Shanti Celeste Set to Release New Album “Romance”
Bristol-based Chilean DJ and producer Shanti Celeste is making waves with her upcoming album, Romance, slated for release on May 16. This project, which will be available through Peach Discs and Method 808, marks a significant evolution in Celeste’s career as it features her first-time venture into lead vocals throughout the album. The first single, “Thinking About You,” is a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend and showcases her expanding artistic capabilities.
Having carved out a prominent place for herself in the European club scene, Shanti Celeste released her debut album, Tangerine, in late 2019. Unfortunately, this release coincided with the onset of the pandemic, which severely impacted the nightlife sector. Celeste has maintained her connection with fans through various platforms, including her ongoing Club Celeste series at London’s venue, The Cause. This series continues on May 17, featuring an all-day party with a lineup that includes artists like Daisy Moon and Gabrielle Kwarteng, along with Celeste.
Tracklist for Romance:
01 Butterflies
02 Light as a Feather
03 Note to Self
04 Unwind
05 Watching
06 Romance
07 Thinking About You
08 Softie
09 Medicine
The album promises to explore personal and emotional themes, contributing to the ongoing dialogue about the resurgence of live music and club culture, particularly in London. As the landscape for nightlife evolves post-pandemic, Celeste’s work is expected to resonate with audiences seeking new sounds and experiences in dance music.
As the anticipation builds for Romance, it reinforces Shanti Celeste’s status as a dynamic force within the music community, encouraging listeners to embrace the return of vibrant club culture through her innovative approach.
