French electronic music has found its new ace in female musician DeLaurentis. With her growing repertoire of enthralling tracks, she has set her sights on The Big Apple, dominating the airwaves at Central Park’s Bastille Day celebration on the legendary SummerStage festival. Following her debut concept album, “Unica,” the rising star has been pulling out all the stops and captivating audiences with her distinct electro-cinematic style that traverses between themes of light and darkness.
Drowning in existentialism and oozing with high-concept ideas, DeLaurentis has forged her music with machine-like precision and human fragility. The rising star owes her moniker to the famous movie producer Dino DeLaurentis who is famously known for productions such as “La Strada,” “Blue Velvet,” and “Barbarella.” This should give her audience a clear distinction of her niche in electronic music.
DeLaurentis is an expert at seamlessly blending cinematic finesse and sleek musical production, giving rightful justice to her namesake. Her French touch has given rise to many introspections on the nature of human life, our co-existence with the digital realm, and the power of machinery that pervades our day-to-day lives.
Her debut concept album, “Unica,” is filled to the brim with ten haunting tracks that pave the way for her alter ego of the same name. Throughout the album, it is made clear that Unica is DeLaurentis’ Artificial Intelligence alter ego, her robot sister facing her own existential crisis at the crossroads of Laurie Anderson, Daft Punk, and one of the pioneers of electronic music, Jean-Michel Jarre. Consequently, Jarre’s frequent collaborator Joachim Garraud is DeLaurentis’ new ally.
Currently, DeLaurentis has come face to face with a brand new door of opportunity, representing France during Bastille Day in New York City. “It is an honor to represent France on the legendary SummerStage stage! I can’t wait to present live the titles of my new album UNICA as well as my adaptations of French musical heritage ranging from Edith Piaf to Maurice Ravel via Serge Gainsbourg, Christophe and Etienne Daho,” shared the rising star. She owes much of her gratitude to Joachim Garraud and the consulate for entrusting her with such a monumental task.
DeLaurentis is no stranger to the United States, as her music has been featured in many national broadcast commercials and American television shows such as “How To Get Away with Murder,” where her song “A Big Part of A Big Sun” was prominently used. She has also performed at various festivals across Los Angeles in early 2022. In addition, DeLaurentis has also done live performances on her home soil, playing her music in front of a large crowd at the Issey Miyake 2020 fashion show in Paris.
In collaboration with the French Consulate of New York, Joachim Garraud has curated a festival in Central Park on Bastille Day. After a strong showing at several of her live performances, DeLaurentis was personally invited by the electronic music icon Joachim Garraud himself to the SummerStage Festival in New York, which will be held on July 14, 2022.
However, their collaboration doesn’t end there. After meeting last February in Los Angeles, DeLaurentis and Joachim Garraud began writing and producing together in LAgoodvibe, Joachim’s solar mobile studio, a solar-powered recording studio converted from a classic RV. Their journey around the desert gave rise to a new collaborative effort entitled “Avoriaz,” which is expected to debut on September 3 at Joachim’s Electric Park Festival near Paris.
DeLaurentis’ debut appearance in New York can’t come soon enough. But, while the wait might be agonizing, fans can check out her latest releases to tide them over. Her innovative 3D music video, Extra Life, is now available on YouTube. Fans can also check out her remix EP “Unica’s Cloud.”
