Album Review: Say Lou Lou Find An “Immortelle” Identity
I love melodramas because, in an odd way, they are emotionally honest. In perspective, a situation is minute, but, in emotion, especially if present, it is seismic. Thus, every human being can have a penchant or attraction to a melodrama because, even if it does not capture a possible situation, it certainly grasps what it is to feel a giant sentiment. Say Lou Lou’s Immortelle is a melodrama.
Immortelle is a moody and sensual presentation, which was heavily inspired by film noir and old James Bond scores, but if you hear it, you will think it was an alternative soundtrack to Suspiria. There is a mystical, powerful feminine energy that courses through songs such as, “Golden Child,” “Limbo,” and “Phantoms” as if every rhythm was captured from a ritualistic dance. The crazy thin is that Say Lou Lou claims this is their most personal album; feverishly creating it in the woody hills of LA.

Cocooning themselves in their home, the Swedish duo captured the endless cycle of songwriting, brainstorming, cooking, eating, drinking, talking, arguing, drinking, smoking, recording, dreaming, and loving that goes into a year. While times can feel as slow as a drip, it goes as fast as a waterfall, and, in their motivation to define their music identity, time became their friend. Moreover, it became their guardian as the sisters used Immortelle to define themselves as artists that are women, and are no longer willing to be told how to presents themselves as both. Hence, my Suspiria vibe was not that off. For some reason, mentally, when women get their power, we hear and see witchy, dark images because, though female energy is terrorized, when it tries to own itself, unfortunately, some people see it as terrifying.

From “All Love To Me” to “Immortelle,” Say Lou Lou reach for eternity by reaching for their own identity. Every key and chord unlocks a magical door within them and in your imagination to help you realize that owning who you are, even in oppression, is the key to your liberation. Hence, lyrically and instrumentally, Immortelle is like a coven melodrama. You feel power hitting pianos and pitches as the sisters hypnotically harmonize; casting a spell against anyone that tries to have a say over their voice.
