Queendom is an album that marks a new era for the project while staying true to the essence of Minuit Machine. Produced under the Synth Religion label, this opus immerses us in Amandine's introspective realm, oscillating between darkness and light, between doubt and self-conquest. While retaining the emotional DNA of previous productions, Queendom stands out with a more pop-oriented touch, featuring tracks where Amandine sings in French for the first time. "Créatures," a collaboration between RAUMM and Minuit Machine, is a modern fairy tale -- a timeless love story that could take place in any era. This salvific love, rarely seen today, embodies a poignant depth and beauty. Continuing the journey, "Cent Fois" -- a French-written track -- takes listeners into a techno-pop universe with nostalgic yet hopeful undertones. This song perfectly reflects Minuit Machine's evolution toward a more radiant approach while staying faithful to its dark heritage. "Party People," on the other hand, is a return to roots with dark wave/Italo sounds. "Mes Souvenirs," created in collaboration with Rebeka Warrior, dives intimately into the memories of Amandine and Rebeka. Together, they reveal fragments of their past -- precious and vibrant memories that resonate through powerful and melancholic electro sounds. Finally, the eponymous track "Queendom" invites listeners to plunge into the depths of Amandine's world -- a universe that is both tormented and icy, yet resilient. Supported by a slow and captivating rhythm, this track is designed to grip and haunt the listener, like an incantation. Queendom is a bold and hybrid work where each track reflects a pursuit of sincerity and artistic reinvention while maintaining the ability to express emotions through rhythms that are both danceable and introspective. The album showcases Minuit Machine's artistic maturity, establishing itself as a must-listen in the darkwave and electronic pop scene. Amandine entrusted the artistic direction of this album to Manon Dupeyrat, a brilliant young artist who crafted a bespoke universe perfectly aligned with the produced tracks. The album cover, both intimate and anachronistic, invites listeners into Amandine's private world through her bedroom, revealing what she wishes to share.
