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.”
