Manu Louis

Anyone familiar with Manu Louis’s music knows that he’s got no great loyalty to genre. On his debut single »Tchouang Tseu« in 2015, the Belgian-born Manu Louis combined brittle electroclash with funk and chanson, leading up to »Kermess Machine,« an even more divergent album: an electro-acoustic ballad here, some longing bar jazz there, and in between, a few synth-pop gems. Luckily, the singer-songwriter hasn’t lost his stylistic volatility over the years, in fact having only further differentiated his approach over a series of EPs and the 2019 sophomore album »Cream Parade.« Manu Louis is a relentless remixer of references, a prismatic peacock among pigeons, with music emotionally rich and liberated from all inhibitions..
