The Blaze

Body & Soul Stage
Sunday 18 June
11:00–12:00am
Formed in 2016 by Guillaume and Jonathan Alric, both from the worlds of cinema and photography, The Blaze immediately made their mark when the video for ‘Virile’ was released, followed by ‘Territory’, from the EP of the same name. It was a multi-award-winning visual impact that’s totalled nearly 100 million views. These two videos attracted the public and critics’ curiosity alike, in particular thanks to their scenes of communion. The deep vocals, which sound like they come from the depths of the soul, adorned refined, synthetic and linear productions, always in the interest of unity. Next came videos for ‘Queens’ followed by ‘Heaven’, both heralding the arrival of their debut album ‘Dancehall’, which cemented their long-term status on the international music scene.
On ‘Jungle’, their latest album the two producers, who are also cousins, have decided to be more versatile without abandoning their convictions. This new album is based on a pattern of an off beat, produced on synthesizers that act like a welcome electronic refrain, a base around which The Blaze weave and invent their musical canvas.
