Meimuna

Meimuna describes her music as ‘delicate folk in French’ (check her insta), which is true, but she’s adding beats and fx to that delicacy. ‘Nuits blanches’, the new single, has that trance-like build up (around 2m20s) that makes you wanna throw up both your hands, wailing. Before that moment, it’s Cyrielle Formaz’ voice (for she is Meimuna) that’s taking the spotlight: soothing, comforting. If Cyrille was a Swiss chocolate bar, I’d buy a warehouse of stock. By the way: there’s a big Dutch influence on this track (and others), with Ella van der Woude producing and playing, Nicky Hustinx and Nana Adjoa on drums and bass, and the mixing is also done by hands from the Lowlands. Which is nice.
