It’s been a long eight years since the last studio album was released by French electronic composer, Jean-Michel Jarre. That album was Téo & Téa, issued in 2007. But that wait is nearly over.
As with many upcoming albums, artists release a fore-running single. The next thing you will hear from Jean-Michel Jarre is a collaboration single with French artist, M83. The new song, “Glory”, is on the calendar for digital release on May 18. It heralds the new album, which hasn’t a title yet nor a set date of release although it is promised for “later this year” via Columbia Records.
The single can currently be heard encapsulated within a filmed time-capsule called EMIC. The film is a 12+minute across the board review of “…7 billion walking molecules leftover from stardust…”. If the enticement of hearing a preview of new music from Jean-Michel Jarre isn’t enough, then perhaps the splash of humanity on Earth might do the trick. You can view (and hear) EMIC (and “Glory”) for free at this link.
Thanks to Kanta Devi for the information.
Very good. Curated by Christopher Nolan, I wonder if it’s an offshoot of “Interstellar”.
