Legendary figure in the electronic music scene, Jean-Michel Jarre continues to push the boundaries of his pioneering music with his latest single, “SYNTHY SISTERS TAKE 2,” in collaboration with the emerging British composer Adiescar Chase. Known for his groundbreaking album OXYGENE in the 70s, Jean-Michel Jarre’s influence on electronic music is immeasurable. With over 80 million albums sold worldwide and a reputation as a visionary in outdoor concerts, his impact on the genre is undeniable.
Adiescar Chase, an up-and-coming composer, brings her distinctive style and talent to the collaboration. Graduating with top honors in composition from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, she continued her studies at the National Film & Television School, further honing her skills. Her notable work includes the soundtrack for the Netflix series Heartstopper and other projects in various genres.
“SYNTHY SISTERS TAKE 2” is a rework of the track “Synthy Sisters” from Jarre’s acclaimed album OXYMORE, released in 2022. In this collaborative rework, Adiescar Chase adds her personal touch to “Synthy Sisters,” infusing it with her own signature synths and additional operatic vocals. The result is a stunning composition that seamlessly blends Jean-Michel Jarre’s forward-thinking synth-driven sound with delicate neo-classical elements. The track unfolds with a gentle beat, creating a mesmerising soundscape filled with kaleidoscopic synth tones and spliced vocal samples that flutter amidst a dazzling sonic tapestry of spacey textures.
For Adiescar Chase, the collaboration with Jean-Michel Jarre holds special significance, as his album OXYGENE played a significant role in shaping her musical journey. The experience of working with a pioneer like Jarre and his team has been inspiring, and the mutual trust in the creative process is clear in the final result.
The rework of “Synthy Sisters” is a showcase of the boundless creativity of both artists. Jean-Michel Jarre’s masterful sound design and Adiescar Chase’s skilful composition come together to create a track that’s at once nostalgic and fresh. The addition of Adiescar’s vocals, both operatic and bold, adds depth and emotion to the already evocative piece. With “SYNTHY SISTERS TAKE 2,” Jean-Michel Jarre and Adiescar Chase demonstrate their ability to blend genres and create a musical experience that transcends boundaries.
