Louis Arlette is back on April 28 with his EP Sacrilèges on which he dresses Baudelaire, Musset, Ronsard, Villon with shimmering pop rock colors. We first discover the sublime A son âme, by Pierre de Ronsard. Ronsard's poetry suddenly finds a surprising rock light thanks to the talent of Louis Arlette. "Words are a weapon to be used wisely. A song can have repercussions on a personal, political, courageous level, serve as propaganda. " explained Louis Arlette in an interview. He offers himself a musical parenthesis in his career with this project already considered a UFO in the world of music: frenzied and iconoclastic covers of our great poets, with electro, rock, synthetic instrumentals, which remind us of David Bowie or New Order. "From the irresistible desire to compose and the spontaneity that social networks sometimes offer was born this concept "sacrilege. It was summed up in this catchphrase: I take a poem that I love. I dishonor him! A first poem. Then two… The pleasure became drunk. Snorkeling. Several months later, spent alone in my studio, in a curious mix of books, Instagram posts, acoustic instruments and synthesizers… " Sacrilege " was born. And I'm not done yet… " he concludes, suggesting a follow-up to this EP Sacrilèges, announced for April 28, 2023 on his label Le bruit Blanc. Louis Arlette - À son âme (Pierre de Ronsard) First extract from Sacrilèges, Louis Arlette adapts A son âme by Pierre de Ronsard. Prince of poets and poet of princes, Ronsard composed his collection Last Verses just before his death in 1585. Never has a poet magnified love so much. To his soul sounds like an epitaph, both light and heartbreaking.

Passer-by, I said, Suy thy fortune Do not disturb my rest, I sleep. " Pierre de Ronsard We can't wait to discover his next titles, with poems by Baudelaire, Musset, François Villon, Gérard de Nerval….
