Yoann Casanova Releases New Album 'ELECTRA' Alongside Debut Book

We have been fans of musician Yoann Casanova for some time, so we are delighted to share news of his new studio album ELECTRA, a project in which the Corsican star crosses two different mediums. ELECTRA is currently available exclusively through Yoann’s debut book, Electra: Journal d’un artiste (devenu) indépendant (Diary of an (Now) Independent Artist).

The synopsis for Yoann’s book explores: “I’ve often been asked what I took away from my television appearances. What it was like to be in the spotlight. What it was like to be signed to a record label. What I learned, what I lost, and, above all, what I chose to keep. This book-album is an answer. A personal diary. The record of an unusual journey, strewn with doubt, passion, audacity… and electricity. I recount what goes on behind the scenes: the encounters, the wounds, the resurrections. I talk about what the music industry doesn’t show, this absurd obsession with numbers, our dependence on algorithms, and everything we sacrifice to try to be heard.”

He continues: “I also share some keys: how to create without betraying yourself, how to exist differently, how to preserve your identity. And above all, I’ve included all my new songs, their lyrics, and my reflections. Going against the grain of categories, formats, and conventions, I chose instinct over norms, soul over approval. This is a new way to present my music to you, so you can take the time to pause and sincerely delve into the depths of my inner world. This journal is the fruit of resilience and fighting spirit. May it be a guide to your own truth, so you can remain authentic in a world obsessed with statistics.”

Yoann’s diary is set to be a fascinating read, with the star drawing upon his experiences in the industry for the revealing book. The innovative artist also pairs the book with his new album ELECTRA, from which he previously released the singles Wake Up and Sleepless. The full tracklist for the ELECTRA album is below.

You can order Electra: Journal d’un artiste (devenu) indépendant from FNAC.
