Melody’s Echo Chamber Has Shared Her New Single ‘Alma’

‘Alma,’ the third and final song from Melody’s Echo Chamber’s upcoming album ‘Emotional Eternal,’ is a tribute to motherhood. The track was released on 7th April. The French musician whose actual name is Melody Prochet – described the song as “more of a poem to life”.

‘Alma’ was composed after Prochet had to leave her newborn child for a night a year after giving birth, and it was the first song she wrote following her 2018 album ‘Bon Voyage.’

“I think I recorded the emotion of that kind of spiritual experience of the essential yet heart-breaking separation from the pure love bubble to the world of others,” she said in a statement.

Below is the stunning, animated music video for “Alma.”

‘Alma’ comes after ‘Personal Message’ and ‘Looking Backward,’ all of which were released earlier this year. All three singles will be featured on Prochet’s third studio album, ‘Emotional Eternal,’ which will be released on 29th April through Domino. After a six-year break, Prochet’s previous album, ‘Bon Voyage,’ was released in June 2018. Following a car accident in 2017, which resulted in a brain aneurysm and shattered vertebrae, the singer was forced to postpone the album’s release by a year.

‘Bon Voyage’ received a three-star review from NME, with writer Jamie Milton describing the record as a “wild, space-age trip that could use a ticket back to Earth” and “the record Prochet has long desired to make”.

Her self-titled debut album, produced by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, was released in 2012.
