Muri is gearing up for the release of her highly
anticipated debut EP, 11ème on all digital music platforms
worldwide this Friday, September 20, 2024.
The indie soul-pop release will explore themes of
adjustments, desolation, and challenges that one has to go through when
settling in a new city far away from the comforts of home. This record is
special to Muri as it allowed her to “try new things, challenge her assumptions
about songwriting, and inject elements of multiple worlds.”
“Writing this EP was a journey of learning to let go,
dealing with change, and rebuilding one’s self,” explains the globetrotting
singer-songwriter and violinist. “We all learn to rewrite our own stories, but
first we need to grieve, accept, and trust ourselves.”
For her new EP, Muri assembled a team of France-based
musicians and worked with them together in different locations, including Beajoulais
and Paris. The multi-talented artist, who also happened to be The Ransom
Collective’s violinist, also collaborated closely with indie producer Sacha
Arnaud in helping her vision come to life.
She also recruited Remi Klein and Tamino Edener as part of
the musician pool and recorded the final output at Audioscope in France. The
result is a sonically arresting release infused with dreamy synths, spoken
word, and snippets of multiple languages.
“I’m excited to just share a little bit of my world with
everyone,” Muri shares. “It's a concoction of stories, feelings, and languages.
And I want the music to simply be an exchange, a conversation. I want the music
to serve as a medium for sharing the insights I've gained from the world and
for listening to and understanding the narratives of others as they engage with
it."

Muri will launch her new record, 11ème at Sari-Sari
