Chilean-born, Bristol-based DJ, producer, and vocalist Shanti Celeste is back with her highly anticipated second album, Romance, set for release on May 16 via the label head's own Peach Discs, in collaboration with Method 808. Marking her debut LP on the cult London-based label, Romance sees Celeste fully embracing her artistic evolution, delivering a lush and deeply personal exploration of love, longing and self-discovery across it's nine tracks. The album's bubbling lead single, 'Thinking About You', is out now - an emotional and dancefloor-facing glimpse into Celeste's new era with her voice at the fore.Shanti Celeste has long been revered for her radiant and infectious sound in a vibrant blend of house and techno. Romance 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.For all of Romance'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.The majority of Romance 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. Earlier this month Shanti celebrated the release of the vinyl version with a packed-out in-store set at Phonica Records in Soho.Tracklisting:A1. Butterflies A2. Light as a Feather A3.
