Well, that and to go to Mars. “I love space. I love aliens. I love thinking that we’re not alone in this big strange universe,” says the Montreal-based singer and multi-instrumentalist who records as MUNYA. “Those things give me hope.” Both the longing to make music and the desire for interplanetary travel come together in Boivin’s new album, Voyage to Mars. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNamed for Georges Méliès’ classic silent film Le Voyage dans la Lune, the record feels beamed in from another planet, suffused with an otherworldly light. It’s music that looks out to great darkness of the sky and the stars beyond for the inspiration to pursue your dreams. Born the youngest of a large family in a small Quebec town, Boivin’s path to music was a wandering one. After a high school teacher discovered she could sing opera, Boivin spent years in the opera world, before switching to jazz in college. It wasn’t until moving to Montreal that she began to hone her unique musical vision. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luminelle Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50476215796043,"sku":"1152021","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476216779083,"sku":"1152022","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/51146e79-d325-422e-b041-b8a4a428d955_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727455833"},{"product_id":"jardin-3","title":"Jardin","description":"\u003cp\u003eMunya is a Montreal musician originally from Saguenay (Quebec) who learned the classical piano at the age of 4. As a teenager, she began performing and studying opera. At 16, she traded her classical music studies for jazz . And this, until the end of his university studies. In 2018 Munya begins to release her first productions which she records, plays and produces. Her style? The \"New Synth Folk\", with a touch of pop \/ indie \/ sitar \/ dance \/ R\u0026amp;B. Now comes her new album \u003ci\u003eJardin\u003c\/i\u003e, which follows 2021's \u003ci\u003eVoyage to Mars\u003c\/i\u003e, an album she describes as an escape, an effort to push beyond the limits of reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor her new album, she wanted to take things a step further by working with multi-instrumentalist Kainalu, who eventually produced \u003ci\u003eJardin\u003c\/i\u003e. Although the artist has a solid musical background, working with Kainalu has helped her evolve her musical vision.   “This album is about the people who raised me, the people who inspire me, the people who made me the artist I am today ,” says Munya. Garden pays homage to the artist's mother and grandparents, but also to household names like Shania Twain, Maria Callas and Marvin Gaye. In the hometown of Josie Boivin (Munya), everyone has a garden. When the ground begins to thaw, people rejoice to see the perennials bloom as the days warm and pollinators return to the area. The garden is one of the places dearest to Josie, who remembers the long summers spent picking berries with her family in the area. Munya's childhood gardens were not perfectly sewn and manicured places, but spontaneous symbols of rebirth and renewal revered by all members of the community, who rejoice in their flowering. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandout tracks include 'Hello Hi', which is the title with which \u003ci\u003eJardin\u003c\/i\u003e opens, is exactly what it's supposed to be: a greeting. The artist explains to us: \"I wrote this song thinking of the person who will listen to the album, I simply say to him: \"Hey, hello, hi, how are you? How do you feel ? I really care about you.\" The song is dedicated to the listener, I welcome him.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    As for the single \u003ci\u003eUn Deux Trois\u003c\/i\u003e, she tells us: \"Munya has always paid tribute to Giorgio Moroder ; I referred to it as early as 2018 when I released my first song. This song is a tribute to him and to the music he inspired, like Daft Punk's incredible \"Giorgio by Moroder.\" When Daft Punk broke up after 28 years, I was devastated because they were some of my favorite artists. Moroder's influence can be seen in Jardin, but this song is especially for Daft Punk and anyone who loved Moroder's music. He contributed a lot to my career as an artist, as he did to them. Also, the world needs more music like Daft Punk and Giorgio Moroder.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luminelle Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50527563448651,"sku":"2045642","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/20000000217146_20daea7c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728055062"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_bb08cdb4_thumbnail_4096_915344be-29d8-4169-ac22-858dd9422fc5.jpg?v=1726983117","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/munya.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
