WHO IS MONSIEUR MÂLÂ
WHO IS MONSIEUR MÂLÂ
ALL MY LIFE
NEW SINGLE / OCTOBER 22
Featuring the incisive vocals of rising hip-hop & soul vocalist Anna Kova, the track positions open communication as the bedrock of self-care. Rock influences sit at the forefront, but with a signature MÂLÂ twist. Anthemic electric mandolin lines interact with syncopated grooves and tasteful, twanged bass, whilst Kova’s vocals add further audio-intrigue.
On the track, the band share: “The character in the song has been internalising their emotions all their life, and come to the conclusion that being open and vulnerable is the only way to overcome them. ”
FLY FLY
NEW SINGLE / OCTO
Following the success of two EPs across 2021-22 that introduced listeners to their
idiosyncratic blend of innovative jazz fusion, Parisian powerhouse quintet Monsieur MÂLÂ
return with ’Fly Fly’. Releasing on Thursday 30th November via Bridge The Gap, the
composition is the first taster of their forthcoming debut album.
Marking an organic evolution in the sound of the band, ‘Fly Fly’ has a celebratory tone, and pays tribute to Brazilian musical legend Gilberto Gil. The MÂLÂ gang reinvent the samba- funk wheel, integrating afrobeat grooves and a fusion of skipping

highlife and folk-esque
melodies, powerfully arranged for a distinctive mix of voice, violin and saxophone. The
product of free-spirited musical research, the track continues the band's ability to shake up
genres and escape stereotypes with sophisticated and authentic writing.
On the track, the band share: “This is the MÂLÂ spirit: A palette of colours combined with the power of 5; surprising instrumentation serving sophisticated compositions, always screaming of simplicity. A musical gesture to say, show and share.”

EP - 002 - MM
After EP - 001 - MM, combining subtlety and colour with the band’s trademark rhythmic drive and irresistible groove power, they are back with a second opus in 2022. Taking on a more melancholic hue than in the first EP, reflecting an overview at a general context of our contemporary history, the music of this new opus carries nonetheless optimism and a message of hope, as the track « Prayer For Hope » implies. We find there as well the enthusiasm of the band and the longing for mixing cultures in « Sahara Spring » or « Instinct », as well as the need for moments of appeasement, serenity and renewal in « 'Til Daylight » and « Endless Journey ».
‘TIL DAYLIGHT
NEW SINGLE / OCTOBER 22
'Til Daylight is this feeling of a strong and fascinating passion, gentle but intense in every moment. Like a dream during a night that we would like to be endless of which the dawning light of day brings us back to reality. This melody reminds us that what is essential is what remains in our memories and our bodies : this indescribable sensation of a timeless moment.
