With their latest single "Danza Marilù," L'Impératrice delivers an electrifying homage to Italo-disco, seamlessly fused with their signature sound, and featuring the captivating vocals of Italian vocalist Fabiana Martone. This collaboration serves as a vibrant anthem for women of all ages, encouraging them to freely move on the dancefloor despite any lingering looks or judgments—a spirited rebuttal to societal norms.

Inspired by and in response to Serge Gainsbourg's "L'Homme à tête de chou," "Danza Marilù" captures the essence of retro disco while infusing it with a modern twist. The track pulsates with infectious energy from start to finish, inviting listeners to surrender to its irresistible groove and lose themselves in the rhythm.

As the latest single from their forthcoming album, "Pulsar," "Danza Marilù" offers a tantalizing glimpse into what awaits listeners on the full record. Influenced by the band's global travels and experiences touring in support of their previous album, "Tako Tsubo," "Pulsar" promises to be a focused yet far-reaching exploration of sound and style.

"Pulsar" is a testament to L'Impératrice's growth and evolution as a band, with every decision on the album being made by the group themselves. The self-produced record exudes the energy and wisdom gained from their experiences on the road, capturing the essence of their live performances while showcasing their distinctive sound.

Lead vocalist Flore Benguigui's bold and empowering lyrics resonate throughout "Danza Marilù" and the upcoming album, addressing themes of self-empowerment, beauty standards, ageism, and the rejection of societal norms. These incandescent anthems celebrate individuality and authenticity, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves.

With its infectious rhythm, spirited vocals, and empowering message, the single sets the stage for an exhilarating musical journey on the forthcoming album "Pulsar." We’re so excited for the full record of course, but in the meantime, do yourselves a huge favor and get listening to this energetic single as soon as you can!
