New album release 'Affair of the Heart' presents a sophisticated pop opus,destined to unite the ears of dance floor dreamers and bedroom escapists alike.

Powerful male & female harmonies melt overan ocean of warm electronics, voluptuous dance floor beats and euphoric discoarpeggios, as you’re welcomed into a rich fantasy world of exotic spies,demonic preachers and lonely souls lost at sea…

“Affair Of The Heart is a romantic journey in the classicsense of the term. Our study of human passion from its most uplifting to itsgloomiest...”

Formed after a chance meeting at amasked ball in London, French performerValerie Renay and German producer Sebastian Lee Philipp have spent the last fewyears touring the European club circuit, picking up a Russian Music Prize fortheir chanson pop album ‘In Exile’ along the way…

However, when it came to working on their latest release, the duo lockedthemselves away in a live-in factory on the outskirts of Berlin (at studiohaven ‘Turmwerk’, founded by Chris Corner of Sneaker Pimps/IAMX.) Undisturbedby the rest of the world, they collaborated for the first time with mixingengineers David Wrench (Caribou, Bat For Lashes) and Harald Blüchel (CosmicBaby, Energy 52) in order to bring a fresh dimensionto their sound.

The result is an album that defies the isolation it sprungfrom and instead, shoots straight for the dance flloor and into the soul.Harnessing pop sensibilites and a slick electronic production, ‘Affair of theHeart’ recalls the emotional energy of iconic 80s bands like Eurythmics, Tearsfor Fears and Depeche Mode, whilst also reaching out to fans of morecontemporary favourites like Hurts, The Knife, Austra and Trust.

It’s a far cry from theirarty beginnings in London's electro-punk scene, but if the album’s chilling andhypnotic cover of an Eagles’ classic demonstrates anything, it’s that not onlyare Valerie and Sebastian braving new territories;they’re creating their own as well…

"As an artist,you never know how the music will sound after you leave the dream world of thestudio, and how it will translate into the real world of the listeners. Themany moments of joy, the countless late nights we spent in the studio, and passionatelyworked on our music, remain particularly fulfilling moments in our memory. Ihope that this energy and emotion are felt by the outsiders, and will enticethem into our world...”

In short, NoblesseOblige welcome you to share the pleasures of their new found pop universe. Aninvitation no one should refuse.
