The wait is over! French singer and all-around jazz sensation, Caloé, is back with her brand-new album Le Voyageur—and trust us, this is one trip you don’t want to miss! This album takes you on a musical journey through faraway places, emotional highs and lows, and, of course, some absolutely dreamy jazz tunes.

So, who’s coming along for the ride? Well, joining Caloé on this adventure is her fab trio: Clément Simon on the piano, Arthur Henn keeping the rhythm on the double bass, and Philippe Maniez laying down those sweet drum beats. Together, they’ve cooked up nine original tracks that transport you to different worlds, all while you’re sitting cozy at home (or bopping along on your morning commute!).

From the lead single “Le Voyageur” to the calming waves of “Vagues”, each song tells a story that you’ll want to play on repeat. And for those of you who love a good cover, you’re in for a treat—Caloé puts her own magical twist on Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day”, adding her jazz flair to the beloved classic.

Feeling adventurous? Dive into Le Voyageur, close your eyes, and let Caloé’s beautiful voice guide you through a world of emotions, stories, and melodies. Perfect for road trips, lazy Sunday mornings, or when you just want to get lost in music.
