Melancolía

Laurence-Anne gifts us Melancolía, a new song in Spanish that expresses a nostalgic melancholy, the end of something that was beautiful and will remain so despite its demise. She compares this powerful feeling to dawn and dusk, the cycles of luminosity that drive our lives. Light inevitably affects our mood. Our emotions are tinted in different ways, like the colours in the sky. I've always found a beautiful glow emanating from melancholy, she explains. Things change, disappear and are reborn like light every day.

Melancolía was composed, arranged and co-produced by Laurence-Anne, with co-producer François Zaïdan. True to her love of unconventional textures, the singer-songwriter was happy to incorporate two of her favourite instruments into the song: the recorder and the steel drum.
