publication · 2026-04-13

Mélodie Orru and Pierre Le Bourgeois, performing as the duo La Source, have unveiled a visual and musical single titled 'J’aime l’eau.' This release serves as a preview for their debut album, scheduled for May 15, 2026. The project explores water as a metaphor for emotions, movement, and life, blending song, contemporary music, and intimate expression. Orru contributes ethereal vocals, while Le Bourgeois, a cellist known for eclectic collaborations, adapts his instrument to mimic bass or guitar. Their artistic approach emphasizes minimalism, with voice and cello interacting without embellishment, incorporating silence and breath to create rare intensity. The upcoming album includes evocative tracks such as 'Je voudrais être un fleuve' and 'Goutte à Goutte,' focusing on themes of transformation and renewal. The duo aims to offer a sensory journey that encourages listeners to slow down and engage differently with sound. The single is available on artsixmic, which also features related content like Boy Calypso's EP 'Je me réveille' and events such as Classiquicime 2026 in Megève.
