HER | June 2016

Emerging French band Her first made an appearance with their hypnotic debut track «Quite Like», which reached international critical acclaim after they put it up on Soundcloud.

Their debut EP «Tape #1», released in early 2016, didn’t fall short of the expectations – with the standout track «Five Minutes» offering another tale of sophisticated seduction. Citing the combination of Frank Ocean, Shuggie Otis, Child of Lov and Aaron Neville as a musical reference, Her have succinctly delivered their unique take on modern charm, romance and the female race.

Lead singers of Her, Victor and Simon, envisage to represent all the women who inspired them, but also the incarnation of a duality: «We’re trying to achieve 1+1=3, that third person being Her». Victor was born in Germany and spent a childhood saturated with Kraftwerk and Can, whilst Simon passed his high school years in exile in the United States where he incorporated the musical roots of black culture. These various influences shape their songs, immersed into the tormented current world affairs in which they find their sources for lyrics.

At Music Apartment, Her will present a selection of songs from their debut tape as well as new live tracks.
