Today artist, producer and
beatmaker Estère opens up her musical adventures to
the world with her self-produced double album My Design, On Others’
Lives, following a mammoth year which included opening for legendary
icon Grace Jones and sell-out shows in New Zealand
and abroad, in a championed return to the scene following the 2014 release of
her self-titled, debut album.
Wherever the stories go, the production follows. Never one to do things by the book, Estère takes on a unique plethora of sonic textures and samples, blending a wide range of stories and experiences of her own and those of others.
From the very first reverberant creak of the opening track Vietnam until the folk-meets-electronic bounce of Guilty, the album’s final track, Estère’s playful, explorative and widely sourced musical sensibility takes listeners on a unique journey through time, space and sound.
My Design, On Others’ Lives is
out now on all digital streaming platforms, and available on CD, vinyl and
cassette where all good music lives.
