Dragon Reine’ is the 7th album from Brussels-based French musician Dea Hydra’s solo project Luminance. The 2nd album to be released on the Objetrouvé label since “Crystal Magic” in 2021, this new album is a collection of 6 tracks hammered out of the most precious metal, with a precision and obsessive taste for detail.

Without renouncing the bituminous darkness of his early years, with synthwave gems tailored for the dance floor such as “Seigneur du Soleil Noir” and “Trop Fragile”, the album nonetheless offers shining rays of unbridled romanticism such as the title track “Dragon Reine”, powerful hypnotic and diaphanous hymns (“Butterflies Someday”, “Le dernier chant des sirènes”) and grimacing hallucinatory nursery rhymes (“Rictus Circus”). Together, they form an initiation tale, pulling us out of cynical, mortifying darkwave and lifting us towards the horizon of romantic synthpop where the imagination shines with generosity.
