Astrobal, the solo project of Emmanuel Mario, has announced the release of his third album, following 2019’s L’infini, l’Univers et les Mondes. Entitled L’uomo e la natura, which means Man and Nature, the album arrives on February 7th through Karaoke Kalk. The French drummer, composer and producer decided to take a different approach, and the upcoming record marks a new chapter in his creative journey. “I wanted to make music that was both pop and ambitious in its chord progressions as well as surprising in its construction,« explained Astrobal. Paying homage to library music, Astrobal turned to artists such as Alessandro Alessandroni or Bruno Nicolai, and the more cosmic strains of electronic instrumental music for inspiration “to create a soundtrack that would immediately bring to mind outer space”.
Astrobal is previewing the album with the lead single ‘L’abeille poupre’, a track radiating nothing but positive energy. The single comes with an accompanying video made by Raz Ullah and you can watch it below.
