NEW ALBUM | Aure - Printemps

French singer-songwriter Aure unveils new single/video ‘The Beginning’

Debut album ‘Printemps’ out now

Paris-based singer-songwriter Aure unveils ‘The Beginning’, the key single taken from her debut album ‘Printemps’ released today. ‘The Beginning’ comes to life through a film directed by Johanna Bennaïnous, a visual artist and filmmaker known for her work as part of the duo Elsa & Johanna.

The lyrics reflects on the end of a cycle while embracing the promise of renewal that follows. The music video invites on a sensory journey, exploring that in-between moment - a tipping point where the senses are heightened, the everyday life feels laden with meaning, and where a once-closed, silent world slowly begins to open. The theme of renewal and rebirth lies at the heart of the singer-songwriter's debut album ‘Printemps’.

printemps is an album of thresholds, written in that in-between space where one chapter ends and another begins. Aure evokes a new beginning and shifting bearings, a turbulent crossing toward a safer place, much like the migration of birds. 

Guided by the poetic minimalism of artists such as Atahualpa Yupanqui, Facundo Cabral, and Leonard Cohen, the mysterious force and chiaroscuro of Lhasa, Jessica Pratt, and Nico, and the precise minimalism of Bertrand Belin, the singer-songwriter draws from a wide range of musical influences and languages, allowing them to intertwine as different facets of her own identity. Her songs unfold within a visual world shaped by Graciela Iturbide’s photography, Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire, and the intimate collages of photographer Katrien De Blauwer.

All the songs on printemps were composed by Aure, produced and arranged by Corentin Ollivier, and mixed by Taissa Arruda.
