"Masculin Féminin", the latest installment from Alivenique's 'Year of the Statement', is out today. Of the track, Ali notes:
"This is a reflection, a memoir, a look back on the impact that Chantal Goya, Godard, Pennebaker, Dylan, New York, Warhol and Pop Art had on me and my generation, personally writing my own story and also my own artistic narrative. So I play with Godard’s description of the youth generation in Masculin Féminin, “Les Enfants de Marx and Coca-Cola” and extending the metaphor to my generation dubbing the continuation as “Les Enfants de Pop and Andy Warhol”. Musically it features a fun mashup of vintage french pop, urban-indie post-dylan vocals, cinematic golden era background vocals, with the percussive perspective of the record worked in, climaxing into a soloist orchestral performance with soaring strings. It features vocals in French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. It's the perfect surreal pop collage."
