  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The design of the album Homam is the result of a collaboration between the talented photographer Juliette Jacobs and the designer and typographer Mickaël Hoebregs. More than the style itself or the esthetic, this cover is an artistic concept, close to the work of Neville Brody who was the mentor of Mickaël Hoebregs for his thesis "Recherche & développements d'Architypes contemporains". The ballet of curves, lights, letters, will delicately take your hand to enter Lucie Dehli's musical world.

about

Nyu is for me the most moving track of Homam. Let me tell you the magical story of this music, I should say, of this alchemical episode ! For me, nothing is more important in art than the quality of the relationship between people making it. Hearts connected, energies flowing, souls flying in the same wonderful world, over clouds, even though sometimes life takes us into the abyss, this is the hardest paradox to deal with… Nyu is the story of 4 souls connected, in the creative and recording process itself.
I asked my dearest music mates, Jo Quail, Jake Harding, Lee Lebens, to make this journey with me. I sent them a loop, with the tempo and key of the track already called Nyu, the fifth element. First, I asked them to choose an element for themselves. Jo chose Earth, Jake Water, Lee Fire and Air was left for me. The first crazy thing is that none of us chose the same element and I am definitely Air ;-) (As a Gemini ;-))
I sent the loop to each of them and my wishes were : Please, do not think about notes, only make your Element alive with music, be connected to yourself and to the others at the same time, first take is the good take ! So Jo, Jake and Lee created and recorded a track without knowing what the others were doing. They sent their creations to me and it was outstanding ! Magic was here ! I only had to play a little with the volumes and adjust one track 2 beats later. Everything was here, strongly in harmony. Jo played layers of the earth, she is our ground, our soil, Jake sang the abyss and oh my god, his voice is so deep. His lyrics are abstract, and they are transcribed into the International Phonetic Alphabet for you. Read them, and they will morph into different meanings for each of us in different moments… The guitar of Lee is sometimes like a will-o’-the-wisp and sometimes like the peaceful flame of a candle. And my voice is like a little bubble in the depth of water, following Jake’s vocals.
Nyu is a kind of miracle, a miracle we can all make, because each of us carries all the elements to do it. Love, creativity, letting go, trust, and the lovely child living inside of us…
