Marking her debut LP on the cult London-based label, \u003cem\u003eRomance\u003c\/em\u003e sees Celeste fully embracing her artistic evolution, delivering a lush and deeply personal exploration of love, longing and self-discovery across its nine tracks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShanti Celeste has long been revered for her radiant and infectious sound in a vibrant blend of house and techno. \u003cem\u003eRomance\u003c\/em\u003e takes this signature style to new heights, exploring the depth of romantic and platonic relationships that permeates the record with a pop-infused sheen. With her vocals placed front and center for the first time, Celeste weaves a sonic tapestry that is as introspective as it is euphoric; it’s a love letter to romance, but also an ode to the transformative power of opening your heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all of \u003cem\u003eRomance\u003c\/em\u003e's soft focus, it still functions for the dance floor - lead single ‘Thinking About You’ is poignant and heartfelt, driven by a shimmering groove and Celeste’s ethereal falsetto. Inspired by memories of a late friend, the song is a tribute to the enduring nature of love and loss. “He was my first boyfriend but also a really good friend,” Celeste shares. “He was a really important person in my life.” —a beautiful, danceable meditation on the power of remembrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of \u003cem\u003eRomance\u003c\/em\u003e was crafted between Celeste’s home of Bristol and London, featuring collaborations with longtime friend and esteemed producer Batu on ‘Note to Self’, ‘Light as a Feather’ and ‘Softie’. The album also sees Celeste teaming up with Austrian-Ethiopian harpist Miriam Adefris, whose delicate instrumentation adds a celestial edge to tracks like ‘Butterflies’ and ‘Medicine’. It follows her previous smash hit ‘Ice Cream Dream Boy’ last summer, which was named a track of the year by both Mixmag and DJ Mag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Method 808 x Peach Discs","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51477078180171,"sku":"R5486-5882","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/M808006-SITE.jpg?v=1742402894","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/romance","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
