New release : "Thrill" ! Please listen and share !
After she played in different forms that let her explore each and every corner of the musical planet she occupied, Juliette Richards found the space where to land her voice on and founded her first personal project under the name of White Velvet.
Inspired by Bjork's mad and powerful timbre as well as Andy Shauf's warm and intimate clarinets, White Velvet offers a jazz pop with her voice weaved with soft saxophone sounds on a velvet platter. Like a remedy for dreariness, a potion that would free us from our wounds and worries. Whether alone or with musicians, White Velvet can take many forms live and in the studio.
After a first release in 2019 called « Adulthood », White Velvet released at the end of 2021 “Encore à contre courant”, with covers like « Tout simplement (Tout doucement) » articulated around her compositions « Encore un peu » et « Contre courant ». These tracks are an ode to love, and this time, in French, please. From 2022, tracks will be released one after the other, in a more free way and without the pressure of a calendar. « Les Ecluses » was released under the sun of June 2022, and « Thrill » will announce the return of the sunbeam, in the last thrill of March 2023.
Now she will be on tour in 2023 with William Karadjian, pianist and co-producer of « Encore à contre courant » and « Les Ecluses ».
