RIVE

Following their debut album “Narcose” (2019), which saw RIVE make a name for themselves at prestigious festivals in Belgium and perform in France, Switzerland, Quebec, Brazil and China, the Brussels-based duo, made up of singer Juliette Bossé and producer Kévin Brieuc, are releasing their second opus “Collision”.

Always in French, the lyrics of the eleven tracks explore and expose the contradictions of each individual, in relation to contemporary issues. Redrawing the contours of the love relationship, reaffirming and rethinking one’s freedom, allowing oneself to “dream big” as a woman, setting out and conquering new territories – these are just some of the themes addressed. The production, in the tradition of “Narcose”, retains its originality, giving pride of place to orchestration to better contrast with Juliette’s soft, sensitive voice. This second album, mixed by Lionel Capouillez (Stromae), is accessible, dynamic and elegant, as evidenced by the choice of guest featuring artists: pianist Sofiane Pamart and Swiss singer Sandor.
