio album – ‘Vulnerability’ an impressive collection of modern electronica, that is in tune with the spirit of the times but which still has a timeless quality. Pablo Nouvelle: “Vulnerability is a dance music album which, by my standards, is hard-hitting, but without losing the sensual and emotional side. No matter how upbeat and danceable the beats are, I want to touch people’s hearts with my music and remain true to the Cry on the Dancefloor genre.”
Since the start of 2022, Pablo has been releasing new music at an impressive rate – with a new song every six weeks, all of which are included on the album along with a further five unheard tracks. ‘Vulnerability’ is also an album made to be played live. Pablo has big plans for taking this album on the road, bringing back his live band for the first time in over three years, Pablo will be hitting the stage alongside Matthias Nydegger & Roland Wäspe to play the new album in full. “Performing the album live is to position it more clearly as a dance project,” says Pablo on the yet to be announced shows. “Unlike in the past there is no front woman anymore, but the vocal samples will be triggered on video screens by me via Midi and Timon Christen, the visual operator. This allows the visuals and the band performance to merge into one unified whole, along with some epic lighting effects to give it that club-like feel.” Stay tuned for live show announcements, coming soon.
Pablo Nouvelle first gained international attention in 2012 with his self-released, eponymous album, described as “essential” by Mixmag and followed by the EP ‘You Don’t Understand’ on U.K. tastemaker label Black Butter. The artist subsequently made a name for himself with his numerous releases and remixes for the likes of Aurora, Gorgon City, Marina, Andreya Triana and collaborated on a AfroBeat EP that featured Angelique Kidjo. In 2021 he united with British instrumentalist and singer Kinnshipfor their acclaimed joint album – Stones and Geysers.
When not playing live shows with full band you might catch him as a DJ or classical pianist when orchestrating his neo classical album “Piano Pieces” with a string quartet and grand piano. And when Nouvelle isn’t pursuing music, he is an acclaimed animation filmmaker with 3 award-winning short films to his name. ‘In A Nutshell’, his last, was longlisted for an Oscar.
