French sextet L’Impératrice has teamed up with Cuco to bring their nu-disco and psychedelic styles together on “Heartquake.” Having met backstage at Coachella in 2022, they have united to seamlessly blend their distinct yet interlocking styles.
L’Impératrice elaborates on “Heartquake,” saying, “It’s the story of someone completely disconnected from their emotions who is on their usual peaceful bus ride one morning. And then, someone sits across from them, and suddenly, their brain freezes, and they fall to their knees, struck by a thunderbolt, a kind of Tako tsubo. It's a sensation that shakes them to the core, and they’re not sure if they can survive it, but they desire it.”
