"Another Life" is the second album by singer-songwriter Nadine Khouri, set for release on Talitres on the 18th November 2022. Recorded in London and Bristol with producer John Parish, the album extends a collaborative partnership that began with Khouri’s acclaimed 2017 debut The Salted Air. First single "Vertigo" out today.

The album frequently touches on that which has been lost - from life in a pre-social media world, to a city that no longer looks the same, or the ghosts of those left behind.

"Another Life" closes in Marseille, which acts as something of a metaphor for hope. A key port for immigrants who have crossed the Mediterranean seeking a better future, Khouri has found herself spending more time in the city, seeking a more anchored life in a post-Brexit world. In the album’s final song, ‘Box of Echoes’, the narrator walks the streets of the city and reflects on the memories that he carries with him. “I traded everything to be here", Khouri sings, “I left everyone I held so dear". Finally, she begins to turn the page to a new chapter, reminding us that she will never fully leave behind the lives that have led her to this point.

"Another Life" available for pre-order from the Talitres webstore, via Bandcamp or all digital platforms.

First single "Vertigo" out today, along with a video directed by the filmmaker Tariq Keblaoui, a night walk through the empty streets of Beirut:

Talitres is delighted to welcome the British-Lebanese musician Nadine Khouri.

Since "The Salted Air" (2017, first album produced by John Parish), Nadine Khouri has offered a work of sensitive and overwhelming beauty. Her magnificent and timeless singing voice dwells prodigiously within us and paints landscapes of elegant melancholy.

MAXWELL FARRINGTON & LE SUPERHOMARD / NADINE KHOURI
Talitres In Waves — Concerts and cultural meetings
Saturday, September 17 — 7:30PM
Main courtyard of the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design, BORDEAUX
Tickets: https://bit.ly/ticketsinwaves

At the beginning of 2021, our vinyl records were welcomed on the asphalt installed in the main courtyard of the Museum of Decorative Arts and of Design (MADD, Bordeaux)* during the “Playground – Le design des sneakers” exhibition. It was a nice encounter.

Here we must pay tribute to the Musiques de Nuit team, and their unwavering support to the label, in different places in Bordeaux more than a decade ago, in anticipation of the opening of the “Rocher de Palmer” convert venue in Cenon, and since 2010 already, within this same Rocher.

Concerts are moments of sharing and conviviality. These events deepen when they are part of a collective and transversal approach, of a common desire to carry projects.

Next Saturday, September 17, two folk-pop gems from the Talitres catalog will take over the courtyard of MADD for and unforgettable concert.

21H30: Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard (quintet).
This orchestral and luminous pop, this baritone voice, these elegant arrangements will unfold under the windows of the aristocratic Hôtel de Lalande. An already memorable evening.
Album "Once" (2021), EP "I Had it All" (2022).
https://maxwellfarringtonlesuperhomard.bandcamp.com/

20H30 (opening act): Nadine Khouri (trio).
The Anglo-Lebanese musician’s compositions are stunningly beautiful. Through her rich and bewitching voice, she sings about exile, separation, joy, challenge and desire. Timeless and eternal. New album to be released this fall.

The evening will be preceded by meetings and events with the artists, intended for a multigenerational public, in the heart of the Museum’s collections and exhibitions. More details to come.

*At the 39 Rue Bouffard, this majestic courtyard, surrounded by old Bordeaux stones, opens its doors to the MADD housed in the Hôtel de Lalande, an 18th century private mansion.

Outdoor concerts, sitting/standing free seating.

Alcohols, soft drinks and snacks by Café Madd by SIP.
