Even when downcast, Love & Devotion is a sensual, lively record and anyone mourning the death of Air France should find much to enjoy here.
The past is somehow devoured, processed and regurgitated to form a completely refreshing and new substance; this is heavenly stuff that marks a departure from the modern sound.
As an independently made pop album, the debut of a new project and, essentially, an experiment, Love and Devotion may have weaker moments, but is very well accomplished overall
Subtly detailed, Love & Devotion is the kind of record where you’re bound to notice some new little touch every time you listen. And for such a no-frills pop record, that’s an accomplishment in itself.
Lara Rix-Martin and Michael Paradinas wanted desperately to dance but they couldn't find the right place, so they decided to make their own music and transform their house into a club for that night...and it worked!
