We are excited to introduce Paris based pop-soul artist, Irma! Already a highly accomplished soul-pop producer, singer-songwriter and online sensation in France, we grab her for a quick one on one chat!
1. Describe your sound to us in three words only
Me, myself & I 🙂
2. Tell us about the concept behind the song “Venom Of Angels” – How did the track come together?
A friend of mine sent me a text she wrote about female desire. I immediately heard the music for her words. I heard something deeply soulful and sensual. As the lyrics were about sex and desire, I imagined a song that would emulate the ascension of desire until a climax symbolizing an orgasm. So I built up the song around this idea, starting very softly with the vocals and my guitar, and then making the vocals more and more intense and loud until they reach a climax , and then calm down.
3. Everyone has their one favorite genre of music- what’s yours and why?
Soul music. Definitely. It has everything. It literally makes me feel my blood flowing through my veins, filling my heart .
4. How would you describe your UK Fanbase?
For now, basically you guys 🙂
5. Who would we find on your Spotify-Who are you currently listening to?
Fink, Jeff Buckley, Burna Boy, James Blake
6. Who do you take inspiration from when making music?
People around me and artists that inspire me
7. Could you give three words to describe your Style?
Folk African Soul
8. You’ve played globally-where’s been your favourite place to play/perform so far and why?
If I had to chose I’d say Vietnam. Because growing up in Cameroon made it feel like a Whole other world to me . So I just felt overwhelmed and immensely blessed hearing people sing along to my music over there.
9. If you could collaborate with any artist out there (dead or alive) who would it be?
Notorious BIG and James Blake
