Apres La Nuit is a female-male duo consisting of Marilyne Jallad, aka Marilyne B (vocals and lyrics), and Richard Abdeni (composer, producer, author, and singer). Before they started working together, they had separate careers. Marilyn released one album in French, and Richard recorded 5 albums and several EPs with the USA band Les Anges de la Nuit.
Before the actual release, they published their debut album in 2022, titled „Are You Ready For Love.“
„Aller-Retour“ is a release with 13 tracks, 10 original songs, 2 bonus tracks, and one remix. Their electro sound, which can be heard on the album, is, in a way, layered and to some extent colorful. As their press material states, it contains romantic elements in its approach, where, through various soundscapes, elements of synth pop are intertwined with dark wave touches. It is not such a common combination; the stylistic approach is accompanied at times by unexpected arrangement solutions, which in certain passages are more complex and layered. Combined vocal solutions manage to „break“ certain, perhaps expected, ways of arranging songs, but the approach they have created can be considered interesting to some extent.
The entire material, if we look at the electro tendencies, is modernized and technically well-processed. Personally, I wouldn’t single out any song in particular, and generally, the album should be viewed as a harmonious whole. Of course, in the way the artists themselves intended.
