Wendy Martinez - La chevauchée électrique (2021) Hi-Res

Debut solo mini-album from Gloria's vocalist. Wendy Martinez is a Lyon-based songstress, who's electric pop songs transport us to a hypnotic realm, lulled by the melodious flow of her intimate, surreal French lyrics. Inspired by rock and pop from the 70's and 80's and French greats such as Gainsbourg, Fontaine, Ferré, Bashung and Vassiliu, Wendy writes and sings about cosmic love, women blossoming at old ages and the worship of the screens. Her Gloria compadré Kid Victrola also features on this recording. For the release of her first disc, Wendy has painted her own artworks, and made her home clips, including La Chevauchée Electrique which was created, shot and edited in quarantaine. The Electric Ride is a psychédélique trip in a living room, an erotic declaration of love in kaléidoscopique vision. On stage, the velvet-voiced singer is often backed by three musicians who grace her vivacious texts with vintage organs and keyboards, languorous bass-lines, trance-like drums and celestial backing vocals.
